Service Manual

Data Terminal Ready (DTR) is a modem control signal controlled by the Microprocessor. When the instrument is powered up, the Microprocessor port pin (A1U4-32) goes high, which results in the RS-232 driver output (A1U25-7) going to - 5.0V dc. When the instrument has initialized the SCI and is ready to receive and transmit, A1U4-32 will go low, resulting in the RS-232 DTR signal (A1U25-7) going to +5.0V dc. The RS-232 DTR signal remains at +5.0V dc until the instrument is powered down.

2-42. Option Interface

The interconnection to the option slot is implemented by J1 on the Main PCA. This connector (A1J1) routes the outguard logic power supply (VCC and GND), the eight-bit data bus, RD*, WR*, E, RESET*, IEEE*, MEM*, and the lower three bits of the address bus to the option installed in the option slot. This connector also routes an interrupt signal from the IEEE-488 option to the IRQ2* input of the Microprocessor.

An option sense signal from the installed option allows the Microprocessor to identify the type of option. When the instrument is powered up, the type of PCA installed in the option slot is determined by the Microprocessor by driving the IRQ2* signal (A1U4-20) and sensing the activity on the OPS* signal (A1U4-29). The Microprocessor first sets IRQ2* low and samples the OPS* input, then sets IRQ2* high and samples the OPS* input again. Table 2-2 describes how this information is used to determine what hardware is installed in the option slot.
