Chapter 1
Introduction
This chapter describes the VXI-AT2022 interface kit and lists the contents of your kit and optional
equipment.
The VXI-AT2022 is an interface kit that links any IBM Personal Computer AT or compatible
computer (hereafter referred to as the PC AT) directly to the VXIbus. A PC AT equipped with a
VXI-AT2022 can function as a VXI Commander and Resource Manager. The VXI-AT2022 makes
the PC AT appear as though it were plugged directly into the VXI backplane as an embedded CPU
VXI module.
