Update Current Configuration
Use this option to write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2
EEPROM and files used by NI-VXI. Notice that some of the configuration
settings cannot take effect until you reset the machine, either by using the
reset button or by turning the power off and on again.
Record Configuration to File
With this option you can save your configuration settings to a file. Notice
that this option does not write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2
configuration EEPROM.
If you want to update the PCI-MXI-2 configuration settings, use the
Update Current Configuration option instead.
Load Configuration from File
You can use this option to load your configuration settings from a file. This
action only updates the configuration settings in your editor. This does not
write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2 configuration EEPROM.
To update the configuration use the Update Current Configuration
option for the changes to take effect.
Revert to Current Configuration
If you made changes to the configuration settings without committing those
changes (writing to configuration EEPROM), you can revert the
configuration settings to the values they had before you made the changes.
Note You can successfully revert only if you have not yet selected the Update Current
Configuration option.
Logical Address Configuration Editor
Figure 6-3 shows the Logical Address Configuration Editor. Notice that the
options are arranged into three groups—Device Settings, VXI Shared
Memory, and Resource Manager. The following sections describe the
options you can select for each of the fields.
