A VMEbus functional module that detects interrupt requests generated by
Interrupters and responds to those requests by requesting status and
identify information.
The relative priority at which a device can interrupt.
Interrupt Timing and Extension
1,024; kilobytes of memory
Laboratory Virtual Instrument Engineering Workbench
Light Emitting Diode
An 8-bit number that uniquely identifies each VXIbus device in a system.
It defines the A16 register address of a device, and indicates Commander
and Servant relationships.
1,048,576; megabytes of memory
meters
A functional part of a MXI/VME/VXIbus device that initiates data
transfers on the backplane. A transfer can be either a read or a write.
A device is in master mode if it is performing a bus cycle which it
initiated.
An intelligent device that implements the defined VXIbus registers and
communication protocols. These devices are able to use Word Serial
Protocol to communicate with one another through communication
registers.
A utility that checks the status of the loaded drivers. It displays the
module ID of the driver, the name of the device, and additional
information about the module.
