Interrupt level select jumper

Use the Interrupt Level Select jumper located above the PC bus interface (gold pins) to set the IRQ number you

want the interrupt pulse on.

This jumper is set by default with no interrupt level set ("X" position). Interrupts are hardware initiated

software routines and are described in the section on programming.

Figure 2. Interrupt Level Select jumper

Pin 1 (IR INPUT) of the 37-pin connector is an input jumper which maps the interrupt directly onto the PC bus.

The signal to the bus is buffered. The buffer is enabled by a TTL low level on Pin 2 (IR ENABLE).

Hardware interrupts assigned by the PC may be available; refer to the following table. Note that IRQ8 to IRQ15

are AT only.

Wait state jumper

The CIO-CTR05 board has a wait state jumper which you can set to enable an on-board wait state generator. A

wait state is an extra delay injected into the processor's clock via the bus. This delay slows down the processor

when the processor addresses the CIO-CTR05 board so that signals from slow devices (chips) will be valid.

The jumper is shown in Figure 3 configured for OFF (wait state is disabled).

The wait state generator on the CIO-CTR05 is only active when the CIO-CTR05 is being accessed. Your PC

will not be slowed down in general by using the wait state.
