E1406A User Manual and SCPI Programing Guide332 Configuring the Keysight E1406ACommand ModuleAbout This ChapterOne purpose of the Keysight E1406A is to providethe resource manager function required by VXIbussystems. This chapter describes the resourcemanager’s function and shows you how to modifythe configuration process with user tables youdownload into non-volatile user RAM. All of thesefunctions require the Flash ROMS Run/Load switchbe set to "Run".The main sections of this chapter include:System Configuration Sequence page 33Modules Configured Statically and Dynamically page 34Setting VXI-MXI Configuration page 40Setting Commander/Servant Hierarchies page 53A24/A32 Address Mapping page 59Interrupt Line Allocation page 69Starting System Operation page 77VXI SYSFAIL* Line page 77System Configuration SequenceAs mentioned in the C-Size VXIbus Systems Configuration Guide, the resourcemanager within the Keysight E1406A Command Module performs the followingsystem configuration sequence when power is applied:– Identify all statically and dynamically configured plug-in modules installedin the C-size mainframe.– Set commander/servant hierarchies whereby one or more plug-in modulescontrol other plug-in modules.– Perform A24/A32 address mapping so modules requiring additionaladdressing can receive it.– Allocate interrupt lines to manage communication between interrupthandler modules and interrupter modules.– Start system operation.
