Slot 0 Resource Manager Operation
At startup, a GPIB-VXI/C configured as a Slot 0 Resource Manager
performs its self-tests, executes the RM functions, and then enters its
normal mode of operation.
Front Panel LED Indications for RM Operation
The five front panel LEDs are
SYSFAIL
,
FAILED
,
TEST
,
ON LINE
, and
ACCESS
. The GPIB-VXI/C uses the
FAILED
,
TEST
, and
ON LINE
LEDs
to indicate the progress of its self-initialization, self-test, and RM functions.
The LED indications are shown in Table 2-9. A successful system startup
will sequence through the first five states. The point of failure is indicated
for states in which the
FAILED
LED is lit for an extended period of time.
The LED indications are identical for Slot 0 Resource Manager and
Non-Slot 0 Resource Manager operation.
