Setting the Interrupt Level
DAS-8 Series boards are shipped with interrupts disabled. If you want to
use interrupts, you must set an appropriate interrupt level using jumper
block J2.
Note:
DriverLINX modes specify preferred hardware data transfer
techniques: foreground or synchronous modes, background or
asynchronous modes. DriverLINX supports three modes with the
DAS-800 Series for its commands: polled mode, interrupt mode, and
other mode. Refer to the
DriverLINX Appendix F: Configuration and
Implementation Notes for Keithley DAS-8
manual.
If you intend to acquire data in the background, you must enable
interrupts by setting an interrupt level.
Jumper block J2 contains seven pairs of jumper posts, labeled 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, and X (disabled). You set the interrupt level by placing the supplied
jumper clip over the appropriate posts. Note that you can set only one
interrupt level at a time.
Figure 3-7 illustrates the setting for interrupt level 5; the jumper clip is
over the posts labeled 5.
