which is described in Chapter 7, VXIplug&play
for the VXI-MXI-2. By default, the Transfer
Limit is set to Unlimited; with this setting, the
transfer count must not exceed 32 KB (8000 hex)
if the source of the DMA operation will use
synchronous MXIbus burst transfers. If you
changed the setting of the MXIbus Transfer
Limit control in the soft front panel to something
other than Unlimited, you must program the
transfer count to a multiple of the setting of the
Transfer Limit control. The only exception is
that you can also program the transfer count to
be smaller than the Transfer Limit control
setting. For example, assume the Transfer Limit
control in the soft front panel is set to 256. In this
case the transfer count must be programmed in
the range of 1 to 256 or set to one of 512, 768,
1024, and so on.
