Setting Up an Embedded V743 Controller
This procedure describes the system configuration and steps necessary for
an Agilent E1497A V743/64 or Agilent E1498A V743/100 Embedded
Controller to be used as a VXI instrument controller. The steps in this
procedure include:
• V743-1 : The V743 VXI Configuration
• V743-2 : Set Up the Agilent E1406A Command Module
• V743-3 : Install the V743 Controller in the Mainframe
• V743-4 : Apply Power
• V743-5 : Where To Go Next
V743-1 : The V743 Configuration
As shown in Figure 2-31, the V743 controller requires the following
software package:
Agilent E2091C - Standard Instrument Control Library (SICL) HP-UX 9.05
(version C.03.02)
The V743 with the Agilent E2091C software provides the system’s resource
manager functionality. The V743 also provides the system’s slot 0 functions
when the controller is installed in mainframe slot 0.
Communication between the V743 controller and the instruments in the
mainframe is across the VXIbus backplane, or across GPIB through the
Agilent E1406A Command Module.
Note This procedure lists the V743 VXI configuration and covers installation of
the controller into a VXI mainframe. The procedure does not cover
installation of the Agilent E2091C software. Refer to the software
documentation for software installation information.
