Rp2.1 Real-Time Processor - TDT RZ2 Manual

RP2.1 Real‐Time Processor
RP2.1 Overview
The RP2 and RP2.1 real-time processors consist of an Analog Devices Sharc
floating point DSP with surrounding analog and digital interface circuits to yield a
powerful programmable signal-processing device capable of handling a variety of
tasks.
Power and Communication
The RP2.1 mounts in a System 3 zBus Powered Device Chassis (ZB1PS) and
communicates with the PC using any of the zBus PC interfaces. The ZB1PS is UL
compliant, see the
Software Control
Software control is implemented with circuit files developed using TDT's RP Visual
Design Studio (RPvdsEx). Circuits are loaded to the processor through TDT run-
time applications or custom applications. This manual includes device specific
information needed during circuit design. For circuit design techniques and a complete
reference of the RPvdsEx circuit components, see the
Features
Memory
The RP2 comes with 16MB of memory for data storage and retrieval. The RP2.1
has 32MB of memory for data storage and retrieval.
Digital Input/Output Bits
The digital I/O circuits include eight bits of digital input and eight bits of digital
output that are accessed on the 25 pin connector on the front of the RP2. The
