Introduction and Quick Start
This chapter describes the PCI-MXI-2 kits, lists what you need to get
started, introduces the concepts of MXI-2, and includes a brief description
of the hardware and software.
This chapter also contains a Quick Start section, which has the basic
information you need to install the PCI-MXI-2 kit with a simple
configuration, and a Default Settings section, which lists the hardware and
software default settings for easy reference. You may find that these
sections contain as much information as you need to get started with your
PCI-MXI-2 kit.
This manual uses the term PCI-MXI-2 kit when information applies to
either the VXI MXI-2 kit, which contains a VXI-MXI-2 module, or the
VME MXI-2 kit, which contains a VME-MXI-2 module. Similarly, the
term VXI/VME-MXI-2 means that information applies to either the
VXI-MXI-2 or the VME-MXI-2.
The following flowchart shows where to turn in this manual for more
information about configuring and using the hardware and software.
