Board Information (15H)

Board Information (15H)

Command

Format

This command returns a special Board Information Data Structure (in addition to the normal status block), that provides information about the current configuration of the RF3880 adapter. The structure, returned at the address you specify in the Board Information command Parameter Block, includes information about the options set with the General Options and Unit Options commands as well as the configuration set in the hardware. It can be used as a snapshot of the board set-up. Additionally, the same information received from the Identify command is included in the structure returned.

This command can be issued with either a Single Command structure or in a Command List.

The Parameter Block for the Board Information command has this format:

Address			Byte Memory Address
Offset	Offset + 0		Offset + 1		Offset + 2	Offset + 3
	Offset + 0		Offset + 1		Offset + 2	Offset + 3

00H			Command Identifier

04H	Reserved				Addr. Mod.	Adapter ID = FFH

08H			VME Memory Address

0CH				Reserved
10H	Command = 15H		Options		Reserved
