5.6 Display Elements of the Module There are three LEDs (light-emitting diodes) on the front of the Port Transmission Mod- ule R&S TS-PTRF. These LEDs indicate the actual status of the R&S TS-PIO3B con- nected to the R&S TS-PTRF. Description of the LEDs:...
The Port Transmission Module R&S TS-PTRF contacts each of the open drain I/O ports (0-7) of the connected R&S TS-PIO3B to exactly one of the connectors X33 to X40. In addition, each of the open drain I/O ports of the R&S TS-PIO3B can optionally be wired to the front panel via jumpers.
Page 58
5-4, the R&S TS-PTRF features a jumper to the front panel for each bit of an open drain I/O port or of the analogue port of the R&S TS-PIO3B. If a complete port is to be wired to the front panel, 8 jumpers must be plugged.
The R&S TS-PTRF generates eight SPI Chip Select signals (low active) from the R&S TS-PIO3B port P9.TIO. One CS signal each is wired to X33 to X40 and can be routed in parallel to the front panel (X10) via a jumper.
The 5-V converter can deliver a max. output current of 2 A. The +12 V are fused on the R&S TS-PIO3B / R&S TS-PTR by fuses. The +5 V gener- ated locally are not fused.
