3.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 GENERAL
The VX462B is configured, controlled, and statused through on-board regist ers accessible
through the VXI backplane. These registers control the mode of operation, pulse repetition
interval, pulse widt h, delay time , output amplitude and an output relay. A simplified block
diagram of the module is shown in Figure 2.

3.2 SWITCHES AND JUMPERS
The following switches are used to
configure the VX462B. Refer t o
Figure 3 for t he switch and jumper
locatio ns.
LOGICAL ADDRES S An 8-bit
logical addr ess switch is provided
to uniquely identify the module in
the system. Refer to Section 4 for
switch definition.
OUTPUT IMPEDANCE The
VX462B can be co nfigured with a
50 Ohm or a 2 Ohm output
impedance . Insta ll a jumper in J5
only for 2 Ohms, and J6 only for
50 Ohm series output impedance.
