MXI CLK10 Signal
The VXI-MXI-2 can either receive or drive the MXIbus CLK10 signal.
In its default setting, the VXI-MXI-2 uses the switch setting of S7 to
determine the signal direction.
♦
VME users—This option is not applicable to the VME-MXI-2.
You can use the Drive or Receive options to override the setting of S7 and
control the direction of the MXIbus CLK10 signal. When receiving the
MXIbus CLK10 signal, configure the W3 jumper setting to use the MXIbus
as the source for generating the VXIbus CLK10 (applicable only if the
VXI-MXI-2 is a Slot 0 device). When driving the MXIbus CLK10, the
VXIbus CLK10 is used as the source. In this case, change the jumper
setting so that it does not use the MXIbus CLK10 as the source for the
VXIbus CLK10.
Caution
Do not configure more than one MXIbus device to drive MXI CLK10. Setting up
a second device to drive MXI CLK10 could damage the device.
