GPIB
General Purpose Interface Bus. The industry standard
IEEE-488 bus.
GPIB-VXI local command set
Consists of commands and queries.
Logical address
An 8-bit number that uniquely identifies each VXIbus
device in a system. It defines a device's A16 register
address and indicates commander/servant relationships.
Message-Based device
An intelligent device that implements the defined VXIbus
registers and communication protocols.
MODID lines
VXI backplane signals used by the Resource Manager
(through the use of the Slot 0 device) in order to perform
slot associations for logical addresses. There are 13
MODID lines, one for each slot in a full-size mainframe.
Module
Typically consists of a board assembly and its associated
mechanical parts, front panel, optional shields, and so on.
A module contains everything required to occupy a slot in a
mainframe. A module can occupy one or more slots.
Nonvolatile configuration mode
Mode in which you can edit the contents of the nonvolatile
EEPROM memory.
NV Nonvolatile
memory.
Peek
To read the contents.
PH Programmable
Handlers.
Poke
To write a value.
pROBE
A low-level interactive debugger for use with the pSOS
operating system. It is commercially available from
Software Components Group, Inc. VXI pROBE is an
enhanced version of pROBE supplied on developmental
versions of the GPIB-VXI.
Program mode response
Has a terse data-only format that is intended for a control
program to read and parse.
pSOS
A small, multitasking operating system kernel used on the
GPIB-VXI. It is commercially available from Software
Components Group, Inc.
Query
Similar to a command in that it also causes the GPIB-VXI
to take some action, but it always returns a response
containing data or other information.
