This should return a value, such as:
Return Status (0): SUCCESS.
value = 0x4ff6
If the value ends with
ff6
, you have successfully read the National
Instruments manufacturer ID from the ID register for the
VXI/VME-MXI-2.
You may now want to read the configuration registers from other VXI
devices in your system using the command
vxiinreg
. This command
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
vxitedit
.
In this way, you can verify that your PCI-MXI-2 can access each of the
devices in your VXI system successfully.
You can also access VXI and VME devices that are configured in A16,
A24, and A32 address space by using the
vxiin
or
vxiout
commands.
For more information regarding
victext
operation and commands, refer
to the online help.
