Discrete Fault Indicator Configuration
Address Modifier Configuration
By setting onboard switches, you can have the GPIB-VXI/C specify the
state of the VXIbus Address Modifiers during a VXI master access. During
A16 accesses, the lines AM5, AM4, and AM3 are needed high, low, and
high, respectively, and AM1 is needed low. During A24 accesses, the lines
AM5, AM4, and AM3 are all needed high. The GPIB-VXI/C drives the
upper three address modifier lines appropriately for every access. You
should configure the GPIB-VXI/C to drive the lower three address modifier
lines as needed.
