Introduction
In order to control the Pixie16 digitizer, the DAQ computer needs to recognize the digitizer via a PCIe card( for example NI PCI-8366).
The digitizer crate (XIA PXI CompactPCI) has 14-slot. The 1st slot must be the communication card (for example, NI PXI-8366). The remaining 13 slots can be used for digitizer and other modules.
The PCIe card and PXI Board requires no driver. The DAQ computer will treat it as a bridge.
In the computer (LINUX), using the command lspci to show the PCI connection
>lspci
as an example, part of the output:
04:00.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 41210 [Lanai] Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge (A-Segment Bridge) (rev 09) 04:00.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 41210 [Lanai] Serial to Parallel PCI Bridge (B-Segment Bridge) (rev 09) 05:0f.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: National Instruments PXI-8368 06:05.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments PCI2050 PCI-to-PCI Bridge (rev 02) 06:0f.0 Bridge: PLX Technology, Inc. PCI9054 32-bit 33MHz PCI <-> IOBus Bridge (rev 0b)
In the above output, the NI PXI-8368 board on the crate is detected. Also the PCI9054 communication chip is detected.
The PCI9054 (or PLX9054) chip is located at the corner of the Pixie16 digitizer.
