VMEbus Timeout Value
When a VXI-MXI is installed in a VXIbus mainframe, the VME Bus Timeout Unit (BTO)
circuitry for the VXIbus mainframe must be on the VXI-MXI. If there are multiple VXI-MXI
interfaces in a mainframe, the BTO must be enabled on one of them and they must be in adjacent
slots. In the case of multiple VXI-MXIs, it is recommended that the BTO be enabled on the
VXI-MXI that is installed in Slot 0. The BTO monitors the current bus cycle and asserts the bus
error (BERR) signal if a data transfer acknowledge (DTACK) or BERR is not received from the
selected slave within the given amount of time after data strobe (DS1 or DS0) becomes active.
Whenever a MXIbus transfer into or out of the VXI-MXI occurs, the VMEbus timeout on the
VXI-MXI is disabled and the MXIbus System Controller BTO monitors the transfer. This
