Notice that MAX assigns separate device numbers to the PCI/PXI-7030
device and the DAQ daughterboard, as shown in Figure 2-1. The DAQ
daughterboard is shown as a separate device under the 7030 processor
board. However, the daughterboard has a device number that is different
from the 7030 processor board.
You need the device numbers of your RT Series DAQ hardware to
download and run LabVIEW RT VIs to your RT Series DAQ devices.You
can change device numbers and other configuration settings for the devices
using MAX. Changes to these settings do not take effect on the RT Series
DAQ device until you reset the device.
You can test the resources of the 7030 processor board using MAX.
However, you cannot test resources or run test panels for the DAQ
daughterboard. Even though the daughterboard is configured using the host
PC, the daughterboard is actually located on the local PCI bus of the RT
Series processor board. Therefore, only LabVIEW RT applications targeted
to the 7030 processor board can access the DAQ daughterboard, and the
resource configuration of the daughterboard cannot be tested from the host
PC. You do not need to test the resource configuration, because National
Instruments configures the DAQ daughterboard, and the resources do not
change. In addition, applications run on the host PC cannot access the DAQ
