## Setup

The magnetometer for the zero field systems uses an NI cDAQ and is configured on the NDX by `NI MAX` which should be in the start menu.
It's a network device so to find it on an instrument go to `My System -> Devices and Interfaces -> Network Devices`
Devices here use a baton system and need "reserving" - to do this right click on the device and reserve it. You may need to hit "self-test" and/or unreserve then re-reserve if this fails to reserve or communicate.
