After setting the address switches, record the logical address in the VXI Mainframe Overview
table.
Installing the Instrument in the Mainframe
After setting the logical address as required, you can now install the instrument in the mainframe.
1 Turn mainframe power off.
2 Install the instrument in the slot you previously identified.
Make sure, that either an HP E4805A Central Clock Module or a HP E4831A Clock and Data
Generator Module are at the leftmost position.
Make sure, that no VXI Module other than HP 81200 System Components are installed in
between this set of modules building the system.
3 Secure the module to the mainframe with the two retaining screws on top and bottom of the
front panel.
4 Connect Clock Distribution Cable
Build the new System
After powering up the system, open the HP 81200 Configuration Window and press the “Build
System” button. A diagnostic tool will be started which automatically updates your system
configuration files. If that step is not done, the User Software will not recognize new modules.
Deskew the Module
After installing new modules or after replacement of front-ends a Zero Adjust procedure has to be
performed to synchronize the outputs or inputs of the new module to the existing ones. Please
refer to the chapter “Using Auxiliary Functions” in the User Guide located on your system or just
use the on-line help system.
