and all Gilderfluke manuals). The upper switch is used to set the
upper hex nibble’s address. The lower switch is used to set the
lower hex nibble’s address.
As an example, a typical address for a Z-Brick is right after the
sixteen eight bit resolution analog outputs on a BR-ANA. If the BR-
ANA outputs are addressed at address 0, then the last analog
channel is in address 15. This translates to 0Fh, so the first ad-
dress which is available to the Z-Brick is 16 (decimal), or 10h. To
set this address on a Z-Brick, the upper address switch would be
set to ‘1’, and the lower switch set to ‘0’.
Another common address is right after sixteen analog outputs
of a BR-ANA which are set to twelve bits of resolution. These sixteen
twelve bit resolution outputs occupy twenty-four channels worth
of data. If they are addressed at address 0, then the last analog
channel is in address 23. This translates to 17h, so the first ad-
dress which is available to the Z-Brick is 24 (decimal), or 18h. The
upper address switch needs to be set to ‘1’, and the lower switch
set to ‘8’.
The Z-Brick can be mounted in one 1” wide slot in any of our
Brick Card cages. The Z-Brick can be used in conjunction with
any selection of Smart Bricks, Smart Brick Brains, Electronic
FeedBack (EFB) Smart Bricks and Z-Bricks in the same card cage.
Card cages with one, two or sixteen slots are available. The card
cages provide all of the connections for power supply, control
signals and outputs that any Brick card will need. Several differ-
ent styles of output connectors are available on the one and two
slot card cages. The sixteen slot card cage mounts in seven
inches (4U) of standard 19” rack space (4-1/2“ of space behind
the panel). In some applications you may need to mount a sin-
gle Smart Brick. This can be done by mounting the Brick on
standoffs, and connecting to the card's edge connector with a
mating connector. We usually recommend a sixty position insu-
lation displacement connector for this type of installation.
