The Enhanced Monitor of the Agilent E8402 and E8404 mainframes plugs
into the VXI backplane from the rear of the mainframe. It does not occupy
a slot in the mainframe or tie-up the MODID line. The enhanced monitor is
a message-based device, allowing easy communication over the VXIbus
(for example, through a command module or embedded controller) or a
standard RS-232 interface. The enhanced monitor does require a VXIbus
address; 224 is the factory default. Figure 1-4 shows the rear panel of the
Agilent E8402/E8404 VXI mainframe with the Enhanced Monitor logical
address switches and RS-232 interface.
