MXI Interfaces to Everything is a custom ASIC designed by National
Instruments that implements the PCI bus interface. The MITE supports bus
mastering for high speed data transfers over the PCI bus.
million samples
most significant bit
mean time between failure
an SCXI operating mode in which analog input channels are multiplexed
into one module output so that your cabled DAQ device has access to the
module's multiplexed output as well as the outputs on all other multiplexed
modules in the chassis through the SCXI bus. Also called serial mode.
multiplexer—a switching device with multiple inputs that sequentially
connects each of its inputs to its output, typically at high speeds, in order to
measure several signals with a single analog input channel
NuBus—a slot-dependent, 32-bit bus type used in Macintosh computers
that has 32 interrupts
normally closed, or not connected
