To install the HP E1432A

Caution

To protect circuits from static discharge, observe anti-static techniques
whenever handling the HP E1432A 16-Channel 51.2 kSa/s Digitizer plus DSP
Module.

1

Set up your VXI mainframe. See the installation guide for your mainframe.

2

Select a slot in the VXI mainframe for the HP E1432A module.
The HP E1432A module’s local bus receives ECL-level data from the
module immediately to its left and outputs ECL-level data to the module
immediately to its right.

Every module using the local bus is keyed to

prevent two modules from fitting next to each other unless they are
compatible.

If you will be using the local bus, select adjacent slots

immediately to the left of the data-receiving module.

The local bus can

support up to nine HP E1432A modules at full span at real time data
rates.

If the VXI Bus is used, maximum data rates will be reduced but the

module can be placed in any available slot.

3

Using a small screwdriver or similar tool, set the logical address configuration
switch on the HP E1432A.
(See the illustration on the next page.)

Each module in the system must

have a unique logical address.

The factory default setting is 0000 1000

(8).

If an HP-IB command module will be controlling the HP E1432A

module, select an address that is a multiple of 8.

If your VXI system

dynamically configures logical addresses, set the switch to 255.
