MAX does not show system hardware

I have installed LabVIEW for evaluation.

 

I was running through the tutorial: "Getting started with instrument controls"

 http://zone.ni.com/wv/app/doc/p/id/wv-1653 

 

This tutorial describes opening MAX to configure software and hardware.

 

However when I open MAX and look under "My System" it does not have a tab for devices and interfaces. It only has a tab for software that displays the LabVIEW software.

 

How do I set up MAX to see my devices and interfaces?

 

Thanks

Hi Abus,

 

Could you check in the software tab and see if DAQmx driver is installed on your computer? If not, please go ahead and download the DAQmx driver in the following link.

You should see the device and interface tab after installing the program.

 

I hope this helps.
