Taking which you can operate the instrument immediately, and standardized LabVIEW advantage of USB 2.0 technology, the VXI-USB achieves superior throughput for and LabWindows/CVI instrument drivers to simplify your programming tasks. block transfers and word-serial (message-based) communication in comparison NI-VXI/NI-VISA comes with a VXIbus interface library that works with several to IEEE 1394-to-VXI and GPIB-to-VXI interfaces. You can use the VXI-USB kit in popular programming environments and compilers, including LabVIEW, any computer running Windows Vista/XP/2000. You gain flexibility, performance, Measurement Studio, Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++, and Microsoft Visual and value by using a desktop or notebook computer for controlling your VXI system. Basic. Application software developed using the VXI-USB and NI-VXI/NI-VISA Hardware software is compatible with many other VXI controller platforms, including embedded controllers and computers equipped with IEEE 1394-to-VXI, The USB 2.0-compatible VXI-USB capitalizes on the higher data transfer rate GPIB-to-VXI, and MXI-2 interfaces. NI-VXI/NI-VISA I/O software compatibility and offers hot plug-in capability so that you can easily add USB devices to across platforms protects your software investment in the future. You can easily your PC and configure them without needing to power down your system. In port VXI software to other platforms as your controller requirements change or addition, the VXI-USB features a word-serial accelerator to improve the speed expand in the future. of data transfers using word-serial protocol commands. For register-based communication, VXI-USB performance is comparable to the 1394-to-VXI and Performance GPIB-to-VXI interfaces. Combining USB technology with a MITE ASIC, the Designed for high-speed streaming, USB 2.0 transfers data at rates up to VXI-USB interface features high-speed DMA and direct interrupt and trigger 480 Mbits/s across the USB link. Using this technology, the VXI-USB is optimized control, providing a low-cost, easy-to-use, and powerful VXI control solution. for word-serial communication and achieves a faster block throughput rate The VXI-USB Slot 0 module connects to the computer using a thin, very flexible than either the IEEE 1394-to-VXI or GPIB-to-VXI remote interfaces. The VXI-USB USB cable for easy rack-mount system installation and configuration. achieves a data transfer rate of up to 32 MB/s sustained throughput between the local computer memory and the VXIbus. It provides you with a high-throughput solution for remote control of VXI systems using large block transfers and word-serial protocol. USB Remote Controller for VXI VXI Slot 0 Functionality The single-slot, C-sized VXI-USB module must be installed in Slot 0 in your VXI mainframe. It provides all Slot 0 capabilities including slot identification and bus management responsibilities. VXI Triggers and Interrupts With the VXI-USB controller, your computer can detect and service all VXIbus interrupt lines and VXI triggers in any or all VXI mainframes to which it is connected.
