Configuring the VXI/VMEpc 600 Series
This section describes how to configure the following options on the
VXI/VMEpc 600 Series:
•
VXI/VMEbus System Controller/Non-System Controller
•
VXIbus CLK10 routing (VXIpc only)
•
Trigger input termination (VXIpc only)
•
MITE EEPROM
VXI/VMEbus System Controller/Non-System Controller
The VXI/VMEpc 600 Series is configured at the factory to automatically
detect if it is installed in Slot 0 of a VXIbus mainframe (or Slot 1 in a
VMEbus chassis). With automatic System Controller slot detection, you
can install the module into any VXI/VMEbus slot.
You can manually configure the VXI/VMEpc 600 Series for either
System Controller or Non-System Controller operation by defeating the
automatic-detection circuitry. Use the three-position jumper W11 to select
automatic detection, System Controller, or Non-System Controller
operation. Figure 3-4 shows these three settings.
Caution
Do not install a device configured for System Controller into another slot without
first reconfiguring it to either Non-System Controller or automatic-detection
configuration. Neglecting to do this could result in damage to the device, the
VXI/VMEbus backplane, or both.
