The National Instruments VXI-USB interface kit links any desktop or notebook computer to the VXIbus using the Universal Serial Bus (USB). With the VXI-USB, your external computer performs as if it were plugged directly into the VXI backplane, giving it the capability of an embedded controller. Taking advantage of USB 2.0 technology, the VXI-USB achieves superior throughput for block transfers and word-serial (message-based) communication in comparison to IEEE 1394(FireWire)-to-VXI and GPIB-to-VXI interfaces. You can use the VXI-USB kit in any computer running Windows XP/2000.
