Overview

Product overview

Key product information and technical features.

The PCI-MXI-2 installs in a PCI-based computer and provides the host-side interface in an external VXI or VME control system. The corresponding VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 extender installs in the instrument mainframe.

NI-VXI provides resource management, configuration utilities, and programming routines for this architecture. Integration should be planned around the specific hardware variant and software release rather than assuming that documentation for PCI-MXI-2 Universal applies unchanged.

Host interface for PCI-based external VXI/VME control systems.
Documented system configurations use VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 mainframe extenders.
NI-VXI supports resource management, interactive configuration, and VXI/VME programming.

FAQ

Product-specific questions

Product-specific answers based on available technical information.

Where does the PCI-MXI-2 install?

It installs in the PCI-based host computer. The VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 extender installs in the corresponding instrument mainframe.

Which mainframe interfaces does NI document for this card?

NI documents PCI-MXI-2 configurations with the VXI-MXI-2 for VXI mainframes and the VME-MXI-2 for VME mainframes.

Is PCI-MXI-2 the same catalog model as PCI-MXI-2 Universal?

NI documentation names PCI-MXI-2 and PCI-MXI-2 Universal separately. This record retains the PCI-MXI-2 identity; Universal-specific electrical specifications should not be applied without confirming the board variant.
