The National Instruments AT-MXI is a high-performance communication link that interconnects devices. MXI operates like modern backplane computer buses, but is a cabled communication link for very high-speed communication between physically separate devices. MXIbus interfaces can be used in a variety of platforms including: the VXIbus and VMEbus backplane systems and the IBM PC AT, EISA, PS/2, Sun SPARCstation, DECstation 5000, RISC System/6000, and Macintosh computer systems. These interfaces directly and transparently couple these industry-standard computers to the VXIbus and the VMEbus backplanes. Also, they transparently extend VXI/VME across multiple mainframes and seamlessly integrate external devices that cannot physically fit on a plug-in module into a VXI/VME system.
The AT-MXI can function as both a MXIbus slave and a MXIbus master. As a MXIbus slave, the AT-MXI supports 24-bit (A24) addressing to PC AT memory and 16-bit (A16) addressing to the AT-MXI communication registers and to the PC AT I/O space. As a MXIbus master, the AT-MXI supports 32-bit (A32), 24-bit (A24), and 16-bit (A16) addressing. Both functions support 16-bit (D16) and 8-bit (D08) data transfers. Also, under both functions, the AT-MXI supports MXIbus block-mode transfers.
Since the AT-MXI uses the same communication register set that is used by VXIbus Message-Based devices, other MXIbus devices can view the AT-MXI as a VXIbus device. In addition, this interface is able to function as the MXIbus System Controller and can terminate the MXIbus signals directly on the AT-MXI interface board. The AT-MXI supports the MXIbus arbitration lock and fairness options.

Excellent customer service!
I found that the staff is very knowledgeable. I would recommend them to anyone looking for this type of equipment!
We found Artisan when our PXI Chassis broke, which shut down our production line. We were up and running in less than a day because they shipped overnight and talked our tech guys through the installation over the phone. ATG saved the day big time!
Artisan isn’t just a supplier with inventory. Their engineers helped diagnose a problem over the phone that would have taken us weeks to figure out!
