MXI Support in LabVIEW Real-Time

Hardware: PXI/CompactPCI>>Controllers>>PXI-8335, VXI/VME/MXI>>MXI Interfaces>>PXI-8336

Problem:
Can I use MXI-4/MXI-Express card to transfer data from a slave PXI chassis to the master PXI chassis with RT controller? Also, can I link the slave PXI chassis to the master PXI chassis in a daisy chain or star configuration using the MXI cards under LabVIEW RT?

Solution:
Yes. MXI-4/ MXI-Express cards are supported under LabVIEW RT. MXI-4 cards can be used to transfer data from a slave chassis to the master chassis. You can connect multiple slave chassis to the master chassis in Daisy Chain or Star configuration. MXI-4 cards can be used to create Multi-Chassis system under RT using star or daisy chain configuration.

MXI-Express doesn't support daisy chaining. However, multiple chassis can be connected to MXI-Express in Star Configuration depending on the number of ports on the MXI-Express.
