About This Manual
VXI-MXI User Manual xii © National Instruments Corporation
How to Use This Manual
If you will be installing your VXI-MXI into a system with a VXIbus Resource Manager, you
only need to read Chapters 1 through 3 of this manual. If you have more than two VXI-MXIs
extending your system, you will find useful system configuration information in Chapter 5.
Appendix E is a quick reference for users who have a system containing two mainframes linked
by VXI-MXI modules. If you are writing your own VXIbus Resource Manager routines, you
can find programming information and descriptions of the VXI-MXI hardware in Chapters 4
through 6.
