Once the NIFB software is running we are ready to start the
configurator tool.
Start FCS 1. Double-click on the NI-FBUS configuration icon on the desktop.
This software will again check to see that it can see all the
Fieldbus interfaces that we listed in the Interface Config.
Window, and it will ask which of the Fieldbus networks that you
want to configure.
The following window appears.
2. Select the Linking Device and associated Fieldbus you want to
configure and click OK.
IMPORTANT
You could go directly to the configuration tool
without manually starting the NIFB software. The
config tool, the FCS.exe, automatically starts the
NIFB software. However, if there is a problem with
the connection, the config tool may hang without
providing an indication of the problem. Therefore, it
is good practice to verify your connection by
manually starting the NIFB.exe before starting the
config tool.
