SM8001 / SM8002 - MULTI-CHANNELSWITCHES

The SM8001 and SM8002 base units house the 1xN and 2xN multi-channel switches. They each hold up to four optical switch modules. Each switch module can be either a 1xN (where N ranges from 1 to 32) or a 2xN (where N ranges from 2 to 30). The SM8001 is a single-slot base unit, or platform, while the SM8002 is a double-slot base unit.

Configurations

The following configurations are available for the SM8001 and SM8002:

SM8001 and SM8002 - Multi-channel Switches:	1 x N
	Duplex 1 x N
	2 x N Blocking
	2 x N Non-Blocking

The total number of available connectors per base unit is:

SM8001 Single-Slot, Multi-channel Base Unit:	12 ST connectors
	16 SC connectors
	12 FC connectors
SM8002 Double-slot, Multi-channel Base Unit:	24 ST connectors
	32 SC connectors
	24 FC connectors

The SM8000 is hard coded at the factory with the optical modules default address of 73 = 49h, and may be used to generate the address used in the command. This is the address of all attenuators as shipped from the factory. During the programming of the optical module, the programmer may wish to omit sending the module’s address over the VXI Bus, letting the SM8000 generate the default address that is used in the command string. This could possibly increase throughput, by decreasing VXI Bus traffic, if the modules are receiving many commands, although this is only true if the optical module’s address is not changed by the user. If the address is to be changed, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE NEW ADDRESS BE WRITTEN DOWN. Failure to do so will result in an inability to control the module. All four possible modules may have the same address. The SM8000 controls them on separate internal busses Bits COMMAND REGISTERTABLE 4-2 ATTENUATOR COMMAND SET COMMAND SEThexadecimal value Convert decimal step number to hexadecimalConvert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE format HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value toPage format Multiply dB value by 100 to get integer decimalConvert integer decimal to hexadecimal Convert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTEHIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value to Convert hexadecimal value to an integerdecimal value Divide by 100 to convert to dB valueConvert hexadecimal value to an integer decimal value for wavelength nmHIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value to hexadecimal valueConvert the LOWBYTE and add 1900 to get Convert to calibration temperatureConvert the HIGHBYTE to get the month Convert the MIDBYTE to get the dayPut the major and minor numbers together to Convert the HIGHBYTE into the major revisionnumber Convert the LOWBYTE into the minor revisionConcatenate HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE Multiply by 100 to convert decimal attenuationvalue to an integer Covert integer to hexadecimaltraffic, if the modules are receiving many commands.
