NI-VXI Software Installation and Configuration

Chapter 3

VXI-AT2023/NI-VXI ISC 386/ix Getting Started

Step 3.  Change the Path for the Utility Files (Optional)

If you want to run the NI-VXI utilities from any directory other than 

/usr/nivxi

, set the

environment variable 

NIVXIPATH

 to the main directory containing the 

/hlp

 and 

/tbl

subdirectories.

Note:

The manner for setting up the environment variable depends on the shell you are using.
Consult the online manual pages for information on setting up an environment variable.

For example, for the Bourne shell (the default shell on ISC 386/ix), if your main directory for the
NI-VXI software is 

/usr/nivxi

, add the following statements in the 

.profile

 file in your

home directory:

NIVXIPATH=/usr/nivxi
export  NIVXIPATH

If you are using the C-Shell (

csh

), and your main directory for the NI-VXI software is

/usr/nivxi

, add the following statement in your .

cshrc

 file in your home directory:

set NIVXIPATH 

/usr/nivxi

If you set the 

NIVXIPATH

 environment variable in this manner, the NI-VXI utilities can access

table, configuration and help files from the 

/usr/nivxi/tbl

 and 

/usr/nivxi/hlp

directories.  You can also add this directory to your default search path by modifying the 

PATH

environment variable.

Configuring the NI-VXI Software

Run the 

vxitedit

 device configuration utility if you need to make any changes to the default

software configuration.  You can also run 

vxitedit

 if you just want to examine the software

configurations.

The following sections describe how to modify and/or view the configuration information for
the AT-MXI board.  To modify or view manufacturer names, model names, or device ID
associations, or to obtain more information on non-VXI devices, refer to the NI-VXI Text
Utilities Reference Manual.
