- Page 15 CompuGen 3250: identifying your card CompuGen model and version The CompuGen 3250 product consists of two boards: an add-on board which contains output buffers and a base board which includes bus interface circuitry. To determine the model and version of CompuGen you have, look at the top of the add-on board for the model name and version number.
- Page 16 Master/Slave labels If you have purchased a multi-card system, you will notice that one card has been designated as the MASTER card, and the remaining cards are SLAVE cards (SLAVE 1, SLAVE 2, etc.). The Master/Slave label is located on the bracket beneath the BNC connector, as shown in the diagram below: Master/Slave label Figure 37: CompuGen 3250 Master/Slave card label...
- Page 17 CompuGen 3250 optional features Labels specifying all options, upgrades or modifications are located on the solder side of each card. The following options are currently available: • Master/Slave • External Clock Master/Slave option The CompuGen 3250 can be operated as an Independent card, as a Master card or as a Slave card. All cards are set as Independent cards unless specifically requested otherwise.

- Page 20 CompuGen 3250 I/O address The base I/O address is determined by the eight position DIP Switch located near the top right of the card, partially hidden by the add-on board. Figure 40: Location of I/O address DIP switch The CompuGen 3250 has an I/O address space of four 16 bit words, which can be re-located anywhere between 0x200 and 0x3F8 on a four-word boundary.
- Page 21 I/O DIP switch and ISA bus address lines Each of the switch positions 1 through 8 corresponds to an address line A2 through A9 from the ISA bus. Switch Position Address Line As the CompuGen 3250 uses four I/O locations, there is no need to configure a switch for Address Lines A0 and Calculating the switch settings Some of the more generally available I/O addresses are listed on the following page with their equivalent SW2 switch settings.
- Page 22 Generally available I/O addresses and corresponding SW2 settings The numbers to the right of each address are the switches you must ENABLE to use that particular address. Remember that to ENABLE an SW2 switch position, set it AWAY from the switch number. CompuGen 3250 Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...
- Page 23 If the computer starts properly, install GageBit software. This application software is also supplied on the Gage CompuGen ISA CD. Refer to section: GageBit Application on page 20 for more details on installing application software. Run GageConfig to verify proper installation of Windows drivers (see page 69).
- Page 24 1. Install the CompuGen ISA driver (refer to the Driver installation guide section on page 3 for details). Windows drivers are supplied with the product on the Gage CompuGen ISA CD. 2. Power off your PC and consult your computer’s user manual on installing expansion cards.
- Page 25 13. If the computer starts properly, install GageBit software. This application software is also supplied on the Gage CompuGen ISA CD. Refer to section: GageBit Application on page 20 for more details on installing application software. 14. Run GageConfig to verify proper installation of Windows drivers (see page 69).
- Page 26 CompuGen 3250 troubleshooting with GageConfig In almost all cases, a CompuGen 3250 can be installed in a PC and made functional within 15 minutes of opening the box. However, there are times when there may be a conflict between a CompuGen 3250 and the rest of the PC system.
- Page 27 If you run GageConfig and see the verification result to be "ABSENT", you may have either an I/O conflict or a memory conflict. To solve the problem, try the following: 1. Check that I/O Address listed on the screen matches that of the card’s I/O DIP Switch setting 2.
- Page 28 IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A PLEATED FOIL CABLE AND A BNC BREAKOUT BOARD TO MAKE THIS PART OF THE VERIFICATION EASIER Note: For more detailed information on using GageBit, refer to the GageBit Manual which is available on the Gage CompuGen ISA CD in Documentation Manuals.

- Page 29 CompuGen 3250 triggering CompuGen 3250 features state-of-the-art triggering. A user can select the trigger source and trigger slope using software commands. The user can software-select the trigger source from any one of the following: • External Trigger • Manual Trigger Data output appears on the output connectors exactly 5 clock cycles after an external trigger is received from the outside world.
- Page 30 CompuGen 3250 output drivers and connector Output drivers for the CompuGen 3250 are designed to be compatible with the high quality connector and cable assembly supplied optionally with the CG3250. The drivers have +/- 100 mA drive capability for each output, thereby providing a 5 Volt swing into a 50 Ω load. This is in line with Ohm’s Law that dictates that: V = I * R Hence, if the voltage (V) must be 5 Volts into a load (R) of 50 Ω, the drive current (I) must be 0.1 Amps or...
- Page 31 CompuGen 3250 accessories There are two accessories that can be purchased with the CG3250: • 68 wire Pleated Foil Cable • BNC Breakout Board The Pleated foil cable uses copper conductors encapsulated in a specialized Teflon substrate to create just the right dielectric constant such that when wrapped in a “pleated copper foil”, each conductor becomes equivalent to a 50 Ω...
