Multisystem eXtension Interface Bus; a high-performance communication
link that interconnects devices using round, flexible cables.
A functional module that has arbiter, daisy-chain driver, and MXIbus
Controller cycle timeout responsibility. Always the first device in the
MXIbus daisy-chain.
The National Instruments bus interface software for VXI/VMEbus
systems.
The National Instruments implementation of the VISA standard; an
interface-independent software that provides a unified programming
interface for VXI, GPIB, and serial instruments.
A device configured for installation in any slot in a VXIbus mainframe
other than Slot 0. Installing such a device into Slot 0 can damage the device,
the VXIbus backplane, or both.
The optional RAM installed into the SIMM slots of the MXI-2 board.
Peripheral Component Interconnect. The PCI bus is a high-performance
32- or 64-bit bus with multiplexed address and data lines.
The transmission of a signal through a computer system.
PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation; an open implementation of
CompactPCI that adds electrical features that meet the high-performance
requirements of instrumentation applications by providing triggering, local
buses, and system clock capabilities. PXI also offers two-way
interoperability with CompactPCI products.
