FP-DIO-550 in MAX

[TommyHelter]

Hello,

I am working offline on a project with a field point DIO 550 module.  In MAX, however, I can not find the 550 in the list.  Therefore, I can not configure MAX for the project and set point field point functions in LabView to the correct module.  I have FP 4.1 and MAX 3.1 updates.

Thanks,
TommyHelter

Tommy,

FieldPoint was designed so that as new modules are released, the FieldPoint Server will learn them rather your having to get a new version of NI-FieldPoint. The module information sheet is stored in a file in each module that gets uploaded to your computer when the system detects a module that it has never seen before and does not already have the file for. Once that has occurred, the computer will display the module in the device list and you can create new copies of the module. In the future, when a new version of NI-FieldPoint releases, it will already have that file included. Unfortunately, this update methodology does require you have at least one copy of the new module before you can configure it for the first time.

Regards,

Aaron
