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: “No HP E1433A can be found in this system,” then run the
Resource Manager.
Before running the HP E1432A /HP E1433A 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.
