Configuring The Instrument 2-3
Long Term Storage
or Repackaging For
Shipment
If the instrument is to be stored for a long period of time or shipped
immediately, proceed as directed below. If you have any questions,
contact your local Racal Instruments Representative or the Racal
Instruments Customer Service Department.
1.
Repack the instrument using the wrappings, packing material and
accessories originally shipped with the unit. If the original
container is not available, purchase replacement materials.
2.
Be sure the carton is well sealed with strong tape or metal straps.
3.
Mark the carton with the model and serial number. If it is to be
shipped, show sending and return address on two sides of the
box.
NOTE
If the instrument is to be shipped to Racal Instruments for
calibration or repair, attach a tag to the instrument
identifying the owner. Note the problem, symptoms, and
service or repair desired. Record the model and serial
number of the instrument. Show the work authorization
order as well as the date and method of shipment. ALWAYS
OBTAIN A RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER FROM THE
FACTORY BEFORE SHIPPING THE INSTRUMENT TO RACAL
INSTRUMENTS.
Preparation For Use
Preparation for use includes removing the Model instrument from the
container box, selecting the required logical address and installing the
module in a VXIbus chassis.
Logical Address
Selection
The VXIbus Resource Manager identifies modules in the system by the
module’s address. VXIbus logical addresses can range from 0 to 255,
however, addresses 1 to 254
only
are reserved for VXIbus modules.
Logical address 0 is reserved for the Resource Manager. Logical
address 255 permits the Resource Manager to dynamically configure
the module logical address.
To change the logical address, use the 8-position DIP switch accessible
from the top right side of the module near the rear end of the case
(switch S1). The switches are marked with numbers 1 to 8. The Model
3153 uses binary values (2
0
to 2
7
) to set the logical address using the
active low address switch. A switch is active when its arm is placed in the
ON position.
Racal Instruments ships the Model 3153 with the logical address set to
2.
