Another way to determine if your system is properly configured is to view
the output of the resource manager. The easiest way to view the output is
using the I/O Libraries' 'I/O Config' utility.
1. Press the HP I/O Libraries Control icon in the lower right-hand side
of your monitor and select "Edit VXI Resource Manager". In the
Resource Manager pop-up window, select "RM Output". The
resource manager output will show the "VXI Current Configuration"
with all devices it can communicate with listed in the "VXI Device
Table".
2. Click on Start >> Programs >> I_O Config to bring up the I/O Config
window (Figure 2-11).
2a. Select the "Configured Interfaces" name corresponding to the
E8491B to bing up the HP E8491 VXI Board Configuration
window (Figure 2-12).
