After upgrading PXI controller, all PXI slots show "0" in MAX

[RGA]

I recently upgraded from the PXI-8176 controller to the PXI-8187 controller and all of the PXI slots now show "0" in the PXI slot value within MAX (under "Traditional NI-DAQ Devices"). I am using the PXI-1006 chassis.

What's the problem there? I have all 18 slots full with three different types of cards and I'd like to be able to tell which is which without having to hunt for it each time I swap out a card.

Thanks,

Hi,
MAX is reading the former configuration of your sys.ini file for the PXI chassis. So we need to delete that and create a new one.
The best way to solve your problem would be to right-click on PXI System under Devices and Interfaces in MAX. Choose "Delete All Identifications". Your PXI system should then say "unidentified" by it. Right-click again and choose "Identify As", then choose your controller. All your modules and an unidentified chassis should show up. Then right-click on the unidentified chassis and choose the chassis you have. Once it's been identified, press F5 to refresh MAX and then all your devices under Traditional NI-DAQ should have the correct slot number by them.

Let me know if that doesn't work!
