Multiply dB value by 100 to get integer decimal

VXI Technology, Inc.

6Ch

Command Name

Power Down Motor

Command Format

6Ch

Description

This command functions the same as 35h and 43h.

			80h

	Command Name	Set Attenuation

	Command Format	80h HIGH_BYTE LOW_BYTE

	Description	The Set Attenuation command sets the attenuation value using a 2-byte (16-bit)
		format.

	Example	The following example translates a decimal attenuation value (dB) into the
		HIGH_BYTE-LOW_BYTE command input format:
		1.	100 x 34.39 = 3439	Multiply dB value by 100 to get integer decimal
				value.
		2.	3439 = 0D6Fh	Convert integer decimal to hexadecimal.
		3.	HIGH_BYTE = 0Dh	Convert to HIGH_BYTE and LOW_BYTE
			LOW_BYTE = 6Fh	format.

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 SETConvert decimal step number to hexadecimal Convert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE formatHIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value to hexadecimal valuePage Multiply dB value by 100 to get integer decimal Convert integer decimal to hexadecimalConvert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE formatConvert hexadecimal value to an integer decimal valueDivide by 100 to convert to dB value HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value todecimal value for wavelength nm HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value tohexadecimal value Convert hexadecimal value to an integerConvert to calibration temperature Convert the HIGHBYTE to get the monthConvert the MIDBYTE to get the day Convert the LOWBYTE and add 1900 to getConvert the HIGHBYTE into the major revision numberConvert the LOWBYTE into the minor revision Put the major and minor numbers together toMultiply by 100 to convert decimal attenuation value to an integerCovert integer to hexadecimal Concatenate HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTEhard coded at the factory with the optical modules default used in the command.
