National Instruments 370551A-01 用户手册

Your PCI-MXI-2 kit includes the NI-VXI/NI-VISA bus interface software. 
In addition, you can use National Instruments LabVIEW to ease your 
programming task. This standardized program matches the modular virtual 
instrument capability of VXI and can reduce your VXI/VMEbus software 
development time.

LabVIEW is a complete programming environment that departs from the 
sequential nature of traditional programming languages and features a 
graphical programming environment.

You can use this section as a guide to quickly configure and operate your 
VXI or VME system using the PCI-MXI-2 and the VXI-MXI-2 or 
VME-MXI-2.

This section assumes that you intend to perform a basic configuration as 
follows:

•

You have one PCI-MXI-2 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.

•

You will be using the NI-VXI/NI-VISA software for initialization, 
configuration, and device interaction.

•

You will use the default hardware and software settings:

–

The PCI-MXI-2 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 the VXI/VME-MXI-2.

Refer to the 

 section for a complete listing of the hardware 

and software default settings. If you need more information or if you want 
to try a different configuration, refer to the appropriate hardware or 
software chapters in this manual, which describe the installation and 
configuration steps in greater detail.
