Appendix E: Performance Verification
A–20 VX4801 Programmable Digital I/O Module
NOTE. Commands to the VX4801 may be entered in upper or lower case.
However, to avoid confusion between the alphanumeric characters; e.g. one (1)
and L or zero( 0) and o, all commands are shown in the case which provides the
greatest distinction. Use special care when interpreting these characters.
PrerequisitesThe verification sequences in this procedure are valid when the following
requirements are met:
HThe VX4801 module covers are in place and the module is installed in an
approved VXIbus mainframe as described in Section 2 of the Operating
Manual
HThe VX4801 has passed the power-on self test
HThe VX4801 is operating in an ambient environment as specified in
Section 1 of the Operating Manual for a warm–up period of at least 10
minutes
Equipment RequiredThis Procedure uses traceable signal sources and measurement instruments.
Table 1 lists the required equipment. You may use equipment other than the
recommended examples if it meets the minimum requirements.
