Manual
This manual contains instructions for installing and configuring the
National Instruments VXI-PCI8022 or VME-PCI8022 Series interface
kit for Solaris. The VXI-PCI8022 kit includes a VXI-MXI-2 module,
which plugs into a VXI mainframe and links your PCI-based computer
to the VXIbus. The VME-PCI8022 kit comes with a VME-MXI-2 that
plugs into a VME chassis and links your PCI-based computer to the
VMEbus. Both kits include the PCI-MXI-2 interface board, which links
your computer to the MXIbus, and the NI-VXI bus interface software.
The VXI-PCI8022 and VME-PCI8022 kits are fully VXIplug&play
compliant.
This manual uses the term VXI/VME-PCI8022 when information
applies to either kit and the term VXI/VME-MXI-2 when information
applies to either the VXI-MXI-2 or the VME-MXI-2.
