		30h

Command Name	Move to Absolute Step

Command Format	30h HIGH_BYTE LOW_BYTE

Description	The Move to Absolute Step command sets the position of the stepper motor. The valid
	range is 0 - 3200, written in a 2-byte (16-bit) format.

Example	The following example converts a integer decimal step to a HIGH_BYTE-LOW_BYTE
	format:		Convert decimal step number to hexadecimal.
	1.	2485 = 0B1Dh	Convert decimal step number to hexadecimal.
	2.	HIGH_BYTE = 0Bh	Convert to HIGH_BYTE and LOW_BYTE format.
		LOW_BYTE = 1Dh

		31h

Command Name	Query Current Step

Command Format	31h

Description	The Query Current Step command returns the current location of the stepper motor as
	a 2-byte (16-bit) value.

Example	The following example shows how to translate the HIGH_BYTE-LOW_BYTE
	returned value into a integer decimal step number:
	1.	0Bh & 1Dh = 0B1Dh	HIGH_BYTE and LOW_BYTE value to
			hexadecimal value.
	2.	0B1Dh = 2845	Convert hexadecimal value to an integer decimal
			value.

Read and Write Relay Optical Module’s Data Attenuation LevelTYPICAL OPTICAL MULTI-SWITCH CONTROL EXAMPLE PROGRAMMING EXAMPLESRead TYPICAL OPTICAL ATTENUATOR CONTROL EXAMPLEWrite To operate the modules correctly, the SM8000 must be loaded with a valid Address in the Address Register. 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 COMMAND REGISTER BitsCOMMAND SET TABLE 4-2 ATTENUATOR COMMAND SETHIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value to Convert decimal step number to hexadecimalConvert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE format hexadecimal valuePage Convert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE Multiply dB value by 100 to get integer decimalConvert integer decimal to hexadecimal formatDivide by 100 to convert to dB value Convert hexadecimal value to an integerdecimal value HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value tohexadecimal value decimal value for wavelength nmHIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value to Convert hexadecimal value to an integerConvert the MIDBYTE to get the day Convert to calibration temperatureConvert the HIGHBYTE to get the month Convert the LOWBYTE and add 1900 to getConvert the LOWBYTE into the minor revision Convert the HIGHBYTE into the major revisionnumber Put the major and minor numbers together toCovert integer to hexadecimal Multiply by 100 to convert decimal attenuationvalue to an integer Concatenate HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTEthe default address that is used in the command string.
