E1406-6 : Set the Command Module’s Servant Area
When the Command Module is the resource manager (logical address = 0),
its servant area should be set to 255. Thus, the Command Module will be
the (top level) commander for all modules with logical addresses between 1
and 255.
In a VXIbus system, modules in the "servant area" of another module are
servants to that module (the commander). The commander module controls
servant modules by translating Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments (SCPI) commands for register-based modules, or by serving as
the GPIB interface to message-based modules. The concept of the servant
area and commander/servant hierarchies is discussed more in Appendix A,
"Terms and Definitions."
