VX4380 256-Crosspoint Relay Matrix Module User Manual 1–7

Configuration

The following switches must be correctly set to ensure proper operation. Refer to

Figure 1–3 for their physical locations.

Each functional module in a VXIbus System must be assigned a unique logical

address, from 1 to decimal 255 (hexadecimal FF). The base VMEbus address of

the VX4380 is set to a value between 1 and hexadecimal FF (FF16) by two

hexadecimal rotary switches. Align the desired switch position with the arrow on

the module shield.

The physical address of the instrument is on a 64 byte boundary. If the Logical

Address switch representing the most significant digit (LA-HI) of the logical

address is set to position X and the switch representing the least significant digit

(LA-LO) of the logical address is set to position Y, then the base physical

address of the VX4380 will be [(4016 × XY16) + C00016]. For example:

Base Physical Address

L.A. HI LO decimal hex

A16 016 A16 (64 * 10) + 49152 = 49792 (4016 * A16) + C00016 = C28016

1516 116 516 (64 * 21) + 49152 = 50496 (4016 * 1516) + C00016 = C54016

LA. is the Logical Address

In order to use and program the VX4380 Module in an IEEE-488 environment

you must know the IEEE-488 address of the module. Different manufacturers of

IEEE-488 interface devices might have different algorithms for equating a

logical address with an IEEE-488 address. Consult the operating manual of the

IEEE-488 Interface Module being used.

Each function module in a VXIbus System can generate an interrupt at a

specified level on the VMEbus to request service from the interrupt handler

located on its commander. Set the interrupt level to the same level as the

interrupt handler on that commander. The VMEbus interrupt level on which the

VX4380 Module generates interrupts is set by a rotary switch. Align the desired

switch position with the arrow on the module shield.

Valid VMEbus Interrupt Level Select switch settings are one through seven, with

setting one equivalent to level one, and so on. The level chosen should be the

same as the level set on the VX4380 interrupt handler, typically the module

commander. Setting the switch to zero or eight will disable the module inter-

rupts. Do not use switch settings nine through f.
