Figure C-4. DMA Channel Jumper Setting
If you do not want to use DMA for GPIB transfers (the AT-GPIB
alternatively can use programmed I/O GPIB transfers), you can logically
disconnect the AT-GPIB from the DMA lines by selecting NONE for the
DMA channel of the AT-GPIB when you run
ibconf
(refer to Chapter 3
for information on running
ibconf
). By using this programmable method,
the board can remain installed in the backplane and no jumpers have to be
moved or changed.
