Hardware Configuration
Once the VM32PAFF VMEbus board has been removed from its anti-static bag and carefully inspected for
damage, you are ready to configure the board's base address for your particular system. Communication
to all amplifier/filter modules is done through three registers whose Base Address can be set throughout all
of A16 space. A VM32PAFF board occupies a 64-byte block in A16 address space and may be configured
on any 64-byte boundary. The user will need to set a Base Address that is appropiate for the VME system
in which the VM32PAFF will be installed. The Base Address is the only hardware configuration on the
VM32PAFF board. The factory set Base Address is 2000(hex). Before attempting to use the board, the
user should set/verify the base address using the address jumper JP1 on the board.
CAUTION:
The VM32PAFF Board is sensitive to STATIC ELECTRICITY.
Use proper GROUNDING TECHNIQUES
when handling the board.
To reconfigure the VM32PAFF Base Address, lay the board flat as shown in
Figure 4-1
. The ten position
jumper block shown in
Figure 4-1
is used to set the board's base address in A16 address space. The ten
jumper positions correspond to address lines A15 through A06. Jumper position 06 corresponds to
address line A06, jumper position 07 corresponds to A07, etc. An installed jumper sets a logic '1' while a
missing jumper sets a logic '0'. For example, to set the VM32PAFF Base Adresss to 800(hex), install a
jumper on position 11 which corresponds to A11.
After the board's base address has been configured, the VM32PAFF is ready for installation in a VME
system.
