4.INTERRUPTS
4.1 Standard and High Priority Interrupts
The DTI-VME/S allows MIL-STD-1553B events to be defined as high priority interrupt,
standard priority interrupt, or no interrupt. The main difference between standard interrupts
and high priority interrupts is the method by which they are serviced. High priority
interrupts are recorded in the registers and generally handled upon occurrence. Standard
priority interrupts are queued to a log (Figure 4-1).
Event is queued in
FIFO format to
standard priority
interrupt queue.
Information on each
event, including
Time Tag, is kept.
Event Occurs
Is event specified as a
standard priority event
via the standard
priority register?
Is event specified as a
high priority event via
the HP interrupt
register?
Are standard
priority events
enabled via bit 0 of
the HP enable
register?
YES
YES
YES
NO
NO
NO
Hp status register is
enabled via a particular
bit for the particular
event.
Host is
notified
Is the event a bus
message error?
Host handles
the event as
application.
Host halts
system until
event is
serviced
Figure 4-1. The Interrupt Process
Once interrupted, you have the option of reading the interrupt from a queue. By setting Bit 0
of the High Priority Interrupt Register (Register 07), the host is notified each time a standard
priority interrupt occurs. If Bit 0 is not set, the events are queued to the log but the host is
not notified.
The standard priority interrupt queue can store up to 255 entries (or messages). The number
of standard priority interrupts queued is continuously counted and reflected in the Interrupt
Counter (Register 19). This register allows applications to quickly assess the level of
standard priority interrupts queued.
