The PXI-specific signals are located on P2 and are only found on the
signals that are reserved or not used in the CompactPCI 64-bit
specification. Therefore, all modules that meet the requirements of the
CompactPCI 64-bit specification will function in the PXI-1000B.
Figures 1-1, 1-2, and 1-3 show some of the key features and components
of the PXI-1000B mainframe. Figure 1-1 shows the front view of the
