    The NI 660x devices contain the National Instruments MITE PCI interface. The MITE offers bus-master operation, PCI burst transfers, and high-speed DMA controller(s) for continuous, scatter-gather DMA without requiring DMA resources from your computer.
  • Page 12: Installation

    Chapter 1 Introduction sub-buses and PXI. The standard implementation for CompactPCI does not include these sub-buses. The PXI TIO Series device works in any CompactPCI chassis adhering to the PICMG 2.0 R3.0 core specification. PXI-specific features are implemented on the J2 connector of the bus. The PXI device is compatible with any chassis with a sub-bus that does not drive the lines used by that device.

  • Page 21: Transfer Rates

    Chapter 2 Device Overview Transfer Rates The maximum sustainable transfer rate a TIO device can achieve for a buffered acquisition depends on the following factors: • Amount of available bus bandwidth • Processor speed and operating system • Application software To reduce the amount of bus activity, limit the number of devices generating bus cycles.
