Installation and Configuration
To install and configure the operation of the HP-IB card, follow the sequence of
steps below:
CAUTION
Static discharge can destroy components on a card. Handle the card by using its
anti-static container or by the extractor levers on the card. Do not touch the
electrical traces or set the card on any surface other than its anti-static container.
All I/O cards draw their power from the host computer system. Refer to section
1 for power requirements of the HP-IB card.
1.
Set the card switches. Table 3-2 provides a summary of switch positions.
Note that UP (open) is logic one, and DOWN (closed) is logic zero.
a.
Set switch SI(7), marked "SLOW", either up (for medium/slow-speed
operation) or down (for high-speed operation).
Check that the
optional load resistor pack (see the HIGH-SPEED OPERATION
paragraph) is installed if high-speed devices are going to be connected
to the card AND the card is the HP-IB System Controller.
b. Set switch SI(6), marked "SCTL", either up (System Controller ON) or
down (System Controller OFF) depending on whether the card is going
to operate as the System Controller.
c.
Set switches SI(1) through SI(5) to the card HP-IB address. Address
override is set to 30 decimal when it is acting as controller-in-charge.
d. Ensure switch SI(8) is in the down/disabled position.
2.
Turn off your computer power following system shutdown procedures
compatible with your computer operating system. all HP-IB devices should
also be powered-down. Insert the HP-IB card into the desired slot in the I/O
channel. Make sure that the components on the card are on the same side as
other installed cards. When installing the card, use care not to touch or
damage the components or traces on the card or on adjacent cards.
Handling the card by its extractor handles, press it firmly into place.
3. Connect the HP-IB Channel Cable 27113-63001 to the 26-pin connector (J2)
on the card. Table 3-3 shows the pin signal definitions for connector J2.
Connect the other end to the HP-IB device(s).
