Do I need to run Resman if I only have VME devices in my VME Chassis?
No, Resman is a VXIbus utility and performs no operations on VME devices. However, Resman does perform an important task on the VME-MXI devices. This task is to program the window registers of each VME-MXI to allow bus accesses to go into the mainframe. If you have only a single mainframe system, then you need to write the value 0x4700 to the 0xA register of the VME-MXI, and write the value 0x6000 to the 0xC, 0xE, and 0x10 registers of the VME-MXI, before you can access any other devices in the system. If you have more than one mainframe, consult the VXI-MXI User Manual or VME-MXI User Manual, or contact National Instruments technical support for more information on configuring the VME-MXIs. If you wish to use Resman to configure your mainframe, enter information about your VME devices in the Non-VXI Device Editor of the VXI Resource Editor program, vxitedit/vxiedit. When Resman executes, it uses the information to reserve system resources, such as address ranges in the VXI/VME address
