Getting Started This section begins with a brief description of the Option 01 VXI Interface Module, and explains how to configure and install the module on a relay switching module in a VXIbus mainframe. When the Option 01 is installed on a relay module, a quick functional check (described in this section of the User Manual for the relay module) assures that the instrument operates properly.

Getting Started The Local Bus Interface function of the Option 01 provides serial I/O interface for control of scanner slave and SurePath relay modules, monitors the power fuses of all local bus slave modules that it controls, and provides a serial input interface to identify each local bus slave that it controls. As part of the self test, SurePath modules automatically verify the control logic every time a relay operation is performed. Figure 1–1 shows the Option 01.installed on a SurePath r

Getting Started Functional Check The Option 01 VXI Interface Module executes a self test at power-on, on direction of a VXIbus hard or soft reset condition, or on command. The power-on self test consists of an interface self test and an instrument self test. The self test requested by command performs only the instrument self test. A VXIbus hard reset occurs when another device, such as the VXIbus Resource Manager, asserts the backplane line SYSRESET*. A VXIbus soft reset occurs when another dev

Getting Started During a commanded self test: 1. SYSFAIL* is not asserted. 2. The module executes the same instrument self test as is executed upon power on. 3. When the self test is completed, the modules controlled by the Option 01 are restored to their pre-test state. SYSFAIL* Operation SYSFAIL* becomes active during power-on, hard or soft reset, or self test, or if the module loses 5 V power. When the mainframe Resource Manager detects SYSFAIL* set, it will attempt to inhibit the line. This
