MAX Overview
Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) provides access to your National Instruments devices and systems.
With MAX, you can:
- Configure your National Instruments hardware and software
- Create and edit channels, tasks, interfaces, scales, and virtual instruments
- Execute system diagnostics
- View devices and instruments connected to your system
- Update your National Instruments software
In addition to the standard tools, MAX can expose item-specific tools you can use to configure, diagnose, or test your system, depending on which NI products you install. As you navigate through MAX, the contents of the application menu and toolbar change to reflect these new tools.
General information on each of the menu items is as follows. For device-specific help, please refer to the device help in the Help menu.
