FALSE–indicates the HSM can be activated without an
HPU activation.

Optional Hardware Resource Name Changes

If you change the name of a hardware resource, you may invalidate existing configuration files.
This is because an existing configuration file depends on the names of the resources in the current
.hwi file matching the names of the resources with which the configuration was created. (These
are the names displayed in the Hardware Resources lists in the Station Builder application.)

If the names do not match, the configuration will not load into Series 793.00 System Software
applications.

Resource naming convention

Hwi files typically use the following resource naming convention for valve driver and conditioner
resources:

Convention: Resource model; Slot number; Connector number.

Example 1: 493.14 2SVD S5-J5.

Explanation: An MTS Model 493.14 2-Stage Servovalve Driver Board located in Slot 5 of the
chassis whose output is available from Connector J5.

Example 2: 493.21B DUC S3-J4.

Explanation: An MTS Model 493.21B Digital Universal Conditioner Board located in Slot 3 of the
chassis whose input is available at Connector J4.

VME Board Address Settings

If you use the Hardware Detect feature to add hardware resources, the board addresses are
correct and no further action is required.
