Channel Control Register

VMEbus Address: Base Address + 07 (hex)

Attributes: Read/Write, Internal to DMAC

STR CNT HLT SAB EINT 0 0 0 R/W

This register is used to control the operation of the channel. By writing to this register, a channel

operation can be started and set to be continued, halted, and aborted. Also, the channel can be

enabled to issue interrupts when an operation is terminated (normal or error termination). Setting

the STR bit causes immediate activation of the channel; the channel will be ready to accept

requests immediately. The STR and CNT bits of the register cannot be reset by a write to the

register. The software abort bit (SAB) can be used to terminate the operation. Setting the SAB

resets the STR and CNT. Setting the HLT bit halts the channel and resetting the HLT bit

resumes the operation.

Bit Mnemonic Description

7r/w STR Start Bit

The Start bit is used to start the operation of the channel.

0 = No operation is pending

1 = Start operation

6r/w CNT Continue Bit

The Continue bit is used to select the continue option. This bit must be

set when the channel is active or at the same time you set the STR bit.

Generally, this is not used for GPIB-1014 GPIB transfers.

0 = No continuation is pending

1 = Continue operation

5r/w HLT Halt Bit

The Halt bit is used to temporarily halt channel operation.

0 = Operation not halted

1 = Operation halted

4r/w SAB Software Abort Bit

The Software Abort bit is used to abort channel operation.
