Configuring the Agilent E1406A Command
About This Chapter
System Configuration Sequence
Chapter 2
One purpose of the Agilent E1406A is to provide
the resource manager function required by VXIbus
systems. This chapter describes the resource
manager's function and shows you how to modify
the configuration process with user tables you
download into non-volatile user RAM. All of these
functions require the Flash ROMS Run/Load switch
be set to "Run".

As mentioned in the C-Size VXIbus Systems Configuration Guide, the
resource manager within the Agilent E1406A Command Module performs
the following system configuration sequence when power is applied:
Identify all statically and dynamically configured plug-in modules
installed in the C-size mainframe.
Set commander/servant hierarchies whereby one or more plug-in
modules control other plug-in modules.
Perform A24/A32 address mapping so modules requiring additional
addressing can receive it.
Allocate interrupt lines to manage communication between interrupt
handler modules and interrupter modules.
Start system operation.
Once the power-on sequence is completed and the system is started, the
resource manager is no longer used.
