NI PXI-1042 controller.ini file

[commodore]

Hi,

My PXI-1042 system just came in and now I am configuring the controller. A NI PXI-8361.

But in my MAX I can not find the controller.ini files. Where should I look when browsing for it ?

Same goes for the chassis but my guess is that the chassis three will become available when I found the controller.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Stieve

Just in the case you didn't yet found out, as your post is already quite old.

The PXI-8361 is a MXI controller using an external PC. Therefore in MAX, you have to identify is as 'External PC' and not an actual controller. Once this is selected, you should also get access to the proper chassis setup.

Indeed, that was the problem. The post is old but for starting users like myself, this is the solution.
