Chapter 1 Introduction and Quick Start

The same functionality is available in victext with the vxiinreg

command. You can use

help vxiinreg for the command’s parameter

description.

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

devices in your system using the same procedure. The

InReg operation

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

one of the devices listed in the Resource Manager Display of

vxiedit.

In this way, you can verify that your PCI-MXI-2 can access each device in

your VXI system successfully.

You can also access VXI and VME defines that are configured in A16, A24,

and A32 address spaces by using the

In and Out operations in vic or the

vxiin or vxiout commands in victext.

hardware or software chapters in this manual. The manual flowchart at the

beginning of this chapter directs you to where to find the information

you need.
