Description
The 777178-01 is a part of the VXI Remote Controllers category, specifically the VXI-MXI-2 model, which is also referred to by its short description, VXI-MXI-2/B. This device is designed to be compatible with both C-size and D-size VXIbus slots, making it a versatile option for a range of applications.
It specializes in bus cycle conversion, including A24, A32, A16, D16, D08 (EO), D64 to MXIbus, facilitating seamless communication and data transfer across different bus systems. The VXI-MXI-2 enables connectivity by connecting VXIbus mainframes to MXIbus instruments, other VXIbus mainframes, or MXIbus-equipped PCs, thereby enhancing the capability to integrate various instruments for comprehensive testing solutions.
The device utilizes an MXI-2 bus interface and is equipped with several front panel connectors, including a trigger output, trigger input, external clock I/O, and the main MXIbus connector. This ensures that users have multiple options for connecting and synchronizing their test equipment.
Moreover, when the VXI-MXI-2 is plugged into slot 0 of a VXI mainframe, it assumes slot 0 functions, further proving its adaptability and importance in a VXIbus system. The device is also software compatible with NI Measurement Studio and NI LabVIEW, providing users with flexible and powerful software options for developing their applications.
