Installation
MXI-Express x1 is based on PCI Express technology, using PCI Express
switches and/or bridges to enable control of a PXI or PXI Express chassis
from a PC or laptop with an available PCI, PCI Express, or ExpressCard
slot. This technology will be recognized as a collection of PCI-to-PCI
bridges to the operating system, and should automatically have
CompactPCI support without any additional software.

trigger routing, and slot detection, install the PXI Platform Services software included with
your kit. This software also can be found at
ni.com/updates by searching for
PXI Platform Services.
