PXI-8320

National Instruments PXI-8320 MXI-2 Bus System Interface Board
Features

• Interfaces the PXI/CompactPCI Bus to the MXIbus
• Supports D64, Block, and Synchronous MXI Cycles for High-Performance Data Transfer
• Directly Controls MXIbus Interrupt Levels, Utility Signals, TTL triggers, and CLK10

The National Instruments PXI-8320 is a 32-bit 3U style CompactPCI compatible plug-in circuit board. This interface links your PXI/CompactPCI-based computer directly to the MXIbus. The PXI-8320 is viewed as a VXIbus device since is uses the same communication register set as other VXIbus devices. Up to 16 MB of onboard DRAM can be installed on this board which can then be used as a dedicated data buffer or shared with the MXIbus or VXI/MEbus. The PXI-8320 can also serve as the MXIbus System Controller.

The PXI-8320 produces high-performance transfer rates by integrating the MITE custom ASIC.
