Overview Safety Symbols Used in This Manual STOP: This symbol informs the operator the that a practice or procedure should not be performed. Actions could result in injury or death to personnel, or could result in damage to or destruction of part or all of the system. WARNING: This sign denotes a hazard.
Operational Overview Operational Overview The VMIVME-2533 consists of five primary sections as illustrated in Figure 1-1 below. These sections are described in more detail in the following sections. To perform an output data transfer, data is written into Output Data Registers (ODRs) which latch the data.

VMIVME-2533 Differential Digital Output Board Control and Status Register (CSR) The CSR controls the Test Mode (TM) Bits and the front panel Fail LED as shown in Figure 1-5 below. The TM bits enable the TRI-STATE outputs of four data latches and disables the output drivers to support Built-in-Test functions.
Built-In-Test Description Built-In-Test Description The VMIVME-2533 test logic provides for two different modes of testing: an off-line test mode and a on-line test mode. Jumper JB can be used to disable this feature. Jumper JB is provided to accommodate future software advancements, and should not be moved from the ground position in which it was shipped.
Jumper Configuration Jumper Configuration Figure 2-1 below shows the locations and factory configuration for the jumpers used on the VMIVME-2533. The following sections and figures give a detailed explanation of the use and set up of these jumpers. Jumper A is read by the use of four bits of the CSR (Table 3-1 on page 33). Jumper JA can be used by the user for automatic software system set-up/configuration.
VMIVME-2533 Differential Digital Ouput Board Address Modifiers The VMIVME-2533 Board is configured at the factory to respond to short nonprivileged I/O access, (jumper AM2 installed). This can be changed by installing the AM2 jumpers to fit the need. There are two AM2 jumpers, one is for the data register's base address (jumper JD) and the other is for the CSR (jumper JC).
Data Registers Base Address Data Registers Base Address The VMIVME-2533 Board occupies 4 bytes of the VMEbus short I/O address space. The base address of these bytes is configured by jumpers JD and JF. The factory sets up these headers to a base address of 0000 HEX, as shown in Figure 2-3 below. ADDRESS MODIFIER ADDRESS BIT 08 SELECTION JUMPERS...
VMIVME-2533 Differential Digital Ouput Board CSR Base Address The CSR of the VMIVME-2533 includes a byte for the board I.D. number. As such, the CSR occupies two bytes of the VMEbus short I/O address space. The CSR has its own set of address jumpers so the data and CSRs in a system can be stacked into separate but contiguous memory locations.
Although these connectors are generally used with flat-ribbon cables, a variety of cables and mating connectors are available for most user requirements. The user should refer to GE's Connector and I/O Cable Application Guide (GE's Document No. 825-000000-006) for additional information concerning the variety of possible cabling and connector types available.
VMIVME-2533 Differential Digital Ouput Board Data Output A data output operation is initiated when the CPU executes an instruction that sends a board address that causes selection of the board. When the CPU executes an instruction to store data, VMEbus control signals cause the board to store the output data as transferred from the VMEbus.
Data Loopback Data Loopback A data loopback operation, used for loopback testing, is initiated when the CPU executes an instruction that sends a board address that causes the selection of the board. When the CPU executes an instruction to read data, VMEbus control signals cause the board to place a data input word on the VMEbus for transfer to the computer.
VMIVME-2533 Differential Digital Ouput Board Control and Status Register (CSR) The CSR is a register that controls the Test Mode (TM) bits and the front panel Fail LED as shown in Figure 1-1 on page 16. Clearing both TM1 and TM2 disables the output differential line drivers but enables the internal data registers for off-line Built-in-Test.
Maintenance If a GE product malfunctions, please verify the following: 1. Software version resident on the product 2. System configuration 3. Electrical connections 4.
