Getting Started with the Agilent E1438

To use the Resource Manager

The Resource Manager is a program from your hardware interface manufacturer. It looks at the

VXI mainframe to determine what modules are installed. You need to run it every time you power

up. If you get the message: "VISUCCESS_DEVICE_NPRESENT" then run the Resource

Manager.

Before running the Agilent E1438 software make sure that your hardware is configured correctly

and that the Resource Manager runs successfully. Before using your measurement system, you

must set up all of its devices, including setting their addresses and local bus locations. No two

devices can have the same address. Usually addresses 0 and 1 are taken by the Resource Manager

and are not available.

For more information about the Resource Manager, see the documentation with your hardware

interface.

Most Resource Managers will recognize the manufacturer and model number of the

Agilent E1438 but if your interface requires that you enter this information manually, use the

following:

Manufacturer number: 4095 (Hex FFF)

Model number: 622 (Hex 26E)
