Description

The ability to use PXI-compatible products with standard CompactPCI products is an important feature of PXI Specification Revision 2.0. If you use a PXI-compatible plug-in device in a standard CompactPCI chassis, you are unable to use PXI-specific functions, but you can still use the basic plug-in device functions. For example, the RTSI interface on the NI PXI-6115/6120 is available in a PXI chassis, but not in a CompactPCI chassis.

 

The CompactPCI specification permits vendors to develop sub-buses that coexist with the basic PCI interface on the CompactPCI bus. Compatible operation is not guaranteed between CompactPCI devices with different sub-buses nor between CompactPCI devices with sub-buses and PXI devices. The standard implementation for CompactPCI does not include these sub-buses.

 

The NI PXI-6115/6120 works in any standard CompactPCI chassis adhering to PICMG CompactPCI 2.0 R3.0. PXI-specific features are implemented on the J2 connector of the CompactPCI bus. Table 1-1 lists the J2 pins used by the NI PXI-6115/6120. The PXI device is compatible with any CompactPCI chassis with a sub-bus that does not drive these lines. Even if the sub-bus is capable of driving these lines, the PXI device is still compatible as long as those pins on the sub-bus are disabled by default and are never enabled.

NI-DAQ, which shipped with the NI 6115/6120, has an extensive library of functions that you can call from the ADE. These functions allow you to use all the features of the device. NI-DAQ carries out many of the complex interactions, such as programming interrupts, between the computer and the DAQ hardware. NI-DAQ maintains a consistent software interface among its different versions so that you can change platforms with minimal modifications to the code. Whether you are using LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI™, Measurement Studio, VI Logger, or other ADEs, your application uses NI-DAQ, as illustrated in Figure 1-1.

 

NI offers a variety of products to use with the NI 6115/6120, including cables, connector blocks, and other accessories, as follows:

• Shielded cables and cable assemblies

• Connector blocks, shielded 50- and 68-pin screw terminals

• RTSI bus cables (PCI only)

• Low channel-count signal conditioning modules, devices, and accessories, including conditioning for strain gauges, resistance temperature detectors, and relays.
