Registers

The S16A SBus 16-bit Dual Analog Interface is configured and controlled with 8-bit and 32-bit SBus registers. Eleven additional internal registers in the Analog Input Module are accessed indirectly through the SBus registers using a simple protocol. Applications access S16A registers through library calls or ioctl calls with S16A-specific parameters, as described in the s16a.h header file.

NOTE: All registers initialized and manipulated by the S16A driver. User applications do not ordinarily need to read or write these registers.

In addition, the S16A provides a standard SBus configuration ROM at the beginning of its block of addresses. Thus the S16A answers with valid data for the first 64 KBytes, in addition to the SBus registers.
