The Resource Manager
The Resource Manager is a program from your hardware interface
manufacturer. It looks at the VXI mainframe to determine what modules are
installed. You need to run it every time you power up. If you get the
message: "No HP E1437A can be found in the system." then run the
Resource Manager.
Before running the E1437A software make sure that your hardware is
configured correctly and that the Resource Manager runs successfully.
Before using your measurement system, you must set up all of its devices,
including setting their addresses and local bus locations. No two devices can
have the same address. Usually addresses 0 and 1 are taken by the
Resource Manager and are not available.
For more information about the Resource Manager, see the documentation
with your hardware interface.
NOTE
Most Resource Managers will recognize the manufacturer and model number of
the E1437A but if your interface requires that you enter this information
manually, use the following:
Manufacturer number: 4095 (Hex FFF)
Model number: 534 (Hex 216)
Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com
