Certified LabVIEW Associate Developer (CLAD) Practice Test 2026 – Comprehensive All-in-One Guide to Exam Success!

The correct choice indicates that you can verify the connection of a Real-Time CompactRIO to your development PC under the "My System" tree item in NI MAX (National Instruments Measurement & Automation Explorer). When using NI MAX, "My System" typically displays all locally connected devices, including those identified on your network. This is an essential area for checking the status and configuration of local hardware, making it the appropriate location for confirming the connection of your Real-Time CompactRIO.

In contrast, the "Remote Systems" tree within NI MAX provides access to devices that are connected remotely or over a network, rather than those directly on your development PC. Although the "Find Hardware" option in LabVIEW can assist with locating devices, it does not provide the same level of direct visibility into the status and configuration as NI MAX does. Thus, "My System" is favored for checking local connections.
