    ProDAQ 3120 Standard Motherboard Hardware Manual 3120-XX-HM 1. Introduction This manual describes the ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard and explains how to install and configure the ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard with any of the ProDAQ Plug-in Modules and ProDAQ Function Cards. The ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard provides a VXIbus interface and common resources like a voltage reference module (optional), trigger routing capability and additional power regulators for up to eight ProDAQ function cards.

    3120-XX-HM 2. Installation The ProDAQ 3120 Motherboard is shipped in a VXI module enclosure, ready to be installed in a VXIbus chassis. The function cards can be factory-installed or field-installed later on. The front- panel is populated with filler panels for each ProDAQ function card slot, which should be left in place unless a ProDAQ function card is installed in the slot.

    3. Configuration VXIbus Address Space To simplify the integration of a ProDAQ 3120 module into a VXIbus system, it can be configured to operate using either the VXIbus A24 or the VXIbus A32 address space for access to the function cards in addition to the VXIbus configuration register space in the VXIbus A16 address space.
  • Page 14: Figure 6 - Logical Address Selection

    3120-XX-HM ProDAQ 3120 Standard Motherboard Hardware Manual VXIbus Logical Address Each device in a VXIbus system is assigned a logical address, either statically by the user or dynamically by the resource manager. This logical address, a number between 0 and 255, defines the base address of the board's VXIbus configuration registers in A16 space.

    3120-XX-HM 4. Theory of Operation The ProDAQ 3120 system is comprised of a Motherboard module (MB) that is a VXIbus Register based device. It is able to access up to eight function cards (FC). The motherboard occupies a single slot in a VXIbus Mainframe. This standard performance motherboard is the first of a series with different capabilities.
  • Page 16: Accessing The Motherboard

    3120-XX-HM ProDAQ 3120 Standard Motherboard Hardware Manual A central feature of the MB is the trigger interface, which is built around a switch matrix allowing 1:n and m:1 (m, n = 1 to 24) connections. The VXIbus ECL and TTL trigger lines can be switched individually to the function cards.
