Remote IO Server
The Remote IO Server software provides a way to connect via local area
network (Ethernet) to instruments that are physically connected to
another PC on the network. When the Remote IO Server is running on
one PC (the server), you can use instruments connected to that server
from other PCs (the clients) by using the Connection Expert to create
remote interfaces on the client PCs. See the Agilent IO Libraries Suite
Online Help for details.
VXI Resource Manager
The VXI Resource Manager is a software utility that initializes and
prepares a VXI system for use. If your system includes an E8491
IEEE-1394 PC Link to VXI interface, you can use the VXI Resource
Manager to determine whether your VXI system is properly configured.
The VXI Resource Manager runs when any of the following conditions
occurs:
• You start it from the Connection Expert’s Tools menu (select Tools >
VXI Resource Manager > Edit Resources, then click Run in the
resulting Resource Manager dialog box)
• You apply or cycle VXI mainframe power
• You press the E8491 Reset button
• You reboot your PC
In VXI systems with multiple E8491 interfaces, you can turn off
individual VXI mainframes without affecting other mainframes in the
system. When a mainframe is turned on, the VXI Resource Manager
reconfigures that mainframe.
