Because it does not rely upon additional supporting analog boards for A/D or D/A conversion, the VMIVME-3111 simplifies the task of designing any VME system which requires both analog inputs and outputs. The following brief...
VMIVME-3111 offers real-time programmable input gains of x1, x10, x100, and x500. Autocalibration features permit program-controlled calibration of zero offsets and input gain. A block diagram of the VMIVME-3111 is shown in Figure 1.2-1. All inputs are available with low pass filters for noise elimination.

By allowing a new channel to settle before conversion of the previously selected channel has been completed, T will be eliminated from F (maximum). The VMIVME-3111 control logic permits this to take place if the board is operated in the interleaved (pipelined) mode. Operating requirements interleaved mode are discussed in Section 4.

CONTROLLING AND READING THE ADC Two principal methods are available for controlling the ADC on the VMIVME-3111 board. For applications in which conversion speed is not a critical factor, the basic method usually will provide suitable performance. This is the simpler of the two methods to implement and will produce a maximum throughput on the order of 35 kHz (35,000 samples per second).

This section describes the use of these jumpers, and their effects on board performance. The locations and functions of all VMIVME-3111 jumpers are shown in Figure 5.4-1 and Table 5.4-1. 5.4.1 Factory-Installed Jumpers Each VMIVME-3111 board is configured at the factory with the specific jumper arrangement shown in Table 5.4-1.
5.4.2 Board Address and Address Modifier Selection Jumper blocks J36 and J37 permit the VMIVME-3111 board to be located on any 32-byte boundary within the short I/O address space available from the VMEbus (see Sections 3 and 4). Operation in the short I/O address space requires that 15 address lines be decoded to access all locations.
