VXI-MXI-Express Series User Manual
A method of automatically assigning logical addresses to VXIbus devices
at system startup or other configuration times.
A device that has its logical address assigned by the Resource Manager.
A VXI device initially responds at Logical Address 255 when its MODID
line is asserted. The Resource Manager subsequently assigns it a new
logical address, to which the device responds until powered down.
Emitter-Coupled Logic
Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory—ROM that
can be erased with an electrical signal and reprogrammed.
An intelligent CPU (controller) interface plugged directly into the VXI
backplane, giving it direct access to the VXIbus. It must have all of its
required VXI interface capabilities built in.
electromagnetic compliance
electromagnetic interference
A voltage pulse from an external source that triggers an event.
A VXIbus device that will not arbitrate for the VXIbus after releasing
it until it detects the bus request signal inactive. This ensures that all
requesting devices will be granted use of the bus.
Software embedded in the NI VXI-8360T/LT controller, contained on
EEPROM and flash memory that can be updated with a special utility (part
of MAX). In combination with the hardware, the firmware enables the NI
VXI-8360T/LT controller to act as a translator between USB and VXI
protocols.
