Successful viIn Access in the VISAIC Register I/O Tab
If the data value ends in
ff6
, you have successfully read the National
Instruments manufacturer ID from your VXI/VME controller’s ID register.
You may now want to read the configuration registers from other VXI
devices in the system by opening the devices in VISAIC. Try reading a
register from each device listed in the MAX view of the VXI system. This
way, you can verify that the VXI controller can access each device in the
VXI system successfully.
You also can access VXI and VME devices configured in A16, A24,
or A32 space by opening the VXI MEMACC resource, which is VISA’s
representation of VXI memory. For more information about VISAIC
operations and commands, refer to the help in the Help menu and the
context-sensitive help (such as
What’s This?
), accessible by right-clicking
in any panel.
