Configuring the Address Jumpers on the DMC-1700

The DMC-1700 address, N, is selectable by setting the address jumpers labeled A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7 and A8 where each jumper represents a digit of the binary number that is equivalent to N minus

512.Jumper A2 represents the 22 digit (the 3rd binary digit from the right), jumper A3 represents the 23 digit (the 4th binary digit from the right) and so on up to the most significant digit, which is represented by jumper A8. The 2 least significant (rightmost) digits are not represented. A location with a jumper placed on the board means the value of the digit represented by that jumper is 0. If the jumper is open, the digit is 1.

Because the least significant digit represented by the Address Jumpers is the 22 digit (jumper A2), only addresses divisible by 4 are configurable on the DMC-1700. The DMC-1700 can be configured for any 4th address between 512 and 1024. To configure an address you must do the following:

1.Select an address, N, between 512 and 1024, divisible by 4. Example: 516

2.Subtract 512 from N. Example: 516 – 512 = 4

3.Convert the resultant number into a 9-digit binary number being sure to represent all leading zeros. Using our example: Converting 4 to binary results in 100. As a 9-digit binary number, this is represented by 000000100.

4.Truncate the 2 least significant (rightmost) digits. Example: 0000001.

5.Set the jumpers as described above. Again, jumper at the location is represented by a 0, while no jumper at the location represents a 1.

To simplify this task, there is a complete list of jumper settings for the DMC-1700 found in the appendix in the section Setting Addresses for the DMC-1700.

Step 3. Install the Communications Software

Before installing the controller in the PC, Galil communications software terminal and drivers should be loaded. Installing the Galil software prior to installing the card will allow most operating system to automatically install the DMC-1800 (PCI) controller into both the Windows and Galil registries.

Using Win98SE, ME, NT4.0, 2000, and XP
