Default Controller (LA -1)
Many NI-VXI functions use controller as a parameter with -1 accepted
as a valid value. You use this selection to determine which controller
you are referring to when you use -1 in these NI-VXI functions. Review
the descriptions of the NI-VXI functions to determine which are
applicable for this control.
By default, the Default Controller (LA -1) option is set to First
remote controller, so that any NI-VXI functions that are passed the
value of -1 for the controller parameter will be executed on the first
VXI/VME-MXI-2 in the MXI-2 chain. If you select the Local
controller option, the NI-VXI functions execute on the PCI-MXI-2.
