488-VXI Runtime System Operation
The GPIB-VXI/C is factory configured as a Slot 0 Resource Manager.
The Slot 0 and Resource Manager (RM) functions can be independently
defeated, resulting in four modes of operation:
•
Slot 0 Resource Manager (factory configuration)
•
Non-Slot 0 Resource Manager
•
Non-Slot 0 Message-Based device (non-Resource Manager)
•
Slot 0 Message-Based device (non-Resource Manager)
This section describes the GPIB-VXI/C configuration procedures and
startup behavior for each mode of operation.
Caution
Never
install a GPIB-VXI/C configured for Non-Slot 0 operation in Slot 0
or a GPIB-VXI/C configured for Slot 0 operation in any slot other than Slot 0. Doing
so can damage the GPIB-VXI/C, the mainframe, or other modules.
