    Example Programs The following examples show an application using the E8491A’s shared memory. In the program, 8,000 readings are taken with the HP E1410 multimeter. Because the E1410 has only enough memory to store 4,096 readings internally, all 8,000 readings are stored in shared memory and then transferred to the PC.

    VXI mainframe 3. Child A node (HP E8491A) is a child if it is farther from the root than an adjacent node. In Figure 1, VXI mainframe 3 is a child node because it is farther from the root than VXI mainframe 1.

  • Page 60: Optimizing The Configuration

    Optimizing the I/O performance is impacted slightly by the hardware configuration.The VXI mainframe closest to the PC (root node) has the highest priority. For Configuration example, if instruments in VXI mainframes 1 and 3 (Figure 4-1) contend for the bus at the same time, the root node will grant mainframe 1 access to the bus first.

    2. A fairness interval consists of one or more subactions in which data packets are transferred over the bus. A fairness interval is as follows: 1. The interval begins when devices (HP E8491A’s) arbitrate for control of the bus. 2. When a device is granted control, it transfers its data packet and is then disabled from arbitrating until the next fairness interval.
