Figure 2-1. Measurement & Automation Explorer
Notice that Measurement & Automation Explorer assigns separate device
numbers to the PCI/PXI-7030 device and the DAQ daughterboard, as
shown in Figure 2-1. The DAQ daughterboard is shown as a separate device
under the 7030. However, the daughterboard has a device number that is
different from the 7030.
Remember the device numbers of your RT Series DAQ hardware. You need
them to download and run LabVIEW RT VIs to your RT Series DAQ
boards.You can change device numbers and other configuration settings for
the devices using Measurement & Automation Explorer. Changes to these
settings do not take effect on the RT Series DAQ board until you reset the
board.
You can test the resources of the 7030 using Measurement & Automation
Explorer. However, you cannot test resources or run test panels for the DAQ
daughterboard because even though the daughterboard is configured using
the host PC, the daughterboard is actually located on the local PCI bus of
the of the RT Series daughterboard. Only LabVIEW RT applications
targeted to the 7030 can access the DAQ daughterboard. For this reason, the
resource configuration on the PCI bus cannot be tested from the host PC.
You do not need to test the resource configuration because National
Instruments configures it and it does not change. In addition, applications
run on the host PC cannot access the DAQ daughterboard directly, even
