Quick Start

You can use this Quick Start section as a guide to quickly configure

and operate your VXI or VME system using the PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2

Universal and the VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2.

The Quick Start summary assumes that you intend to perform a basic

configuration as follows:

• You have one PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal interface module,

which you will install in your PCI-based computer as the Resource

Manager (logical address 0).

• You have either one C-size VXI-MXI-2 or one 6U, B-size

VME-MXI-2, which you will install in a VXI or VME chassis,

respectively, and connect to the PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal.

• You will be using the NI-VXI software for initialization, configuration,

and device interaction.

• You will use the default hardware and software settings.

– The PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal is the main controller,

the VXI/VME Resource Manager, and a message-based device.

– Your system contains only one VXI or VME chassis.

– There is no shared memory used on the PCI-based computer, the

PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal, or the VXI/VME-MXI-2.

Hardware Installation

To guard against electrostatic discharge, touch the antistatic plastic

package to a metal part of your computer before removing the PCI-MXI-2

or PCI-MXI-2 Universal from the package. Install the PCI-MXI-2 or

PCI-MXI-2 Universal in an available PCI slot in your PCI-based computer.

Figure 1. PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal Installed in a Computer

By default, the PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal automatically detects

whether it should be the system controller on the MXIbus. Verify that the

correct cable end labeled Connect This End To Device Closest To MXIbus

Controller In This Daisy Chain is attached securely to the PCI-MXI-2 or

PCI-MXI-2 Universal. The cable must be connected in this manner so that

the PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal can correctly detect whether it

should be the system controller on the MXIbus. For more information, refer

to Chapter 2, PCI-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation, or Chapter 3,

PCI-MXI-2 Universal Configuration and Installation,oftheGetting

Started manual.

You received either a VXI-MXI-2 or a VME-MXI-2 in your VXI/

VME-PCI8022 kit. To guard against electrostatic discharge, touch the

antistatic plastic package to a metal part of your computer before removing

the VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 from the package. Install the VXI-MXI-2

in the first slot of a VXI chassis, or install the VME-MXI-2 in the first slot

of a VME chassis.

The VXI/VME-MXI-2 default configuration automatically detects whether

it should be the VXI/VMEbus system controller. The VXI/VMEbus system

controllers operate certain VXI/VMEbus lines as required for VXI/VME

systems. Verify that any other VXI/VME devices with system controller

capability in the same chassis are not configured as system controller.

Having more than one device configured as system controller will damage

the VXI/VME system.

Figure 2. MXI-2 Cable Configuration Using a PCI-MXI-2

or PCI-MXI-2 Universal and a VXI-MXI-2

For VXI systems that include VME devices, ensure that the VME devices

are not configured in the upper 16 KB (starting from 0xC000) of the

A16 address space. This region is reserved for VXI device configuration

registers, which are used for initializing, configuring, and interacting with

VXI devices. The PCI-MXI-2, PCI-MXI-2 Universal, and VME-MXI-2

also use this region for this purpose.

Also ensure that no VXI devices in your system are configured for either

logical addresses 0 or 1. These are the default configurations for the

PCI-MXI-2 or PCI-MXI-2 Universal and the VXI-MXI-2, respectively.

For more details on the VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 hardware, refer to

either Chapter 4, VXI-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation, or Chapter 5,

VME-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation,oftheGetting Started manual.

Installing the NI-VXI Software for Solaris

The NI-VXI Software includes two installation packages:

•NICpcimxi—the NI-VXI driver software

•NICcvirt—the CVI Runtime Engine (required by the NI-VXI

Graphical Utilities)

These packages are installed using the Solaris standard software packaging

mechanisms.

Note You must be logged in as superuser to install the NI-VXI software.

1. Change to the VXI directory on the installation CD-ROM:

# cd /cdrom/ni-vxi/VXI

Follow the instructions as prompted.

2. Transfer the software packages to the system:

# pkgadd -d .

The packaging utilities will prompt you for installation information as it is

needed.

Note If you want to install the NI-VXI software to a directory other than /opt/

NICpcimxi,usethe-a none pkgadd option:

# pkgadd -d . -a none

VME Users

When used with a VXI-MXI-2, Resman identifies and configures the VXI

devices, including the VXI-MXI-2. When used with a VME-MXI-2,

Resman configures the VME-MXI-2 to allow the PCI-MXI-2 or

PCI-MXI-2 Universal to access devices in the VME chassis. Resman does

not configure VME devices. The VME specification does not specify the

initialization and configuration procedures that the VXI specification

requires.

VXI/VME-PCI8022 for Solaris Installation Guide 6 ni.com

You should enter the information about your VME devices into the

vxiedit or vxitedit utility. Resman can then properly configure the

various device-specific VME address spaces and VME interrupt lines. For

more information on configuring non-VXI devices in your VXI system,

refer to the description of the Non-VXI Device Configuration Editor in

Chapter 3, VXI Resource Editor: VXIedit,oftheNI-VXI Graphical Utilities

Reference Manual. For more details about installing the NI-VXI software,

refer to Chapter 5, NI-VXI Software Installation,oftheGetting Started

manual.

Device Interaction

After Resman has detected and configured all VXI/VME devices, you can

view specific information on each device in your system by using the

vxiedit or vxitedit utilities. These utilities include a Resource

Manager Display, which contains a description for each device, including

each VXI device’s logical address.

You can interact with your VXI/VME devices by using the vic or victext

utilities. These utilities let you interactively control your VXI/VME devices

without having to use a conventional programming language, LabVIEW, or

LabWindows™/CVI™.

Try the following in vic or victext:

At the prompt, type:

help vxiinreg

This help file shows you the syntax for this command, which reads VXI

device configuration registers. The first argument is a logical address, and

the second is the offset of the VXI device configuration register to be read.

Now type:

vxiinreg 1,0

This should return a value, such as:

Return Status (0): SUCCESS.

value = 0x4ff6

If the value ends with ff6, you have successfully read the National

Instruments manufacturer ID from the ID register for the VXI/

VME-MXI-2.

You may now want to read the configuration registers from other VXI

devices in your system using the command vxiinreg. This command

accesses only the upper 16 KB of A16 space. Try reading the registers from

©National Instruments Corporation 7 VXI/VME-PCI8022 for Solaris Installation Guide

one of the devices listed in the Resource Manager Display of either

vxiedit or vxitedit. In this way, you can verify that your PCI-MXI-2

or PCI-MXI-2 Universal can access each of the devices in your VXI system

successfully.

You can also access VXI and VME devices that are configured in A16,

A24, and A32 address space by using the vxiin or vxiout commands.

For more information regarding vic operation and commands, refer to the

NI-VXI Graphical Utilities Reference Manual. For more information

regarding victext operation and commands, refer to the NI-VXI Text

Utilities Reference Manual.
