MXI System Controller

You can use the MXI System Controller control to determine whether the
PCI-MXI-2 acts as the MXIbus System Controller. The three options are
Auto, Yes, and No.
When the Auto setting is active (the default setting), the PCI-MXI-2
automatically can sense from the MXIbus cable whether it should be
theco ntroller. This setting requires that the cable is attached properly
before making any NI-VXI function calls or attempting to use the
VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor. Refer to the Connect the MXIbus
Cable section of Chapter3, VME-MXI-2 Configuration and Installation, or
the Connect the MXIbus Cable section of Chapter4, VME-MX I-2
Configuration and Installation.
