  • Page 19: Mode Register (J130)

    The mode register is a 'read-only' register to configure the board via software. It is read as WORD under the local address '0x00'. The LSB (D0-D7) is always read as 0x01. It is used to identify the board as VME-DAC1612 in the VMEbus system. The MSB contains information about the number of D/A-converter channels equipped and the polarity of the output voltage.
  • Page 20 Jumpers and Coding Switches D8: DAC-addresses The D/A-converters of the VME-DAC1612 are usually selected via D12-D15/A1-A4... the four least significant address bits (A1...A4). If the jumper J130/pin 1-2 has not been set, the D/A-converters are not selected via the addresses, but the most significant data bits (D11...D15).
