PXI Trigger Bus Routing

Some National Instruments chassis, such as the PXI-1075 and the
PXI-1044/1045, have the capability to route triggers from one bus to others
within the same chassis using the Trigger Routing tab in MAX, as shown
in Figure 2-6.

Note

Selecting any non-disabled routing automatically reserves the line in all trigger

buses being routed to. If you are using NI-DAQmx, it will reserve and route trigger lines
for you, so you won’t have to route trigger lines manually.

Complete the following steps to configure trigger routings in MAX.

1.

In the Configuration tree, select the chassis in which you want to
route trigger lines.

2.

In the right-hand pane, select the Trigger Routing tab near the bottom.

3.

For each trigger line, select Route Right, Route Outward From
Middle
, or Route Left to route triggers on that line in the described
direction, or select Disabled for the default behavior with no manual
routing.

4.

Click the Apply button.

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.
