Series 700-2 : Set Up the Agilent E1406A Command Module
If an Agilent E1406A Command Module is part of your Series 700/MXI
based VXIbus system, you must configure the Command Module for use
with the Series 700 computer and the Agilent E1482B VXIbus Extender
module. This includes:
• setting the Command Module logical address so that it is a servant to
the Series 700
• setting the Command Module servant area so that it is the
commander of the system’s Agilent Technologies register-based
modules
• setting the Command Module primary GPIB address
• disabling the Command Module’s slot 0 and system controller
capability
• disabling the Command Module’s VMEbus Time Out capability
In VXIbus systems with an HP Series 700 computer, Agilent E1482B
MXIbus Extender, and a Agilent E1406A Command Module, the
following configuration is recommended:
– Series 700 (with the Agilent E1489I MXIbus Controller
Interface) is the resource manager
– Agilent E1482B MXIbus Extender is the slot 0 device
– Agilent E1406A Command Module is the commander to the
system’s Agilent Technologies register-based modules
The resource manager and slot 0 functions and commander/servant
hierarchy concepts are covered in Appendix A "Terms and Definitions".
