VMEbus Address Modifier Codes
The scanner can respond to the following VMEbus address modifier codes,
depending on how you configure the scanner’s address space and response
to VME accesses.
This code
(hex):
means:
3D
standard (A24) supervisory access
39
standard (A24) nonĆprivileged access
2D
short (A16) supervisory access
29
short (A16) nonĆprivileged access
The scanner runs asynchronously to other VME master processors. Once
in Run mode, the scanner continuously scans all the adapters in its scan
list. The scan list identifies which adapters to scan and in what order to
scan them. An adapter can appear several times in the scan list. For more
information about using the scan list, see chapter 4.
When the scanner scans an adapter, it brings in digital input data and
places the data in the scanner’s input image table. At the same time, the
scanner sends digital output data to the adapter.
