Open VXI Configurations
The HP 81200 Data Generator/Analyzer Platform supports also Open VXI
configurations. Open VXI enables you to set up your test equipment as
compact as required.
As long as free slots are available, VXI modules of other systems can be
plugged into the HP 81200 mainframe. You need only take care that the
HP 81200 modules start from the leftmost slot and remain in contiguous
slots. Additional software can be installed on the built-in harddisk to
operate these modules.
The HP E4806A controller of a 13-slot mainframe can be replaced by a VXI
computer interface module, such as an IEEE 1394 interface (available from
HP) or an MXI-2 interface (available from National Instruments). Such
modules, which are shipped with suitable PC interface boards and cables,
make it possible to control the system from almost any Windows NT
workstation.
