I have a VME-MXI-2 / PCI-MXI kit. I have one 5 slot VME chassis with the VME-MXI-2 card in the first slot and the one VME card in the second slot (no other cards). I ran RESMAN from MAX and am able to get the correct ID back from the system using VISA control panel or the VXIinReg.vi. I added a VME device in MAX which has a A24 addrs space with data range of 8FFE00 to 8FFEFF. I assigned it a logical address of 256 (default selection) with no manf id, name or anything else. I indicated it was in slot2. Created that profile then ran RESMAN again. Said it completed successfully.
1) Is that it? (I haven't done this before).
2) Does RESMAN write to the VXI init registers 0x0A, 0x0C, 0x0E, 0x010 ?
3) Should I now be able to read or write from/to the VME device using VXIin.vi and VXIout.vi? (it doesn't work) (bus error)
4) Since the VME card is A24 I set accessparms to 2 (there are several options here), address to 0x8FFEnn, width to 2 (expects 2 bytes back)
5) Is there another way to init everything other than MAX and RESMAN?
6) Can RESMAN be run more than once after power up? I have it set to run on boot up but there is no guarantee that the VME cage will be on.
7) Can I run RESMAN programitically?
There is no input for LA on these vi's.
Thanks for your patience.
