Configuration and Installation Chapter 3 VXI-MXI User Manual 3-26 © National Instruments Corporation If the daughter card will be the first or last device in the INTX chain (irrespective of the VXI-MXI's position in the MXIbus chain), you should leave these terminators in place.
Chapter 3 Configuration and Installation © National Instruments Corporation 3-27 VXI-MXI User Manual • If interlocked mode is used, the VXI -MXIs must be the highest priority VMEbus requesters in their mainframe. However, one, and only one , mainframe in the MXIbus link can have a higher priority VMEbus requester than its VXI-MXIs.
Configuration and Installation Chapter 3 VXI-MXI User Manual 3-28 © National Instruments Corporation Connecting the MXIbus Cable MXIbus devices are daisy-chained together with MXIbus cables. Dual-ended cables are polarized and require proper connection to function properly.

Chapter 6 Theory of Operation © National Instruments Corporation 6-3 VXI-MXI User Manual The Synchronous protocol is a single trigger line broadcast that does not require an acknowledge from its acceptors. The source must assert the trigger for a minimum of 30 ns and allow at least 50 ns between assertions.
Theory of Operation Chapter 6 VXI-MXI User Manual 6-4 © National Instruments Corporation The two trigger interrupt conditions are Trigger Synchronous and Trigger Asynchronous. A synchronous trigger interrupt occurs when the input trigger signal changes from low to high.
Chapter 6 Theory of Operation © National Instruments Corporation 6-5 VXI-MXI User Manual Multiple MXIbus devices can interrupt on the same interrupt line; therefore, a MXIbus interrupt acknowledge daisy-chain is required. The MXIbus GIN and GOUT signals are normally used for the arbitration bus grant in/bus grant out daisy-chain.

Chapter 6 Theory of Operation © National Instruments Corporation 6-11 VXI-MXI User Manual Table 6-3. When a transfer involving an address in one of the inward windows is detected, the VXI-MXI begins arbitrating for the VMEbus. When the VXI -MXI wins the VMEbus, the MXIbus transfer is converted into a VMEbus transfer.
Theory of Operation Chapter 6 VXI-MXI User Manual 6-12 © National Instruments Corporation MXIbus specifies trapezoidal bus transceivers to reduce noise and crosstalk in the MXIbus transmission system. These transceivers have open collector drivers that generate precise trapezoidal waveforms with typical rise and fall times of 9 ns.
Chapter 6 Theory of Operation © National Instruments Corporation 6-13 VXI-MXI User Manual All MXIbus masters must have bus request logic for requesting the MXIbus, and the MXIbus System Controller must have bus arbiter logic to grant the bus to requesting masters.
Theory of Operation Chapter 6 VXI-MXI User Manual 6-14 © National Instruments Corporation For example, if the VXI -MXI owns the VMEbus and it receives a VMEbus bus request from another VXIbus device, the VXI-MXI continues holding the VMEbus and arbitrates for the MXIbus.
