Step 3. Set the Logical Address for each M-Module
Guidelines for Determining Logical Addresses
Each VXI module or
An instrument's secondary address (used to program the module from GPIB) is derived by dividing the instrument logical address by 8. For example, a logical address of 24 is a secondary address of 03.
The E2251A comes from the factory with the
switches set to 0.1 In the E2251A
You must set the logical address switches for each
If you are using an E1406 Command Module set
Note
Unused Slots on the Carrier
Unused slots on the E2251A Carrier should have their logical address set to 0 (zero). With the logical address set to 0, the Carrier disables the circuits (interrupt, reserved memory, etc.) for that slot.
1.Note that in a standard VXI system, logical address 0 is reserved for the VXIbus command module / resource manager. On the E2251A Carrier however, logical address 0 causes the Carrier to disregard that
