Page 7: Procedure 2: Installing The Module In A Compactpci Chassis
The procedure for installing the module in a CompactPCI chassis is the same as the procedure for installing the module in a PXI chassis, but the following additional considerations apply to using your PXI module with a CompactPCI chassis. © National Instruments Corporation NI Digital Waveform Generator/Analyzer Guide... - Page 8 • The CompactPCI specification permits vendors to develop sub-buses that coexist with the basic PCI interface on the CompactPCI bus. Compatible operation of NI PXI modules is not guaranteed between CompactPCI devices with different sub-buses nor between CompactPCI devices with sub-buses from different vendors and PXI.
