Overview
NI VXI-PCI80xx interface kits link any PCI-based computer directly to the VXIbus
using the high-speed MXI-2 bus. These kits make your computer perform as if
it were plugged directly into the VXI backplane, giving your external computer
the capability of an embedded computer. VXI-PCI80xx kits feature VXIplug&play
compliance and integrated software, including intuitive tools for troubleshooting
and debugging VXI systems. With the comprehensive NI-VXI/NI-VISA software
and programming libraries, you can program multiple mainframe configurations,
yet maintain software compatibility across a variety of VXI controller platforms.
Hardware
The VXI-PCI80xx series is a flexible, high-performance solution for stand-alone
computer control of VXI systems. Any PCI-based computer running Windows
Vista/XP/2000/Me/98/NT, Solaris 2, HP-UX, Mac OS, or Windows 3.1/DOS can
use the VXI-PCI80xx kits, giving you the freedom to choose from the wide variety
of general-purpose desktop computers. PCs equipped with a VXI-PCI80xx kit
combine the high-performance MXI-2 interface with low-cost, general-purpose
desktop computers to produce an attractive cost/performance solution compared
to embedded VXI controllers. By using MXI as your control solution, you can
upgrade your PC at any time to capitalize on the latest computer technology
while using the same high-speed VXIbus interface.
The VXI-MXI-2 module installed in your VXI mainframe has VXI Slot 0
Each VXI-PCI80xx kit includes one half-size PCI plug-in board, the NI PCI-MXI-2,
capability. The Slot 0 functions include a MODID register and a CLK10 source.

incorporates automatic Slot 0 detection so that you can move the VXI-MXI-2
With a VXI-PCI80xx, you achieve superior performance by incorporating the
MITE ASIC on the PCI-MXI-2 and VXI-MXI-2 devices. National Instruments
developed the MITE custom ASIC to streamline the connection between PCI
computers and workstations to both the MXI and VXI buses. Using the MITE,
you can transfer data between the local computer memory and VXI devices at a
33 MB/s burst rate. You can consistently realize a 23 MB/s sustained throughput
rate for data transfers across the MXIbus.
from Slot 0 to Non-Slot 0 without configuring any jumpers or switches.
Multiple-Mainframe Systems
Because the MXIbus is a full 32-bit multimaster system bus that interconnects
several devices at the hardware bus level, you can easily add more mainframes
to a VXI-PCI80xx configuration in a software-transparent fashion using VXI-MXI-2
mainframe extenders. These additional mainframes are daisy chained to your

computer and first mainframe using MXIbus cables up to 20 m in length. If your
system requires VME boards, you can even integrate one or more VME chassis

Shared Memory
With a VXI-PCI80xx, VXI devices also have access to the computer’s internal
memory. In other words, your computer memory is dual-ported to the VXIbus.
VXI bus masters can move data directly to or from the computer memory. You can
effectively manage this operation by using the NI-VXI/NI-VISA software driver
provided with the VXI-PCI80xx kits. By using shared memory, the computer acts

as a VXI slave device. The computer memory, which you can dual-port to the
VXIbus, resides in either the VXI A24 or A32 space. This means that VXI devices
that have VXI bus master capability can move data directly to and from the local
memory of your computer.
Software
VXI-PCI80xx kits come with NI-VXI/NI-VISA software, making them completely
compliant with VXIplug&play Systems Alliance specifications. You can run all
the latest VXIplug&play software, including executable soft front panels, with
which you can operate the instrument immediately, and standardized LabVIEW
and Measurement Studio instrument drivers to simplify your programming tasks.
NI-VXI/NI-VISA software features a VXIbus interface library that works with
several popular programming environments and compilers, including Microsoft
Visual C++, Borland C++, Microsoft Visual Basic, Measurement Studio,
and LabVIEW. Application software developed using a VXI-PCI80xx and
NI-VXI/NI-VISA bus interface software is compatible with many other VXI
controller platforms, including embedded controllers and computers equipped
with MXI interfaces. NI-VXI and NI-VISA I/O software compatibility across
platforms protects your software investment in the future. You can easily port
VXI software to other platforms as your controller requirements change or
expand in the future.
