User manual

To repair your EEPROM, perform the following steps:

a. Power down your chassis and remove your VXI-MIO board

from the system.

b. Change switch S2 to the Load Factory Configuration setting.

c. Reinstall your board into the system and power on your chassis.

d. Run

RESMAN and launch the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility.

e. Select your VXI-MIO board from the list of devices and click on

Configure.

f. Set the address space and onboard memory fields to your

desired settings and click on Apply.

g. Exit the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility.

h. Power down your chassis, remove your MIO board, and set

switch S2 to the Load User Configuration setting.

Your EEPROM settings are now restored.

The VXI-MIO devices are bus mastering boards and they generate

VXI interrupts. Some VXI chassis require jumper settings for the

interrupt acknowledge and bus arbitration signals. Ensure that the

ACK signal and bus arbitration jumpers are removed from between

the slots that the VXI modules occupy and are present between the

slots that are empty. Refer to your mainframe documentation for

more information. To test your configuration, try installing the

VXI-MIO device adjacent to the VXI controller (slot 1).

2. When I attempt to save my configuration in the NI-DAQ

Configuration Utility, I receive a dialog box that says The device

is not responding to the first IRQ level. What does this mean?

If you followed the steps in the Software Installation and

Configuration sections of these release notes and you get this

message, most likely it means that your controller does not provide

kernel mode access and cannot handle interrupts from your

VXI-DAQ board. See question 6 for more information about kernel

mode access.

3. When I attempt to save my configuration in the NI-DAQ

Configuration Utility, I receive a dialog box that says The device

is not responding to the first DMA channel. What does this mean?

This message is returned when the NI-DAQ Configuration Utility

attempts to perform a DMA transfer from the board to your VXI

controller. If you followed the steps in the Software Installation and

Configuration sections of these release notes and you get this
