The Intelligent Data Acquisition Node (IDAN®) building block can be used in just about any combination with other IDAN building blocks to create a simple but rugged 104™ stack. This module can also be incorporated in a custom-built RTD HiDAN® or HiDANplus® High Reliability Intelligent Data Acquisition Node.

When removing it from the bag, hold the board at the edges, and do not touch the components or connectors. Handle the board in an antistatic environment and use a grounded workbench for testing and handling of your hardware.

IRQs: 2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, or 15. The IRQ can be set by closing the appropriately labeled jumper on the board. | www.rtd.com GPS16164 User’s Manual RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc.
Typically, IRQs cannot be shared; although there are some special cases (see “The G Jumper” later in this document). In general, the IRQ you select should not be used by any other devices in your system. | www.rtd.com GPS16164 User’s Manual RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc.

The table on the following pages shows the possible base address settings for the GPS16164. All base addresses are in hexadecimal. An ‘X’ indicates a closed jumper, while an empty cell indicates an open jumper. Base Address Jumpers (Hexadecimal) | www.rtd.com GPS16164 User’s Manual RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc.
GPS 1 Pulse Per Second (1 PPS) D1 (Antenna OCP) Over current condition detected on the antenna bias supply. OCP is 800mA, recommended continuous current is 500mA. OCP recovery takes about 25ms. | www.rtd.com GPS16164 User’s Manual RTD Embedded Technologies, Inc.
NOTE: When using under Windows, the GPS may be incorrectly detected as a Serial Mouse, causing erratic mouse cursor behavior. This issue has been documented by Microsoft.

RTD ISA ID RTD ID is a method to identify a board on the ISA bus. There are two 8-bit registers mapped at BA + 800h and BA + 801h. The registers can be read as two 8-bit or one 16-bit. An internal pointer is automatically incremented with every read to either address so the data read will step through each index as indicated below.
