Description
The Part Number 182875D-03 refers to a specific product in the category of VXI Remote Controllers. This product is identified as the Model VXI-MXI, manufactured by National Instruments. It serves as a VXIbus Extender, designed to facilitate the interconversion between VXIbus bus cycles and MXIbus bus cycles. This capability ensures compatibility with 32-bit MXIbus systems.
One of the key features of this model is its Slot 0 Capability, indicating that it can be used in the primary slot of a VXIbus chassis, offering critical control functions. It is usable in both C-size and D-Size VXIbus chassis, making it a versatile choice for various system configurations. The primary functionality of this device is to extend the VXIbus to multiple devices, such as mainframes, instruments, and PCs, thereby enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the system.
When operated with a PC, it behaves like an embedded computer that has an external PC connection through the MXIbus interface. This operation mode allows for seamless integration and control of VXIbus devices via a standard PC, facilitating easier system management and data analysis. Among its notable features are the dynamic configuration of VXIbus devices and the ability to perform high-speed data transfers in integrated block mode, which are essential for efficient and effective system performance.
This model is fully compatible with both MXIbus and VXIbus specifications, ensuring a high degree of interoperability and flexibility in system design. Despite its Obsolete Status announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, offering continued support for existing systems and applications that rely on this technology.
