PCI Express and ExpressCard Remote Control for VXI NI VXI-PCIe-8361T, NI VXI-PCIe-8362T, NI VXI-ExpressCard8360T, NI VXI-8360T NEW! • VXIplug&play compliance • Complete interface to VXI from any PCI Express-based computer or workstation • PXI or laptop control of VXI with an NI ExpressCard-8360 • Thin, flexible cabling • 8 TTL backplane triggers and CLK10 available through front panel connectors • VXI Slot 0 capability, including Resource Manager • Up to 29 MB/s sustained throughput • Message-based (word serial) communication • Register-based communication • High-performance DMA transfers Driver Software • NI-VXI/NI-VISA (Windows Vista/XP) Application Software • LabVIEW • LabWindows™/CVI • Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Studio • C/C++ Overview The NI VXI-MXI-Express remote controller for MXI-Express is a flexible, high-performance solution for stand-alone computer control of VXI systems. VXI-MXI-Express makes your computer perform as if it were plugged directly into the VXI backplane, giving your host computer the capability of an embedded computer. By using this controller with any PCI Express-based system running Windows Vista or XP, you can choose from a wide variety of general-purpose desktop computers, laptops, or PXI host controllers. Systems equipped with this controller combine the high-bandwidth, low-latency MXI-Express interface with low-cost, general-purpose desktop computers or laptops 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 take advantage of the latest computer technology while using the same high-speed VXIbus interface. VXI-MXI-Express controllers have VXI Slot 0 capability, including a MODID (module ID lines) register and a CLK10 source. VXI-MXI-Express incorporates register-based Slot 0 functions, which the Resource Manager software in your PC uses to bring up the mainframe and begin normal operation. VXI-MXI-Express, which can also reside in non-Slot 0, incorporates automatic Slot 0 detection so you can move the controller from Slot 0 to non-Slot 0 without configuring any jumpers or switches. VXI-MXI-Express Triggering With the VXI-8360T, you can extend the 8 TTL backplane triggers and CLK10 between chassis through convenient front panel connectors and a separate trigger cable. Each trigger and the CLK are independently configurable as either inputs or outputs of the frame. The trigger bus is connected in a daisy-chain topology and can support up to six devices with a total of 19 m of cables. The software functions like VXI-MXI-2 with regard to the triggers and clock. Hardware Multichassis Configuration The NI VXI-MXI-Express Kit includes the following: • One C-size NI VXI-8360T controller • NI PCIe-8361, PCIe-8362, or ExpressCard-8360 • 3 m x1 MXI-Express cable • NI-VXI and NI-VISA driver software Like MXI-2 solutions, the VXI-MXI-Express Kit features NI-VXI/NI-VISA, so you do not need to modify your applications written with NI-VXI and/or NI-VISA. VXI-MXI-Express incorporates the same MITE ASIC as the NI PCI-MXI-2 and VXI-MXI-2 interfaces to deliver the performance of MXI-2 across a thinner, more flexible cable. You can use a single NI PCIe-8362 board to simultaneously control two VXI-MXI-Express systems in a star configuration. You can also incorporate multiple NI PCIe-8361, PCIe-8362, or ExpressCard-8360 devices in a PC or laptop to control multiple VXI chassis from a single host. You cannot use a VXI-MXI-Express controller to daisy chain multiple VXI chassis. PCI Express and ExpressCard Remote Control for VXI Software Ordering Information VXI-MXI-Express controllers are shipped with NI-VXI 3.5.1 or later and NI-VISA software, making them fully compliant with VXIplug&play specifications. You can run all the latest VXIplug&play software, including executable soft front panels, and standardized instrument drivers to ease your programming tasks. NI-VXI and NI-VISA feature a VXIbus interface library that works with most of the popular programming environments and compilers, including NI LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio for Microsoft Visual Studio; Microsoft Visual C++; and Borland C++. Application software developed using VXI-MXIExpress and NI-VXI/NI-VISA bus interface software is compatible with many other VXI controller platforms, including PXI and VXI embedded controllers and computers equipped with MXI interfaces. NI-VXI and NI-VISA 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.
