the system controller to create a single system initialization file called
pxisys.ini
(PXI System Initialization). The system controller
manufacturer either provides a
pxisys.ini
file for the particular chassis
model that contains the system controller or provides a utility that can
read an arbitrary
chassis.ini
file and generate the corresponding
pxisys.ini
file. System controllers from National Instruments use
MAX to generate the
pxisys.ini
file from the
chassis.ini
file.
Device drivers and other utility software read the
pxisys.ini
file to
obtain system information. Device drivers should have no need to directly
read the
chassis.ini
file. For detailed information regarding
initialization files, refer to the PXI specification at
