NOTE A system using a Command Module as the resource manager identifies
instruments by an instrument identifier address. Instrument identifier
addresses are those divisible by 8 and must be used if you are using an
Agilent E1406A Command Module as the resource manager.
• MAINFRAME 1: Set the VXI-MXI module to address 2. Set other
VXI modules in the mainframe to addresses below 128. Note: The
resource manager must be at address 0.
• MAINFRAME 2: Set the VXI-MXI module address to address
128.
