E2730A tuner to form a two-channel, phase-coherent tuner. This connector, via internal switching, may also be used to input a 2nd LO frequency from another E2730A tuner to form a Master/Slave relationship. The appropriate operating mode (independent, master or slave) must be remotely selected via the LOM command which is described in Section 3 of this manual.
Page 27: Power And Cooling Requirements Versus Mainframe Selection
(ON = logic 0, OFF = logic 1). Figure 2-3 provides the combination of switch position settings required for various addresses. When the E2730A is configured as a DC device, the Resource Manager assigns a logical address to it during the power-on sequence. When the tuner is in the SC configuration, it responds to controller commands only after receiving the address as identified by the DIP switch.

Page 29: Installing The E2730A In The Mainframe
Before installing the tuner, ensure its logical address is set to the proper setting (refer to paragraph 2.4). The E2730A should be installed vertically in a C-size mainframe. Refer to the equipment manual provided with the mainframe being used for proper module installation instructions.

Page 34: Introduction
All tuner indicators are located on the front panel. Two LEDs are provided for monitoring the operating status of the unit. The following paragraphs further explain the function of each LED. The E2730A has no front panel controls. 3.2.1 RUN INDICATOR, GREEN LED This green LED illuminates approximately one second after power is applied to the tuner, indicating that the tuner’s microcontroller is active...
Page 35: Tuner Control Using The Vxi Interface
Commands and IEEE-488.2 Protocol. Binary registers may also be used for some of the most common functions. The following paragraphs provide further details on how the E2730A is controlled in the VXI architecture using either command method. 3.3.1 VXIBus/E2730A INTERFACE All tuner operations are directed by commands received over the VXIbus.
Page 36: E2730A Addressing
E2730A is determined by the Resource Manager by reading the tuner's MODID (module identification) line during the power-up and initialization routine. The E2730A contains an offset register that can be written to by the resource manager to define its address. Refer to Section F in the VXIbus Specification for further details on dynamic configurations.
Page 37: E2730A Communication Protocol
E2730A VXI RF TUNER 3.3.4 E2730A COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL The operation of the E2730A is normally controlled using word serial commands (refer to the VXIbus Specification, paragraph C.3.3.1) and IEEE-488.2 modeled ASCII mnemonics. The Tuner also supports register based VXI operations. Each communication method is discussed in the following paragraphs.
Page 38 E2730A VXI RF TUNER character. Numeric arguments are represented by the least number of digits necessary to represent the entire range of the argument. If the argument can be negative then a sign character ("+" or "-") is always given. Multiple arguments are delimited by "," character(s). Responses to concatenated queries are concatenated in the output buffer, delimited by “,”...
Page 39: Register Based Vxi Operations
The available VXI binary commands are discussed in the following paragraphs. BINARY COMMANDS The E2730A may be controlled by writing commands to either the VXI Device Dependent Registers or through the lower portion of “Upper Memory” as assigned by the Resource Manager. Binary commands allow control of frequency and attenuation.

Page 41: Interrupters
The E2730A tuner is a message-based VXI device with interrupter capability. The tuner requires one VXIbus interrupt line for operation. The interrupt line is used when the E2730A tuner has asserted a service request (SRQ). The “assign interrupt line” word serial command (see paragraph 3.3.1) is used to assign interrupt lines to a VXIbus device.
Page 42: Tuner Operations
REFERENCE SELECTION The E2730A can have its frequency referenced to one of three sources: an internal reference oscillator, an external 10 MHz input on the front panel of the tuner or the VXI 10 MHz bus reference. The tuner always powers up using the internal reference oscillator.

Page 44: Manual Control
This query allows an application to configure itself based on the current frequency limits. While all of the E2730A tuners currently respond with the same limits, future units could potentially have extended capabilities. The frequency range query will respond with a lower frequency limit of 2 MHz and an upper frequency limit of 2700 MHz.
Page 45: Tuner Attenuation Operations
Reset = TSP 2 Example = TSP 1 TUNER ATTENUATION OPERATIONS Gain control of the E2730A is via the ATN command. The ATN command allows the reduction of gain from maximum (ATN 0) in approximately 2-dB increments to gain minimum (ATN 56).
Page 46: Memory Operation
E2730A VXI RF TUNER 3.4.3 MEMORY OPERATION A memory channel contains an entire setup for a single frequency. A total of 200 memory channels are provided. Memory channels may be accessed directly via the Store Memory Direct (SMD) and Read Memory Direct (RMD) commands.

Page 48: Communication Messages And Srq Operations
The mnemonics in this message category are always valid. These commands establish communications and control the event interrupts between the E2730A and the controller and do not alter the hardware functions of the tuner. The commands associated with this message category are described in the following paragraphs.
Page 49 E2730A VXI RF TUNER The ESB bit indicates an enabled event in the Event Status Register (*ESR) occurred. The *ESR contains bits to indicate Operation Complete (OPC), Query Error (QYE), Device Dependent Error (DDE), Execution Error (EXE), Command Error (CME) and Power On (PON). The Event Status Enable Register (*ESE) contains a corresponding enable bit for each event.

Page 51: Hardware Error Messages
Figure 3-1. E2730A SRQ Structure Diagram 3.4.5 HARDWARE ERROR MESSAGES The E2730A performs both startup built-in internal tests and continuous monitoring of key tuner sections. The tuner responds to a command which reruns the startup test and also queries to determine the current status of these operations along with the history since the last status request.
Page 52 E2730A VXI RF TUNER During normal operation the tuner LO status is continually monitored. The error status bits are set to indicate the results of the monitoring operations. The tuner includes three command queries for determining hardware error status. Each of the commands returns a bit mapped value between 0 and 65535, where each bit indicates the hardware status of a particular subsystem of the tuner.
