You can use this Quick Start section as a guide to quickly configure
and operate your VXI or VME system using the PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2
Universal and the VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2.
The Quick Start summary assumes that you intend to perform a basic
configuration as follows:
•
You have one PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal interface module,
which you will install in your PCI-based computer as the Resource
Manager (logical address 0).
•
You have either one C-size VXI-MXI-2 or one 6U, B-size
VME-MXI-2, which you will install in a VXI or VME chassis,
respectively, and connect to the PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal.
•
You will be using the NI-VXI software for initialization, configuration,
and device interaction.
•
You will use the default hardware and software settings.
-
The PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal is the main controller,
the VXI/VME Resource Manager, and a message-based device.
-
Your system contains only one VXI or VME chassis.
-
There is no shared memory used on the PCI-based computer, the
PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal, or the VXI/VME-MXI-2.
