Using PXI with CompactPCI

Using PXI-compatible products with standard CompactPCI products is an
important feature provided by the

PXI Specification Revision 2.0

. If you

use a PXI-compatible plug-in device in a standard CompactPCI chassis,
you will be unable to use PXI-specific functions, but you can still use the
basic plug-in device functions. For example, the RTSI bus on your NI 4472
for PXI/CompactPCI is available in a PXI chassis, but not in a CompactPCI
chassis.

Note

The CompactPCI specification does not require the chassis to 3.3 V to the

devices, but the NI 4472 for PXI/CompactPCI re3.3 V power on the PCI bus in
order to work. Refer to Appendix A,

Specifications

for complete power requirements.
