To install the E1437A
Caution
To protect circuits from static discharge, observe anit-static techniques
whenever handling the E1437A VXI ADC Module
1
Set up your VXI mainframe. See the installation guide for your mainframe.
2
Select a slot in the VXI mainframe for the E1437A module
The E1437A module’s local bus receives ECL-level data from the module
immediately to its left and outputs ECL-level data to the module
immediately to its right. Every module using the local bus is keyed to
prevent two modules from fitting next to each other unless they are
compatible. If you will be using the local bus, select adjacent slots
immediately to the left of the data-receiving module. If the VXI bus is
used, maximum data rates will be reduced but the module can be placed
in any available slot.
3
Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, set the logical address configuration
switch on the E1437A.
(See the illustration on the next page.) Each module in the system must
have a unique logical address.
The factory default setting is 1100 0000
(192). If an GPIB command module will be controlling the E1437A module,
select an address that is a multiple of 8.
