Logical Index. The programmable devices are given a logical index starting with
1 so that multiple devices of the same type can be distinguished in software.
This is the number in the device name after the underscore. The logical
number displayed to the right of the device. When multiple devices are
connected, this number reflects the order of the connections between chassis.
Statistics. When the Show Statistics box is checked, the amount of data
transferred from the TDT modules to the PC and from the PC to the TDT
modules and error status is displayed. If you see an error value other than 0,
click Hardware Reset! to reset all connected hardware.
Test. A Transfer Test can be used to test data transfer both to and from the PC.
To perform a transfer test:
1. Ensure the
Show Statistics
check box is selected.
2. Click the
Transfer Test
button in zBUSmon.
If successful, you should see a test passed message. The amount of
data transferred to and from the PC will be displayed with no errors.
Now that the WS and your new processor(s) are setup and functioning, you can
connect the rest of the system components; such as preamplifiers, video
trackers, and data streamers. Connection information for these devices may be
found in two places: the corresponding section of the System 3 Manual or the
corresponding
Fast Facts
sheets with your system.
