Step 4
If you use a PCIe connection, power up the OP5607
you power up the simulator. Failure to do so will prevent the simulator from detecting the
before
OP5607 FGPA during boot.
If you use an SFP connection in a MuSE setup, powering up the OP5607 before the simulator is not mandatory, but it must be powered up before loading
the real-time simulation.
Testing I/O Signals
Before using your OP5607, we recommend running the RT-LAB or HYPERSIM integration model delivered with your system. If the I/O configuration is
symmetrical (same type and the number of inputs and outputs), it is good practice to test I/O channels using the loopback board provided with the
integration kit, which lets you read any feedback from outputs to inputs.
Connecting the I/O Loopback Kit
Note: The following procedure is only used for test purposes when no external source is available.
The loopback kit included in the starter kit allows users to test system signals. The connection is made easy with a custom flat cable that matches OPAL-
RT standard DB37 pin assignments.
Connect one end of the flat cable to the loopback board
Connect the loopback board to the simulator DB37 Output signal
Connect the other end (DB37 connector) of the flat cable to the simulator DB37 Input signal
Connect the VUser (required to preserve isolation) from the loopback board to the OP5700
