tector

Figure 2-26. The ArbDetector Dialog Box

The ArbDetector dialog box is divided into two sections. The left side
looks just like the familiar explorer program. This shows how many
devices are currently located inside your PXI system. This program
detects waveform generators only, not other instruments.
There are three tabs on the right side of the dialog box. Information,
Communication... and Settings... These tabs can only be used if at
least one instrument has been found in the system. To access these
tabs, click on one of the instruments on the left side to highlight it, as
shown in Figure 2-26. The information tab is automatically updated
from the instrument's flash memory with the following information:
model number, maximum sample clock rate, installed memory o p-
tion, installed clock option, hardware revision, production date, serial
number, firmware version, and its release date.
Notice the Actual Location fields. There are two parameters there
that are user controllable. These are the chassis number and actual
slot location. These parameters can be programmed in the Setting...
tab. If you have only one instrument in your system and do not care
about its actual and physical location in the system, then you do not
have to initialize these fields. In Figure 2-26, the instrument is located
in chassis number 1 and slot number 4.
