2.1 Inspection
After unpacking, inspect the unit carefully for possible damage to connectors or compo−
nents. If any damage is discovered, contact Pentek at (201) 818−5900. Please save the
original shipping container and packing material in case re−shipment is required.
The Model 6526 contains two printed circuit (PC) assemblies. The board with the VME−
bus P1 and P2 connectors (the VME board, Pentek part # 004.65260) contains the VME
interface, the ‘C31 DSP, its associated memory resources, and the FIFOs. The other board
(the Mezzanine board, Pentek part # 004.65261), houses the input connectors and the
Digital Receiver circuitry. Drawings of the component and solder sides of both PC
assemblies are shown in Figures 2−2 through 2−5, on the next four pages.
2.2 VMEbus A16 Base Address Switches
Three separate address spaces are defined for the VMEbus environment. These three
regions are known as A16, A24, and A32. Each device in your VMEbus card cage must
have a unique address in any address space in which it must be accessible. On the
Model 6526, the A16_base address (the lowest address in the A16 region occupied by
this device) is set by two rotary switches. These switches, SW1 and SW2, are located on
the VME board and are accessible through a notch at the rear of the Mezzanine board.
Set these switches for the desired A16_base address before installing the Model 6526 in
the VMEbus card cage. Figure 2−1, below, shows what these switches look like, and
Figure 2−2, on the next page, shows the location of these switches on the VME board.
The settings of these 16−position rotary switches each defines four bits of the Model
6526’s A16_base address. Each of the 16 positions on the switches denotes a hex digit (0
to F), whose four−bit binary value is used as part of the device’s base address. SW2
defines the four most significant bits (MSBs) of the address (A15 – A12), and SW1
defines the next four bits (A11 – A8). Thus, with 16 settings available on each of two
switches, 256 different base addresses may be selected. Figure 2−1, above, illustrates
the switches set for an A16_base address of 0x8C00.
