MXI-Express Gen-3 x16 is recognized as a collection of PCI-to-PCI bridges to the majority of
operating systems. It should automatically have CompactPCI Express support with most
systems such as Windows, Macintosh OS X, Linux, and Solaris. For full PXI Express
functionality, PXI Platform Services software is required. Refer to the Software Installation
and Configuration section for more information.
What software is required to use my MXI-Express Gen-3 x16 kit?
For Windows and LabVIEW RT, the required software is included as part of the latest version
of NI PXI Platform Services included with your kit. The software for your MXI-Express
Gen-3 x16 controller enhances the product, allowing you to view information about the
organization of your PXI Express system, gain access to the trigger routing capabilities of the
PXI Express chassis, and programmatically retrieve data about the chassis and modules you
have installed.
Refer to KnowledgeBase KB 53399AQ7, PXI Platform Services Operating System Support,
for the current supported operating systems for NI PXI Platform Services.
If PXI Platform Services does not support your operating system, you can still use MXI-
Express Gen-3 x16 as a PCI Express expansion solution. However, access to features such as
chassis and controller identification, trigger routing, and slot detection will be lost.
