during the interrupt acknowledge cycle. The 8-bit vector address is loaded at CSR6 -
Memory, and CSR7 - Error. If Interrupt-on-Error is not used, CSR7 must contain the
same vector as CSR6.
2.6 P1 Connector
The SCRAMNet
+
VME3U card’s P1 backplane connector is in accordance with the
VMEbus specifications.
2.7 Utility Software
2.7.1 SCRAMNet Diagnostics
The SCRAMNet Network Hardware Diagnostics are designed to test the functionality of
the hardware. This suite of tests will detect whether it is testing a SCRAMNet Classic
board or a SCRAMNet-LX/SCRAMNet
+
board and adjust the test menus accordingly.
2.7.2 EEPROM Initialization (EPI)
The EEPROM Initialization program is a SCRAMNet
+
utility used to simplify
configuration of the network node. The EPI program will store a start-up configuration in
the serial EEPROM which can initialize the node on power up. This initialization
program can be run when the board is installed to set the desired power-up state of the
SCRAMNet
+
node. EPI is completely menu driven and contains a context-sensitive help
feature.
2.7.3 SCRAMNet Monitor
The SCRAMNet Monitor allows viewing and editing of memory and CSR locations on
the SCRAMNet node. This utility is useful during software development to verify that
the correct values are being written to SCRAMNet memory and CSRs.
