VMEbus Interface must enter the channels to calibrate into the SCR and the digital representation of the expected result of the calibration voltage into the TCVH and TCVL. The DSP uses these values in determining the gain and offset coefficients. The equation for determining the digital representation of the expected result is given in the Target Calibration Voltage Register (TVC) section on page 56.
VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board channels, the bit in the BCR will be cleared and written to the SYS RECONFIG $0000 BRR. When a VMEbus read indicates , the user knows the Reconfiguration Mode is $0000 complete and the board is accessible. Figure 1-3 on page 25 shows the reconfiguration flowchart from the user’s standpoint.
Digital Signal Processor (DSP) Digital Signal Processor (DSP) The DSP is responsible for gathering data from the ADC and providing offset and gain correction along with filtering. The DSP and the Erasable Programmable Logic Device (EPLD) combine to control all board operations. During calibration, the DSP collects up to seven different sets of data from user defined inputs.

VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board Electrically Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM) The DSP firmware is stored in the EPROM. There are four main boot pages stored in the EPROM. These are the power-up/reset boot page, the main routine boot page, the calibration boot page, and the reconfiguration boot page.
Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (E2PROM) Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (E PROM) The gain and offset coefficients calculated in the Calibration Mode can be stored in the PROM. The board is shipped with factory determined coefficients. When the user initiates a calibration, newly calculated coefficients are stored in the DSP for use in real-time correction.
VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board Control Logic The control logic consists of the logic required to read and write the RAM and PROM, initiate ADC conversions, and arbitrate between the board and the VMEbus. The control logic consists of an EPLD. Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ...
Analog Inputs Analog Inputs The VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter board can accept bipolar and unipolar signals in the ranges stated in the specification. To ensure accuracy and reduce noise, proper grounding techniques and the use of twisted shielded pair cable is strongly recommended for the low-level ranges. The inputs provide a high impedance in the power on or off condition.
VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board Open Transducer Detection The ADC supplies software controlled open transducer detection. Open transducer detection allows the user to check if an input transducer is still connected or an open condition has occurred. This function only works on ranges from ±1 V (0-to-1 V) to ±5 mV (0-to-5 mV).

Analog Inputs Calibration for the current option is similar to regular calibration as described in the Calibration Mode section on page 20 and the Target Calibration Voltage Register (TVC) section, but with one difference. The value entered in the TCVH and TCVL must be expressed as a voltage.
All claims arising from shipping damage should be filed with the carrier and a complete report sent to VMIC together with a request for advice concerning the disposition of the damaged item(s).
Base Address Configuration Base Address Configuration There are 20 jumper positions to establish the Base Address, Address Mode, and Access Mode. The Address Mode can be configured for standard or short address space. The Base Address is determined by the presence (address bit compared to logic zero [0]) or absence (address bit compared to logic one [1]) of a jumper shunt at each appropriate address jumper position.
VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board UIOC Jumper The UIOC jumper alerts the DSP if the board is being used with VMIC’s I/O controllers. This jumper is labelled E10. If the jumper is installed, the DSP recognizes that the board is controlled by the I/O controller. It is the responsibility of the UIOC to extinguish the front panel LED.

Calibration Calibration Before delivery from the factory, the VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter board is fully calibrated for each range and conforms to all specifications. The calculated gain and offset coefficients are only as good as the source used for calibration.
VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board RTD Applications and Configurations The two main configurations for RTDs are the three- and four-wire interfaces. Each of these configurations will be described, along with figures showing the necessary connections. Three-Wire RTD Configuration In the three-wire configuration, shown in Figure 2-7 below, lead resistances will result in errors in the measurement if only one of the RTD excitation currents is used.
RTD Applications and Configurations Four-Wire RTD Configuration The RTD has to be connected to the board using wire. Almost certainly, there will be an impedance mismatch between the HIGH and LOW sides. This impedance mismatch can result in significant errors in the temperature measurement. The four- wire configuration, shown in Figure 2-8 below, eliminates any errors associated with lead resistances because no current flows in the measurement leads.
VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter Board General Control Features Addressing Modes and Board Locations Programmable address jumpers permit the VMIVME-3126A High Resolution, Isolated Analog-to-Digital Converter board to be located in either short I/O (A16) space or in standard (A24) space. The board can be located on any 256-byte boundary.
