logical address An 8-bit number that uniquely identifies each VXIbus device in a
system. It defines the A16 register address of a device, and indicates
Commander and Servant relationships.
M
mmeters
master A functional part of a MXI/VME/VXIbus device that initiates data
transfers on the backplane. A transfer can be either a read or a write.
master-mode operation A device is in master mode if it is performing a bus cycle which it
initiated.
MB Megabytes of memory
MBLT Eight-byte block transfers in which both the Address bus and the Data
bus are used to transfer data.
message-based device An intelligent device that implements the defined VXIbus registers and
communication protocols. These devices are able to use Word Serial
Protocol to communicate with one another through communication
registers.
MITE A National Instruments custom ASIC, a sophisticated dual-channel
DMA controller that incorporates the Synchronous MXI and VME64
protocols to achieve high-performance block transfer rates.
