Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Safety and Manual Conventions
This manual contains conventions regarding safety and equipment usage as described below.
1.1.1 Product Reference
Throughout this manual, the term “Common Core Switching Platform, Series 8800” refers to all models
of within the series, unless otherwise specified.
1.1.2 Personal Safety Alert
WARNING: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
1.1.3 Equipment Safety Alert
CAUTION: Indicates a situation which can damage or adversely affect the product or
associated equipment.
1.1.4 Notes
Notes are denoted and used as follows:
NOTE: Highlights or amplifies an essential operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition or
statement.
1.1.5 Electrical Safety Precautions
Any servicing instructions are for use by service-trained personnel only. To avoid personal injury, do not
perform any service unless you are qualified to do so.
For continued protections against fire hazard, replace the AC line fuse only with a fuse of the same
current rating and type. Do not use repaired fuses or short circuited fuse holders.
This manual provides the necessary information for the Model 4513 card assembly.
3.2 General Description
This card assembly contains an 8x8 single wire matrix. Connected to the eight input channels of the
matrix are eight 4-pole star switches. The eight output channels of the matrix can be switches to the
front panel of the card or to the analog backplane of the Series 4000 Multi-Slot VXI Module. The 4-pole
star switches allow the input channels (3 per star switch) to be used as multiplexed inputs to the matrix,
or as I/O paths between the three inputs.

Chapter 6 Register Map
6.1 Introduction
The Introduction is a VXI register based card assembly designed to be installed within the ASCOR Series
4000 Multi-Slot VXI Module. The Relay Registers on this card assembly are controlled by a high-speed
VXIMAX™ 16/32 VXIbus interface. Because of VXIMAX™, you can program Relay Registers as 16-bit or
32-bit words (in D16 or D32 mode) as desired, with no special configuration or upgrade procedures
required. As described in Section 3 of the Guide, write to registers through your VXI controller.
When a Relay Register data bit is on (true), the corresponding relay is closed. The state of the relays in a
register can be determined by reading the Relay Register. The data readback represents the state of the
relay coil (according to the default state of the Relay Control Register). This allows you to verify that the
physical data register has correctly controlled the relay coil.
The Relay Registers start at an offset of 8000h from the multi-slot module A24/A32 Slot Base Address.
The A24/A32 Slot Base Address is equal to the multi-slot module A24/A32 Base Address plus the slot
number where the card assembly resides in the multi-slot module times 10000h. For example, if the
Introduction card assembly is installed in slot 3, and the multi-slot module A24 Base Address is 200000,
then the address of the first Relay Register is 238000h.
For more information on registers including addressing, VXI Device Registers, and programming
instructions.
Note: The Introduction does not initiate interrupt requests.
You can access Relay Registers as either 16-bit or 32-bit words. Under 16-bit (D16) mode, address
offsets increment by 2h. Under 32-bit (D32) mode, address offsets increment by 4h. The Error! Reference source not found.shows offsets and bit numbers for both methods, and the relays controlled
by each register bit.
