With the single-slot, C-sized controller, your external computer performs as if it were plugged directly into the VXI backplane, giving it the capability of an embedded controller. Taking advantage of USB 2.0 technology, the VXI-USB achieves superior throughput for block transfers and word-serial (message-based) communication in comparison to IEEE 1394-to-VXI and GPIB-to-VXI interfaces. You can use the VXI-USB kit in any computer running Windows Vista/XP/2000. You gain flexibility, performance, and value by using a desktop or notebook computer for controlling your VXI system. Software The VXI-USB comes with NI-VXI/NI-VISA software, making it completely compliant with VXIplug&play Systems Alliance specifications. You can run the latest VXIplug&play software, including executable soft front panels, with which you can operate the instrument immediately, and standardized LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI instrument drivers to simplify your programming tasks. NI-VXI/NI-VISA comes with a VXIbus interface library that works with several popular programming environments and compilers, including LabVIEW, Measurement Studio, Microsoft Visual C++, Borland C++, and Microsoft Visual Basic. Application software developed using the VXI-USB and NI-VXI/NI-VISA software is compatible with many other VXI controller platforms, including embedded controllers and computers equipped with IEEE 1394-to-VXI, GPIB-to-VXI, and MXI-2 interfaces. NI-VXI/NI-VISA I/O software compatibility across platforms protects your software investment in the future. You can easily port VXI software to other platforms as your controller requirements change or expand in the future. Hardware The USB 2.0-compatible VXI-USB capitalizes on the higher data transfer rate and offers hot plug-in capability so that you can easily add USB devices to your PC and configure them without needing to power down your system. In addition, the VXI-USB features a word-serial accelerator to improve the speed of data transfers using word-serial protocol commands. For register-based communication, VXI-USB performance is comparable to the 1394-to-VXI and GPIB-to-VXI interfaces. Combining USB technology with a MITE ASIC, the VXI-USB interface features high-speed DMA and direct interrupt and trigger control, providing a low-cost, easy-to-use, and powerful VXI control solution. The VXI-USB Slot 0 module connects to the computer using a thin, very flexible USB cable for easy rack-mount system installation and configuration. Performance Designed for high-speed streaming, USB 2.0 transfers data at rates up to 480 Mbits/s across the USB link. Using this technology, the VXI-USB is optimized for word-serial communication and achieves a faster block throughput rate than either the IEEE 1394-to-VXI or GPIB-to-VXI remote interfaces. The VXI-USB achieves a data transfer rate of up to 32 MB/s sustained throughput between the local computer memory and the VXIbus. It provides you with a high-throughput solution for remote control of VXI systems using large block transfers and word-serial protocol. USB Remote Controller for VXI VXI Slot 0 Functionality The single-slot, C-sized VXI-USB module must be installed in Slot 0 in your VXI mainframe. It provides all Slot 0 capabilities including slot identification and bus management responsibilities. VXI Triggers and Interrupts With the VXI-USB controller, your computer can detect and service all VXIbus interrupt lines and VXI triggers in any or all VXI mainframes to which it is connected.
