peripherals. These files and directories are copied exactly from the
manufacturer distribution disks, so the naming conventions vary from
peripheral to peripheral.
The SMB connector on the NI PXIe-8130 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.
The PXI Platform Services software installed on your controller and
available on the National Instruments Driver CD included with your kit
automatically identifies your PXI Express system components to generate
