VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor
LA Selection and Logical Address
You can set or modify the logical address of the VXI/VME-MXI-2 either
within the VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor itself or with the
onboard 8-position DIP switch. To select the configuration method you
prefer, use the
LA Selection
controls.
The default selection is the
Switch
option. Notice that the
Logical Address
control is inaccessible, because it would have no effect. In this option you
need to change the hardware switch setting on the VXI/VME-MXI-2 itself
if you want to change the logical address.
If you select
Software
for this option, you can then use the
Logical
Address
control to select a logical address within the range of 1 to 254.
If you use this option, the hardware switch setting has no effect and you
must use the VXI/VME-MXI-2 Configuration Editor to change the logical
address.
