control described previously under the VXI/VME Bus Options section.
The options range from 8µs to 128 ms, with a default value of 1ms.
After the specified amount of time has elapsed, the BTO circuitry
terminates a MXIbus cycle if no slave has responded. The BTO
circuitry is automatically deactivated when the VXI/VME-MXI-2 is
not acting as the MXI Bus System Controller. The BTO is also disabled
when the current MXIbus cycle maps to the VXI/VMEbus through a
VXI/VME-MXI-2.

MXI Auto Retry

The VXI/VME-MXI-2 has an automatic retry feature for cycles that
map from the MXIbus to the VXI/VMEbus. This feature works in the
same manner as the Auto Retry control described previously under the
VXI/VME Bus Options section. By default, this option is disabled.
