The National Instruments MXI-3 system is a PCI-PCI bridge that needs no software for normal operation. When the desktop PC or the CompactPCI/PXI controller powers on, the system BIOS scans its local PCI bus for devices. When it finds the primary interface of the MXI-3 card, it opens memory windows in the card and searches for PCI devices through those windows using PCI transactions. The PC recognizes all devices on the secondary bus to be on a single PCI bus.

The National Instruments VXI-MXI-3 is a single-slot C-size VXI module with front panel indicator LEDs. This product also has SC/PC optical I/O connectors for MXI, Trig I/O connectors, and an EXT CLK connector.
