40 System 3 Installation Guide
hardware diagram will not show most non-programmable devices, such as the
HB7 or SM5, however, non-programmable devices that require a connection to
the PC, such as the RA8GA and HTI3, will appear as an empty zBus chassis.
The microcode version of each processor device is shown in parentheses after
the device type and index. If you have an RZ device in your configuration the
number of DSPs installed on that RZ device will also be displayed.
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 of the
zBus chassis, displayed to the right of the chassis, reflects the order of the
connections between chassis.
If you installed the drivers that came with your system, then your devices were
preprogrammed with the correct microcode. The device name of any device
programmed with outdated microcode will appear in red in the diagram.
The microcode running on each processor should match the driver version
number. If you update your TDT drivers in the future, you must also manually
update the microcode for each of your real-time processors. See Updating Your
System on page 25 for more information.
When the Show Version check box is selected, the microcode version of the
interface and of each programmable device is displayed.
Note that the interface version number (v10 or v15) is fixed and cannot be
changed by the user. The microcode on the PA5 programmable attenuators
(v30) is also fixed.
When the Show Statistics box is checked, the amount of data transferred from
the TDT System 3 modules to the PC and from the PC to the TDT System 3
modules and error status is displayed. If you see an error value other than 0,
click Hardware Reset! to reset all connected hardware.
A Transfer Test can be used to test data transfer both to and from the PC.
