VXI Configuration Utility
This chapter contains instructions for using the VXI Resource Editor
to configure the VXIpc embedded computer and the VXI-MXI-2 or
VME-MXI-2 chassis extender.
vxitedit is the VXI resource editor program you use to configure the system
and edit the manufacturer name and ID numbers, model names of VXI and
non-VXI devices in the system, and system interrupt configuration
information. This program also displays the system configuration
information the Resource Manager generates.
Running the vxitedit Configuration Utility
Type
vxitedit
to run the resource editor program. vxitedit presents a list
of several configuration editors. Select the VXIpc Configuration Editor
from the main menu. Later in this chapter are instructions for using the
VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor, in case your system contains a
VXI-MXI-2 or VME-MXI-2 chassis extender.
Most of the features on the VXIpc controller and VXI/VME-MXI-2 are
configurable through software, using vxitedit, rather than through hardware
switches or jumpers on the boards themselves. In addition, the vxitedit
utility can override some of the hardware settings.
The rest of this chapter describes only the features of the VXIpc
Configuration Editor and the VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor.
For instructions on using the other editors, refer to the
