Using System Configuration and Initialization Files

The PXI Express specification allows many combinations of PXI Express chassis and system
modules. To assist system integrators, the manufacturers of PXI Express chassis and system
modules must document the capabilities of their products. The minimum documentation
requirements are contained in 

.ini

 files, which consist of ASCII text. System integrators,

configuration utilities, and device drivers can use these 

.ini

 files.

The capability documentation for the PXIe-1083 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

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 NI provide the 

pxisys.ini

 file for the

PXIe-1083 chassis, so you should not need to use the 

chassis.ini

 file. Refer to the

documentation provided with the system controller or to 

ni.com/support

 for more information

on 

pxisys.ini

 and 

chassis.ini

 files.

Device drivers and other utility software read the 

pxisys.ini

 file to obtain system

information. The device drivers should have no need to directly read the 

chassis.ini

 file.

For detailed information regarding initialization files, refer to the PXI Express specification at

www.pxisa.org

.

Maintenance

This section describes basic maintenance procedures you can perform on the PXIe-1083
chassis.

Caution

 

Disconnect the power cable prior to servicing your PXIe-1083 chassis.

Service Interval

Clean dust from the chassis exterior (and interior) as needed, based on the operating
environment. Periodic cleaning increases reliability.

Preparation

The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service personnel. Read the

Read Me First: Safety and Electromagnetic Compatibility

 document included with your kit

before attempting any procedures in this section.
