D/S Status, BIT Test
Check the corresponding bit of the
D/S BIT Test Status
Register for status of BIT (Test-Accuracy) Testing for
each
“active” channel. A ”1” means Accuracy Failed; “0” means Accuracy OK. Channels that are “inactive” are
also set to “0”. The status bits will be set to indicate an accuracy (0.2º) problem and the results can be read from
D/S Status Registers within 2 seconds and, if enabled, an interrupt will be generated (See Interrupt Register).
This test continuously sequences between the channels on the card with each output being measured for
approximately 180mSec. If the measured angle has an error greater the 0.2º, a flag will be set in the appropriate
register. If the input angle is stepped more than 0.2º during a test cycle, the test cycle will not generally indicate
an error.
D/S channels, by default, are set for monitoring the channel background BIT (Built-In-
Test) status reporting; “ON”
or “ACTIVE”. The front panel BIT LED illuminates (Red) if any channel reports a BIT fault. For BIT status to work
properly on an “active” channel, the D/S channel must have a valid Reference source applied and the D/S
channel power set to “ON” (so there is a valid signal being generated). If channels are not being used, it is
recommended that the channel BIT status report be turned off (or set INACTIVE). However, it should be noted
that the channel BIT status register latches the contents of a failure until read. Simply setting the channel
“INACTIVE” will not clear the BIT status register or extinguish the front panel BIT fault LED if a fault was
previously detected.
The
D/S BIT Test Status
register should be queried (read) to insure the register is unlatched which will enable the
BIT status register to be re-written during next status update (which, when the channel is set INACTIVE, should
clear the fault). Once this is done, the front panel BIT LED will extinguish
– as long as the channels that are active
are working properly and the channels not being utilized are set INACTIVE.
Note:
When
D/S Wrap Select External/Internal
register is set for “external”, the BIT wrap will be read from the
external amplifier wrap input signals (See pin-out). Also, the BIT tolerance will be adjusted for the amplifier
accuracy specification.

Test (D2) Verify
Card will write 55h at Test (D2) Verify register when (D2) is enabled, approximately every (1) second. User can
clear to 00h and then read again, after approximately (1) second, to verify that background bit testing is activated.
D/S Ratio 1/2
Utilized for automatically simulating dual speed synchro/resolver. Only applies to dual channel module. Set
desired ratio between coarse (channel 1) and fine (channel 2) channels. Enter the desired ratio, as an integer
number, in the
D/S Ratio
1/2
register corresponding to the pair of channels to be used as a two-speed channel.
Example
: Single speed = 1; 36:1 = integer 36. (Ratio range from 1 to 255). By entering a ratio in the D/S Ratio
1/2 register, the fine channel (channel 2) will automatically output a signal proportional to the programmed coarse
channel times the ratio programmed.
D/S Output Mode
The
D/S Output Mode
register is utilized for selecting either ratio-metric or absolute (fixed) mode voltages. Ratio-
metric Mode, when selected, will cause the output signal voltage of the channel to vary with the input Reference
Voltage. Fixed Mode, when selected, will cause the output signal voltage of the channel NOT to vary with the
input Reference Voltage. Set corresponding channel bit to “0” for Ratio-metric Mode. Set corresponding channel
bit to “1” for Fixed Mode.
