INSTALLATION AND SETUP
2.0 VME/VXI COMPATIBILITY SWITCHES
The TFP is designed for both VMEbus and VXIbus compatibility. Switches SW2-3 and SW2-4
are used to select the bus protocol. To select VXIbus compatibility set SW2-3 and SW2-4 to the
OPEN
or OFF
position. To select VMEbus compatibility set SW2-3 and SW2-4 to the CLOSED
or ON position.

Figure 2-1 Address Switches
Switch SW2-3 controls the register block addressing within the A16 address space. With this
switch in the VXI position, address bits A14 and A15 must be one for A16 selection. Switch
SW1 is then used to select the logical address for the module. With SW2-3 in the VME position,
the module can be mapped to any 64 byte block in the A16 address space. SW2-1 and SW2-2
set the A14 and A15 address bits, and SW1 is used to set the A13 through A6 address bits.
Switch SW2-4 controls the status/ID byte returned during interrupt acknowledge cycles. With
SW2-4 in the VXI position, the Status/ID byte returned during interrupt acknowledge cycles is
the logical address set with SW1. When SW2-4 is in the VME position, the Status/ID byte
returned during interrupt acknowledge cycles is the user programmable vector loaded into the
VECTOR register (discussed in Chapter Three).
