To access VXI memory or VXI devices, the controllers use the multiple windowing scheme of the MITE, so you can access all of the VXI address space. The MITE exports independent VXI address windows, providing the user with three completely user-configurable windows. You can use one or all three windows; you can also set each window size and location. This multiple windowing scheme alleviates the performance penalty related to the context switching of one window that you must constantly move between the different address spaces. DMA Transfers to and from VXI – A VXIpc-77x controller can perform block-mode transfers using one of the two on-chip DMA controllers on the MITE. Controlling external VXI devices often takes valuable CPU time because the microprocessor typically shoulders the burden of transferring data to and from devices. MITE-based VXI controllers, such as those of the VXIpc-77x, move the burden of block data transfers to one of the DMA controllers integrated in the MITE and free CPU processing time. Instead of the computer microprocessor transferring the data and/or commands, the NI-VXI/NI-VISA software executes the block data transfers with the MITE ASIC. While the MITE transfers the data, the processor can perform application- specific tasks, such as data presentation and analysis. VXI Slot 0 Functionality – VXIpc-77x controllers have full VXI Slot 0 capability, including a MODID register and a CLK10 source, as required by the VXIbus specification. You can also install a VXIpc-77x controller in another slot and use it in the non-Slot 0 mode. No matter what your configuration needs, VXIpc-77x controllers can automatically detect whether they are inserted into Slot 0 and automatically enable or disable the Slot 0 onboard circuitry without switches and jumpers. External VXI CLK10 Synchronization – VXIpc-77x controllers have SMB connectors on the front panel for an external clock. Onboard programmable logic can configure the controller and its 10 MHz VXI CLK10 signal to this connector as an output, or use this connector as an input for the 10 MHz VXI CLK10 signal. With a VXIpc-77x controller, you can configure multiple mainframes to operate off a single 10 MHz system clock. Advanced Trigger/Timing – With a VXIpc-77x controller, you have full software and hardware control of the VXI trigger lines. The VXIpc-77x controllers have two SMB trigger I/O connectors on their front panel for routing any TTL trigger line between the backplane and external devices. VXIpc-77 controllers can respond to all VXI-defined protocols on all P2 TTL and ECL trigger lines simultaneously. The hardware also includes an internal counter, which gives sophisticated counting of events and interrupting on trigger edges and pulses, as well as generating pulse trains, variable length pulses, and pulse stretching. VXI Interrupts – A VXIpc-77x controller can function as an interrupter and an interrupt handler for any or all of the VXIbus interrupt lines in a VXI mainframe. The NI-VXI/NI-VISA software can notify your application when any interrupt is asserted, and can assert any interrupt level with a programmable status. You can assign which interrupt levels should be handled by each device in the system with the NI-VXI configuration software. Software VXIpc-77x controllers include NI-VXI/NI-VISA software, making them completely compliant with VXIplug&play Systems Alliance specifications. NI-VXI/NI-VISA is the combination of our popular NI-VXI VXI bus interface software and our new-generation virtual instrumentation software architecture VISA I/O software, also standardized by the VXIplug&play Systems Alliance. Because VXIpc-77x controllers are completely VXIplug&play-compliant, you can run all the latest VXIplug&play software, including executable soft front panels. With these panels, you can operate the instrument immediately, and standardized LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Measurement Studio instrument drivers simplify your programming task. NI-VXI/NI-VISA comes with a VXI bus interface library that you can use with a number of popular programming environments and compilers, including LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, Measurement Studio, Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic. NI also offers industry-standard NI-488.2 software for controlling external GPIB instruments through the front-panel GPIB port. Application software developed using the VXIpc-77x controllers and the NI-VXI/NI-VISA bus interface software is compatible with many other VXI controller platforms, including computers equipped with a MXI-2- or MXI-3-based interface. NI-VXI and NI-VISA I/O software compatibility across platforms protects your software investment in the future. Because the software for all these configurations is compatible, you can program both general-purpose external PCs and embedded VXIpc controllers using the same programming tools and concepts. You can easily port VXI software to other platforms as your controller requirements change or expand in the future. The NI-VXI and NI-DAQ software for the VXIpc-77x controllers is not compatible with National Instruments legacy VXI data acquisition and signal conditioning devices.
