Chapter 7 VXIplug&play for the VXI-MXI-2

CLK10

The VXI-MXI-2 can either receive or drive the MXIbus CLK10 signal.

In the default setting of Switch, the C-size VXI-MXI-2 uses the switch

setting of S7 for this determination; use switch S1 if you have a

VXI-MXI-2/B.

You can use the Drive or Receive options of the CLK10 feature to

override the switch setting and control the direction of the MXIbus

CLK10 signal. When receiving the MXIbus CLK10 signal, configure

the W3 jumper setting on the C-size VXI-MXI-2 (or the W1 jumper

setting on the VXI-MXI-2/B) to use the MXIbus as the source for

generating the VXIbus CLK10 (applicable only if the VXI-MXI-2 is a

Slot 0 device). When driving the MXIbus CLK10, the VXIbus CLK10

is used as the source. In this case, change the jumper setting so that it

does not use the MXIbus CLK10 as the source for the VXIbus CLK10.

Warning: Do not configure more than one MXIbus device to drive the MXIbus

CLK10. Setting up a second device to drive MXIbus CLK10 could

damage the device.
