Using the VT1433B

Synchronization in Multiple-mainframe Measurements

A TTL Trigger line between VT1433Bs making group measurements keeps all modules synchronized. This is an open-collector line where each module holds the one designated as the SYNC line low until the module is ready to advance to the next measurement state. Another TTL Trigger line is designated to carry the sample clock to all modules. This shared sample clock may come from any VT1433B module in Mainframe A or from an external signal routed through the Slot 0 Commander in Mainframe A.

One module is responsible for pulling the SYNC line low to start each group’s state transition. Then, each module holds the line low until it is ready. When all modules are ready, the SYNC line drifts high. The unidirectional line prevents modules in Mainframe B from holding-off modules in Mainframe A.

The lowest logical address must be in Mainframe A because of VXI-MXI and Resource Manager (RM) constraints. Group constraints with the VXIplug&play Library force modules in Mainframe A to have their FIFOs emptied last. The VXIplug&play reads data in channel order, so the highest channel is read last. To get this to work automatically, the call to hpe1432_init must list the logical addresses in descending order.

Channel triggering must be done only by modules in Mainframe A. A trigger in any other mainframe would not be communicated back on the SYNC line to Mainframe A. The VXIplug&play Library itself selects the VT1432A with the highest channel number for synchronization.

VXI-MXI Module Setup and System Configuration

The VXI-MXI Module setup in Mainframe A needs to be changed from those set by the factory. The VXI-MXI module is not the Slot 0 Controller for Mainframe A. See Table 2-1: Configuration Settings in the Agilent/HP E1482B VXI-MXI Bus Extender User’s Manual. This requires changing several switch settings.

Set the module as not being the Slot 0 Controller.

Set the VME timeout to 200 µs.

Set the VME BTO chain position to 1 extender, non-slot0.

Do not source CLK10.

Set the proper logical address.
