PXI Trigger Connectivity

Chassis Configuration

The directory contains a subdirectory corresponding to the operating
os
system installed on your controller.
The rest of the directories correspond to each device in your controller.
Within each of these directories are the drivers for the devices. These files
and directories are copied exactly from the manufacturer distribution disks,
so the naming conventions vary from device to device.
The SMB connector on the NI PXI-8104 front panel can connect to or from
any PXI backplane trigger line. A trigger allocation process is needed to
prevent two resources from connecting to the same trigger line, resulting in
the trigger being double-driven and possibly damaging the hardware. At
the time of this manual's publication, this software is not yet available for
Windows. Contact National Instruments for more information.
Configuration of the PXI system is handled through Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX), included with the software pre-installed
on your controller. MAX creates the
the layout and parameters of your PXI system.
The configuration steps for single or multiple-chassis systems are the same.
An example of a multichassis configuration is shown in Figure 2-6.
