transfer operation to instruments. With the multiple windowing scheme of
the MITE, you can easily access all of VXI address space.
The VXI trigger interface on the VXIpc-700 is based on the MANTIS
custom ASIC. The VXIpc-700 front panel has two SMB trigger I/O
connectors, which you can use to route any of the TTL trigger lines
between the backplane and external devices. The MANTIS ASIC on the
VXIpc-700 provides the complete VXI interface to the backplane
connector in a single chip. The VXIpc-700 can respond to all VXI-defined
protocols on all P2 TTL and ECL trigger lines at the same time. The
MANTIS features an internal cross-matrix switching system for routing
between lines as well as to and from the front panel and onboard clocks.
Note
The MANTIS ASIC contains the exact functionality of the TIC ASIC, which
appeared on the VXIpc-486 Model 500 Series controllers. Any application that
currently uses any of the TIC functionality, such as the crosspoint switch and
counter/timers, can run on a controller containing the MANTIS ASIC without
modification.
