VXIbus Slot Configuration
When the VXI-8340 series is installed in Slot 0, it becomes the VXIbus
System Controller. In this role, it has VXIbus Data Transfer Bus Arbiter
circuitry that accepts bus requests on all four VXIbus request levels,
prioritizes the requests, and grants the bus to the highest priority requester.
As VXIbus System Controller, the VXI-8340 series also uses an onboard
16 MHz oscillator to drive the 16 MHz VXIbus system clock.
As required by the VXIbus specification, the VXI-8340 series drives the
10 MHz signal CLK10 on a differential ECL output when installed in
Slot 0. When not installed in Slot 0, the VXI-8340 series only receives the
CLK10 signal.
