more information about powering up/down the system.
The configuration utilities in your software kit are Resource Manager
(Resman) and Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX).
Resman configures all devices on the VXI backplane for operation and
allocates memory for devices that request it. Resman must be executed
every time the chassis or computer power is cycled, so that your application
can access devices in the VXI chassis.
MAX presents a graphical display of your entire test and measurement
system to help you configure and check the status of various components,
including the NI VXI-8360T/LT controller.
Complete the following steps to configure the VXI System.
1. Open MAX.
2. Select the VXI system that is controlled by the NI VXI-8360T/LT
controller listed under Devices and Interfaces.
