Verifying the Firmware Version On the Master

All NI Controllers contain both an on-board NI Master and an Integrated Controller. If you are using an
NI-4000 or NI-4100 with installed NXC cards, these will also show up within the Online Tree tab.
Each of these components has its own corresponding firmware shown in parenthesis ().
1. After Studio has established a connection with the target Master, click on the OnLine Tree tab in
the Workspace window to view the devices on the System. The default System value is one (1).
2. Right-click the associated System number and select Refresh System. This establishes a new
connection to the specified System and populates the list with devices on that system. The
communication method is highlighted in green on the bottom of the NetLinx Studio window.
The current installed firmware version of the on-board NI Master is displayed to the
right of the device within the Online Tree tab as 00000 NI Master.
3. After the Communication Verification dialog indicates active communication between the PC and
the Master, verify the NetLinx Master (00000 NI Master) appears within the OnLine Tree tab of
the Workspace window (FIG. 6).
The default NI Master value is zero (00000) and cannot be changed.
