Setting the Module Address Switch The logical address switch factory setting is 24. Valid addresses are from 1 to 254 for static configuration (the address you set on the switch) and address 255 for dynamic configuration. The HP E1312A and HP E1412A support dynamic configuration of the address. This means the address is set programmatically by the resource manager when it encounters a module with address 255 that supports dynamic configuration. If you install more than one multimeter, each

Interrupt Priority The HP E1312A and HP E1412A Multimeters are VXIbus interrupters. However, there is no interrupt priority level setting to be made on the module. Interrupt priority level, setup, and activation are configured on the resource manager which is the interface to the VXIbus and contains any instrument drivers required to communicate with a VXI module. Your resource manager could be a VXI command module, embedded PC controller, the PC-based VXLink Interface (ISA-to-VXI), the Se
