Chapter 1 Introduction and Quick Start
VXI/VME-PCI8022 for Solaris 1-10
©
National Instruments Corporation
This help file shows you the syntax for this command, which reads VXI
device configuration registers. The first argument is a logical address,
and the second is the offset of the VXI device configuration register to
be read.
Now type:
vxiinreg 1,0
This should return a value, such as:
Return Status (0): SUCCESS.
value = 0x4ff6
If the value ends with ff6, you have successfully read the National
Instruments manufacturer ID from the ID register for the VXI/
VME-MXI-2.
You may now want to read the configuration registers from other VXI
devices in your system using the command
vxiinreg. This command
accesses only the upper 16 KB of A16 space. Try reading the registers
from one of the devices listed in the Resource Manager Display of
either
vxiedit or vxitedit. In this way, you can verify that your
PCI-MXI-2 can access each of the devices in your VXI system
successfully.
You can also access VXI and VME devices that are configured in A16,
A24, and A32 address space by using the
vxiin or vxiout commands.
For more information regarding
vic operation and commands, refer
to the NI-VXI Graphical Utilities Reference Manual. For more
information regarding
victext operation and commands, refer to
the NI-VXI Text Utilities Reference Manual.
