Introducing the IO Libraries
IO Libraries Overview
VXI Resource Manager Description
If your system includes an E8491 IEEE-1394 PC Link to VXI interface, you
can view the output of the VXI Resource Manager to determine if your
system is properly configured. The easiest way to view this output is to use
the IO Config utility to run the VXI Resource Manager.
The VXI Resource Manager initializes and prepares the VXI system for use.
The VXI Resource Manager will run when:
n VXI mainframe power is applied or cycled
n The E8491 Reset button is pressed
n It is activated from the IO Config utility
n It is activated from the Agilent IO Libraries Control icon
n The computer is rebooted
In VXI systems with multiple E8491s, individual mainframes can be turned
off without affecting other mainframes in the system. When a mainframe is
turned on, the VXI Resource Manager reconfigures the mainframe.
LAN Server Description
If you configured the LAN server on your system using IO Config, you must
now start the LAN server process on the system. To start the LAN server,
you can either restart (reboot) your system now or manually start the LAN
server process on your system.
