VXI-MXI-Express Series User Manual
A Servant-only device that supports VXIbus configuration registers.
Register-based devices are typically controlled by message-based devices
via device-dependent register reads and writes.
The name of the National Instruments Resource Manager in NI-VXI bus
interface software. See also Resource Manager.
A message-based Commander located at Logical Address 0, which
provides configuration management services such as address map
configuration, Commander and Servant mappings, and self-test and
diagnostic management.
An acknowledge by a destination that signifies that the cycle did not
complete and should be repeated.
Root mean squared. See also
seconds
A functional part of a VME/VXIbus device that detects data transfer cycles
initiated by a VMEbus master and responds to the transfers when the
address specifies one of the device's registers.
A device configured for installation in Slot 0 of a VXIbus mainframe. This
device is unique in the VXIbus system in that it performs the VXI/VMEbus
System Controller functions, including clock sourcing and arbitration for
data transfers across the backplane. Installing such a device into any other
slot can damage the device, the VXIbus backplane, or both.
Sub Miniature Type B connector that features a snap coupling for fast
connection.
A device whose logical address cannot be set through software; that is, it is
not dynamically configurable.
A VMEbus signal that is used by a device to indicate an internal failure.
A failed device asserts this line. In VXI, a device that fails also clears its
PASSed bit in its Status register.
