E1406-7 : Set Command Module’s Primary GPIB Address
The Command Module has a factory-set GPIB address of 9. If there is only
one Command Module (i.e. only one GPIB port) in your VXIbus
mainframe, then it is not necessary to change this setting. If there are
additional Command Modules in a system connected to the same controller
GPIB interface card, each module must have a unique primary GPIB
address. (Valid primary GPIB addresses are 0 through 30.)
See Appendix A, "Terms and Definitions," for more information on GPIB
(General Purpose Interface Bus).
"GPIB Controller" switch - ’1’ sets the Command Module as the GPIB
system controller (IBASIC applications) and ’0’ sets the talk/listen mode.
This switch should be set to ’1’ when IBASIC, rather than an external
controller, is to be the system controller.
"Diagnostic" switch - ’1’ allows the resource manager to start the system
instrument but does not start any installed devices. ’0’ starts the entire
system.
"VME BTO Disable" switch - ’1’ disables the Command Module from
functioning as the Data Transfer Bus timer. This function must only be
disabled when VXI-MXI mainframe extender modules are part of your
VXIbus system.
