32 System Instrument Configuration Chapter 2
VXI Module Locations And Logical Addresses
Refer to “VXI Modules” on page 34 for information on how to set the
Logical Addresses of the modules. For additional specific information about
a particular VXI module, refer to that module’s user manual. For cabling
information, refer to Chapter 4, “System Cables and Connectors” on page 63
of this manual.
The TS-5400 system can contain either one or two VXI mainframes
One VXI Mainframe
Algorithm
The following list shows the slot and logical addresses (LADD) for one VXI
mainframe (slots 0 to 12 as numbered from left to right).
• Slot 0 E8491 “firewire” or VXI-MXI-2, LADD = default
• Slot 1 E6171B Measurement Control Module LADD = 17.
• Slots 11 -2 optional instruments, LADD = slot #.
Notes Optional Instruments are loaded right to left starting in slot 11 without
blanks according to the One Mainframe Optional Instrument Priority Chart
below. For these instruments, the LADD is set to the slot number.
Multiple modules of the same type are loaded adjacent to one another.
Instrument types not present in the following list are replaced with the next
instrument on the priority list.

Two VXI Mainframe
Algorithm
Table 2-1 shows the slot and logical address (LADD) algorithm for two VXI
mainframes (slots 0 to 13 as numbered from left to right). The second
mainframe contains only optional instruments/modules.
