Before proceeding to a description of each field in these editors, review
the remaining four options of the PCI-MXI-2 Configuration Editor.
These options directly relate to how you can use the changes you make
using the configuration editors, which are described after the options.
Update Current Configuration
Use this option to write the configuration settings to the PCI-MXI-2
EEPROM and files used by NI-VXI. It configures the PCI-MXI-2 to be
consistent with the configuration EEPROM. 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.
