1.2 System Relevant Information
The following system relevant information is general in nature but should still be considered
when developing applications using the VMP3.
1.2.1 System Configuration
System configuration is solely a function of the application, however, when implementing ap-
plications, precautions must be taken to ensure that the signals of the VMP3 are properly ter-
minated in accordance with the specifications set forth in this manual. For this reason it will be
necessary for system integrators to ensure proper signal conditioning for their applications be-
fore interfacing with the VMP3. In addition, it is imperative that signal interference be kept to a
minimum.
1.2.2 Operating Software
The VMP3 is supplied with appropriate operating system and board support software for board
operation.
1.3 Board Diagrams
The following diagrams provide additional information concerning board functionality and com-
ponent layout.
