To install the VT1433B
Caution
To protect circuits from static discharge, observe anti-static techniques whenever
handling the VT1433B 8-Channel 196 kSamples/s Digitizer plus DSP Module.
1
Set up the VXI mainframe. See the mainframe's installation guide for assistance.
2 Select a slot in the VXI mainframe for the VT1433B module.
The VT1433B module’s local bus receives ECL-level data from the module
immediately to its left and outputs ECL-level data to the module immediately to
its right. Every module using the local bus is keyed to prevent two modules
from fitting next to each other unless they are compatible. If using the local
bus, select adjacent slots immediately to the left of the data-receiving module.
The local bus can support up to four VT1433B modules at full span at real time
data rates. If the VXI Bus is used, maximum data rates will be reduced but the
module can be placed in any available slot.
3
Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, set the logical address configuration switch
on the VT1433B.
(See the illustration on the next page.) Each module in the system must have a
unique logical address. The factory default setting is 0000 1000 (8). If an
GPIB command module will be controlling the VT1433B module, select an
address that is a multiple of 8. If the VXI system dynamically configures logical
addresses, set the switch to 255.
