COMM1B :
Embedded
Controller
Addressing
In systems containing message-based modules which are servants to the
Agilent E1499A embedded V/382 controller, the modules are programmed
from the VXIbus backplane rather than from the GPIB. The V/382
factory-set interface select code is 16.
Since no secondary address is required as when programming from the
VXIbus backplane, the logical address of the message-based module is
combined with the VXI interface select code.
For example, to program a message-based module with a logical address of
24, the OUTPUT statement in an BASIC program appears as:
OUTPUT 1624;"...
for logical addresses from 1 to 99
or
OUTPUT 160xxx;"...
for logical addresses from 100 to 255

verify communication over GPIB, between the V/382 and the Agilent
