Register-Based Programming 45
Appendix B
CAUTION Registers have been documented as 8-bit by tes. If you access them using
16-bit transfers from a Motorola CPU, the high and low byte will be
swapped. The E1406 uses Motorola CPUs. Motorola CPUs place the
highest weighted byte in the lower memory loc ation and the lower weighted
byte in the higher memory address while Intel processors do just the
opposite. VXI registers are memory-mapped. Thus, you will see this
Motorola/Intel byte swap difference when doing register programming.
ManufacturerIdentificationRegister
The Manufacturer Identification Register is a read-only register at address
00h(Most Significant Byte (MSB)) and 01h(Le astSignificant Byte (LSB)).
Reading this register returns the Hewle tt-Packard identification, FFFFh.
DeviceIdentificationRegister
The Device Identification Register is a read-only register accessed at
address 02h. Reading this register returns the module identification of 581
(245h).
Status/Control
Register The Card Status/Control Register is a read/write register accessed at
address 04h. You read the Status Register and write to the Control Register.

SR (soft Reset): 0 = not in reset,1 = held in reset state.
IEN: Main interrupt enable. Bitis set to 0 when interrupts are enabled; 1when interrupts are disabled.
BSY: Bitis set to 0 when module is busy - relays are settling. Bit is set to 1 if the module is notbusy.
CDI0 and CDI1: When set to 0, indicatesthe relay assemblies are connected to the driver assembly.CDI0 is the right
hand relay assembly,CDI1 is the left hand assembly. Ifeither bit is set to a 1, the respective relay assembly is not
installed.
