Getting Started with the Agilent E1438

To use the Resource Manager

TousetheResourceManager

 

The Resource Manager is a program from your hardware interface manufacturer. It looks at the

 

VXI mainframe to determine what modules are installed. You need to run it every time you power

 

up. If you get the message: "VISUCCESS_DEVICE_NPRESENT" then run

 

Manager.

 

Before running the Agilent E1438 software make sure that your hardware is configured correctly

 

and that the Resource Manager runs successfully. Before using your measurement system, you

 

must set up all of its devices, including setting their addresses and local bus locations. No two

 

devices can have the same address. Usually addresses 0 and 1 are taken by the

 

and are not available.

 

For more information about the Resource Manager, see the documentation with your hardware

 

interface.

 

Most Resource Managers will recognize the manufacturer and model number of the

Note

following:

Model number: 622 (Hex 26E)
