GPIB-VXI/C Startup Mode Configuration
Startup mode switches S19 and S20 control the GPIB-VXI/C operation
mode at system startup. They select one of three modes, as shown in
Figure 2-8. The three possible modes of startup are 488-VXI runtime
system mode, nonvolatile configuration mode, and diagnostics mode.
•
488-VXI runtime system mode
is the startup mode for normal operation
in a VXI system. The GPIB-VXI/C is configured at the factory to start
up in this mode. The remainder of this chapter contains a description
of operation in this mode.
•
In
nonvolatile configuration mode
, you can edit the contents of the
nonvolatile configuration parameter memory. Refer to Chapter 4,
, for more information on the nonvolatile
configuration mode of the GPIB-VXI/C.
•
In
diagnostics mode
, you
can
perform
extensive
offline
diagnostic tests
on the GPIB-VXI/C. Refer to Chapter 5,
, for a
description of the GPIB-VXI/C self-tests.
