Chapter 2 Installation and Configuration
© National Instruments Corporation 2-17 NI PXIe-1075 User Manual
The capability documentation for the NI PXIe-1075 chassis is contained in
the chassis.ini file on the software media that comes with the chassis.
The information in this file is combined with information about 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 NI provide the pxisys.ini file for the
NI PXIe-1075 chassis, so you should not need to use the chassis.ini
file. Refer to the documentation provided with the system controller or to
ni.com/support for more information on pxisys.ini and
chassis.ini files.
Device drivers and other utility software read the pxisys.ini file to
obtain system information. The device drivers should have no need to
directly read the chassis.ini file. For detailed information regarding
initialization files, refer to the PXI Express specification at
www.pxisa.org.
