The capability documentation for the PXI-1031/PXI-1031DC chassis is
contained in the
chassis.ini
file on the software media that comes
with the chassis. The information in this file is combined with information
about the system controller to create a single system initialization file
called
pxisys.ini
(PXI System Initialization). The system controller
manufacturer either provides a
pxisys.ini
file for the particular chassis
model that contains the system controller or provides a utility that can
read an arbitrary
chassis.ini
file and generate the corresponding
pxisys.ini
file. System controllers from National Instruments use
MAX to generate the
pxisys.ini
file from the
chassis.ini
file.
Device drivers and other utility software read the
pxisys.ini
file
to obtain system information. Device drivers should have no need to
directly read the
chassis.ini
file. For detailed information regarding
initialization files, refer to the PXI specification at
www.pxisa.org
