Description
The VXI-MXI-2 is a mainframe extender designed for VXI remote controllers. It comes with a part number of 183345D-01, with an alternate part number being 777178-01. This device falls under the category of VXI Remote Controllers and is specifically modeled as VXI-MXI-2. It is designed to fit perfectly into C-size slots while also being compatible with D-size slots, ensuring a wide range of compatibility across different mainframe configurations.
The VXI-MXI-2 operates using the MXI-2 communication protocol, providing robust and reliable data transfer between the host computer and VXI mainframes. This protocol facilitates bus cycle conversion including A24, A32, A16, D16, D08 (EO), and D64 to MXIbus cycles, ensuring a broad compatibility with various data transfer requirements.
Constructed with a metal enclosure, the VXI-MXI-2 is built to last, providing durability and reliability for extensive usage in harsh environments. The front panel of the device is equipped with several connectors including trigger output, trigger input, external clock I/O, and an MXIbus connector, offering flexibility in connectivity options for different operational needs.
When it comes to software compatibility, the VXI-MXI-2 is designed to work seamlessly with NI Measurement Studio and NI LabVIEW, two of the most popular software suites for data acquisition and instrument control. This compatibility ensures users can easily integrate the VXI-MXI-2 into their existing setups without the need for extensive modifications or upgrades.
Moreover, the VXI-MXI-2 is engineered to assume Slot 0 functions as per VXIbus specifications, further enhancing its versatility and making it a crucial component for any VXIbus-based system looking to extend its mainframe capabilities without compromising on performance or reliability.
