Verification Testing

A verification test can be run to ensure that the board has not been damaged during shipment and
also to ensure that the board has been configured correctly. This requires an interactive control
program or an equivalent mechanism, such as front panel control switches or front panel emulator,
that provides a way to load and read memory and I/O addresses.
The tests presented in Section Seven of this manual consist of a series of steps written in a pseudo
(processor-independent) language with instructions. The steps generally involve writing data to
specific GPIB-1014P device registers followed by reading other GPIB-1014P registers to verify
that the programming is correct. These tests exercise virtually all of the major functions of the
GPIB-1014P, including I/O communications and GPIB communications. All functions except
GPIB communications can be performed as stand-alone operations (that is, without another GPIB
device). To completely check the GPIB functions, you must use a bus tester or analyzer (such as
National Instruments GPIB-400 or GPIB-410) that can monitor and control GPIB signal lines;
emulate GPIB Talker, Listener, and Controller devices; and single-step through the Source and
Acceptor Handshakes.

Cabling

Optional cables are available to connect the GPIB-1014P to other GPIB devices. Connect the cable
to the GPIB-1014P at the standard GPIB connector labeled J1 at the top of the interface board.
(The GPIB connector protrudes through the metal front cover plate.)
