PXI Trigger Bus Routing
Some National Instruments chassis, such as the PXIe-1086DC, have the capability to route
triggers from one bus to others within the same chassis using the
Trigger Routing
tab in
MAX.
Note
Selecting any non-disabled routing automatically reserves the line in all
trigger buses being routed to. If you are using NI-DAQmx, it will reserve and route
trigger lines for you, so you won’t have to route trigger lines manually.
Complete the following steps to configure trigger routings in MAX.
1.
In the
Configuration
tree, select the chassis in which you want to route trigger lines.
2.
In the right-hand pane, select the
Triggers
tab near the bottom.
3.
For each trigger line, select Route Right, Route Outward From Middle, or Route Left to
route triggers on that line in the described direction, or select Disabled for the default
behavior with no manual routing.
4.
Click the
Save
button.

Using System Configuration and Initialization Files
The PXI Express specification allows many combinations of PXI Express chassis and system
modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of PXI Express chassis and system
modules must document the capabilities of their products. The minimum documentation
requirements are contained in
.ini
files, which consist of ASCII text. System integrators,
configuration utilities, and device drivers can use these
.ini
files.
