The same functionality is available in
victext
with the
vxiinreg
command. You can use
help vxiinreg
for the command’s parameter
description.
You may now want to read the configuration registers from other VXI
devices in your system using the same procedure. The
InReg
operation
accesses only the upper 16 KB of A16 space. Try reading the registers from
one of the devices listed in the Resource Manager Display of
vxiedit
.
In this way, you can verify that your PCI-MXI-2 can access each device in
your VXI system successfully.
You can also access VXI and VME defines that are configured in A16, A24,
and A32 address spaces by using the
In
and
Out
operations in
vic
or the
vxiin
or
vxiout
commands in
victext
.
