Computer

The A16 base address used in register-based programming depends on whether the A16 address space is located inside the E1405/06 Command Module or elsewhere (e.g. embedded computer). Figures C-1A, C-1B, and Table C-1 enable you to determine the base address for the following computer configurations:

•Embedded Controller (V/360)

•Agilent E1405/06 Command Module Instrument BASIC (IBASIC)

•External Computer over GPIB to Command Module (E1405/06)

Table C-1. Computer Configurations used with the E1446A

Computer	Programming Method			Base Address


Agilent E1480 V/360 Embedded	READIO (-16,Base_addr + offset)		Base_addr = C00016 + (LADDR *64)16
Computer	WRITEIO -16,Base_addr + offset;data		or
				= 49,152 + (LADDR * 64)

	(positive select code =	byte read or write	offset =	register offset (Figure C-1B)
	negative select code =	word read or write)

E1405/06 IBASIC
(Absolute Addressing)	READIO (-9826,Base_addr + offset)		Base_addr = 1FC00016 + (LADDR * 64)16

	WRITEIO -9826,Base_addr + offset;data		or	= 2,080,768 + (LADDR * 64)

	(positive select code =	byte read or write	offset =	register offset (Figure C-1A)
	negative select code =	word read or write)
	READIO (8,Base_addr + reg number)		Base_addr = LADDR * 256
(Select Code 8)	WRITEIO 8,Base_addr + reg number;data		reg number = offset (Figure C-1A)/2



External Computer	VXI:READ? logical_address,offset		Amplifier logical address setting (LADDR)
(over GPIB to E1405/06 Command	VXI:WRITE logical_address,offset,data		offset =	register offset (Figure C-1A)

Module)
	DIAG:PEEK? Base_addr + offset,width		Base_addr = 1FC00016 + (LADDR * 64)16
	DIAG:POKE Base_addr + offset,width,data		or	= 2,080,768 + (LADDR * 64)

			offset =	register offset (Figure C-1A)

LADDR : Amplifier logical address.

(LADDR * 64)16: multiply quantity, then convert to a hexadecimal number (e.g. 88 * 64)16 = 160016. When using DIAG:PEEK? and DIAG:POKE, the width (number of bits) is 8 or 16.
