Gentlemen;
I am new to LabView and am trying to get a software package working that was deveoped several years ago by peoople no longer with the company.
This is a automated test fixture (PC control, WinXP) for a devise that uses a NI interface (SCXI-6250/SCX-1000/SCXI-1160x2/SCXI-1180x1) to switch I/O to the unit under test. The software has to have a table somewhere that shows what individual I/O ports are assigned to specific functions. Can someone point me to where this table/list can be found. The software is not working (it was a one time build previously) and I'm trying to troubleshoot it. It was programmed in LabView v8.5.1 (I have a working copy installed on a second PC for troubleshooting). I have attached a block diagram of the PC/NI system
If there is a tutorial or guide somewhere that I can use, feel free to point me there.....
thanks
tom

Quite possibly what you are asking about would be in "MAX" (Measurement and Automation eXplorer), a National Instruments utility that should be installed on your machine. Depending on how the program was written it may use aliases created and stored in MAX. You say you have a working copy installed on another computer? Look at its version of MAX, also look for an "ini" file, that may have a list as well.

Are you looking for these:
If not, then you can share the snapshot of TABLE and we could probably help you to locate that.

Gentlemen;
I have apparently found it. It was in a file with .ctl extension. Now I have to figure out why it's not setting things correctly.
Thanks for the help.
