Chassis Configuration
Configuration of the PXI system is handled through Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX), included with the software pre-installed
on your controller. MAX creates the pxisys.ini file, which defines
the layout and parameters of your PXI system.
The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
An example of a multichassis configuration is shown in Figure 2-6.
