Logical Address
Selection
The VXIbus Chassis Resource Manager identifies modules in
the system by the module’s address. VXIbus logical addresses
can range from 0 to 255, however, only addresses 1 to 254 are
available for VXIbus modules. Logical address 0 is reserved for
the Resource Manager. Logical address 255 permits the
Resource Manager to dynamically configure the module logical
address.
To change the Model 3152A’s logical address, use the 8-position
DIP switch accessible from the top side of the module near the
rear end of the case (switch S1). Figure 2-1 shows the location
of the logical address switch. The switches are marked with
numbers 1 to 8. The Model 3152A uses binary values (2
0
to 2
7
)
to set the logical address using the active low address switch. A
switch is active when its arm is placed in the ON position.
Racal Instruments ships the Model 3152A with logical address 2.
Emulation Mode
Selection
The 3152A Synthesizer has numerous enhancements over the
older Model 3152 and 3152-S-1619. For those customers
wishing to use the 3152A as a direct replacement for the 3152 or
3152-S-1619, the 3152A has an emulation mode capability.. In
this mode of operation, the 3152A will identify itself as a 3152 or
3152-S-1619 and act exactly like the selected model.
NOTE
When using the 3152A in 3152 emulation mode, the
3152 Software Driver must be used. This driver is
available on the Racal Instruments web site
http://www.racalinstruments.com software Drivers
download area.
The module is shipped from the factory in 3152A Mode. To put
the module in 3152 or 3152-S-1619 emulation mode, simply flip
the appropriate position of the Instrument ID switch. This switch
is accessed through the left side panel of the module. Setting
the switch to the ON position entails moving the switch towards
the front panel. This is shown in
Figure 2-2
Address Space
Selection
The 3152A Synthesizer may operate in either A24 or A32
Address Space modes. The module is shipped from the factory
in A24 mode. To set the module to A32 mode set the switch to
the ON position by moving the switch towards the front panel.
This is shown in
