configure ValueMotion board

I am upgrading a legacy system> In MAX I see the board correctly as PCI-Step-4OX(2). Status shows Board Family: Value Motion, Board Type: 12, Bus Type: PCI, ClosedLoopCapable: NO, Device Status: Working Properly, Number of Axes: 4.
In MAX under 1D Interactive I can get the motor to advance. But my program (originally written in LabVIEW4 now in 7Express)needs inputs Board ID and Slot#. I don't see anything in MAX for configuring these parameters (or even what the defaults might be.) The board seems to be working (from MAX interactive) how do I configure it to work with LabVIEW 7?

The board number by Default is 1. It is the number that is in () to the right of the board under devices and interfaces. What VI are you using that is asking for the slot number?

In the valueMotion\FunctionVIs\Advanced.llb I use Get Motion Board Info.vi and also Communicate.vi
In the valueMotion\FunctionVIs\Stepper Only Trajectory.llb I am using Read Position.vi and also Load Steps/sec.vi (I am using others, but these are the ones wired to the Slot# input).
Thanx for your help on this
