VXI-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation
Caution
Do not configure more than one MXIbus device to drive the MXIbus CLK10.
Having a second device driving MXIbus CLK10 could damage the device.

Trigger Input Termination

The VXI-MXI-2 can also drive or receive the MXIbus CLK10 signal.
Switch S7 controls whether the VXI-MXI-2 drives MXIbus CLK10 from
the VXIbus CLK10 or receives MXIbus CLK10. As shown in Figure 3-5c,
if W3 is configured to use the MXIbus CLK10 to generate the VXIbus
CLK10 signal, switch S7 must be configured to receive MXIbus CLK10.
This is shown again in Figure 3-7a. If you change the S7 setting to drive
CLK10 out the MXIbus, do not set the W3 jumper to receive the MXIbus
CLK10; instead use the settings shown in Figure 3-5a or Figure 3-5b as
appropriate.
Figure 3-7 shows the configuration settings for receiving and driving
MXIbus CLK10, respectively.
Figure 3-7. Receiving or Driving MXIbus CLK10
You can use switch S2 to terminate the external trigger input SMB with
50 Ω. Figure 3-8a shows the default setting for a nonterminated trigger
input SMB. Use the setting of Figure 3-8b to terminate the trigger input
SMB. Switch S2 is located above switches S3, S4, and S5, which have no
effect on this configuration.
b. Drive MXIbus CLK10 from VXIbus CLK10
