Module Description

The HP E1418A is an 8 or 16 channel digital- t o-ana log converter module for use in a VXIbus C-s ize mainframe. The modu le is a regis ter-based device. The module can be programmed via direct register access or, with the appropriat e driver , by high level commands. This manual de scribes programming the module using SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) a nd the SCPI driver.

Each HP E1418A module is a unique instrument having its own output buffer and error queu e. Multiple modules cannot be combined into a single instrument.

Each channel can be configured to eith er voltage or current output mo de. When configu r ed f or voltage output, voltages in the range of -16.0 to +16.0 Volts can be set. When configured f or current output, current in the range of -0.02 to + 0.02 Amps can b e s et. The c hannel output mode can be programmatically set, or, can be forced to either voltage or current by mechanical jumpers on the terminal module.

Chapter 1 Module Setup and Insta ll ation 13

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

Each output channel is individually configurable to be either an isolated output or a non-isolated output. Cha nne l configuration to is olated or non-isolat ed is made by individual plu g- on modules for each channel.

Functional Description

The HP E1418A provides great flexibility in configuration. This functional description will help you become famil iar with the various configurations and how th e module is structured. A functio nal bloc k diagra m is shown in Figure 1-2.

Figure 1-2. A Function al Blo ck Diag ra m

Each channel MUST have either an isolated or non-isolated plug-on module installed. Channels may be configured

using any combination of Isola ted and Non -Isol ated plug-on modules.

16 Module Setup and Instal lation Chapter 1

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

As shown, there are four major assemblies that m a k e up an HP E1418A:

– Channels 1 through 8 main board and VXIbus backplane circuitry. – Channels 9 through 16 expansion board. – Isolated or Non- isola ted plug-on modules. – Terminal Module.

Cha nnels 1–8 m ain board and VXIbus backplane circuitry.

This assembly contains all the VXIbus interface and decoding circuitry. Isolated and Non-Isolated plug-on modules f or channels 1–8 connect to this assembly. The panel connectors for the terminal module are also mounte d on this assemb ly.

The optional C hannels 9–16 expansion board is electrically connected and mechanically mounted to the main board. I s olated and Non-Isolated plug-on modules for channels 9–16 connect to this assembly.

Isolated or Non-isolated plug-on modules are required for every channel. Eight plug-on modules mount to the main board and 8 plug-on modules mount to the expansion board. Any c omb inati on of is olated or non-isolated plug-on modules may be used, but every channel must ha ve a plug-on module ins ta lle d.

The Terminal Module shown i n Figure 1-2 is the standard screw-type terminal module. This module provides screw connections for each channel output, the calibration connections, and the external trigger in connections. This module also contains two jumpers for each channel; one, called the P/J Jumper, to enable or disable VXIbu s programming of the channel mode (either voltage or current) and one, called the V/I Jumper, to set the channel mode when the P/J Jumper is in the Jumper position.

Setting the Logical Address Switch

Figure 1-4 shows the logical address switch location and setting. The logical address switch factory setting is 72. Valid addresses range from 1 to 255.

When used with an HP Command Module the fac t ory set address of decimal 72 results in a module address of 9 (72 divided by 8). The module address is used as a secondary address when using HP-IB and a Command Module. For ex ample, the module address may be 7 09 09, wher e 7 is the HP-IB interfac e address, 09 is the command module addr ess, and 09 is the HP E1418A addre ss.

The HP E1418A supports dynamic address configuratio n. When you set the logical address to 255, the res o ur ce manager s ets the logical address programmatically.

Note When using an HP C-size mainframe with the HP E1405/E1406 Command

Modules, the logical address setting must be a multipl e of 8.

Module Installation

To install t he module:

1. Verify the position of the CAL Store Enable Jumper for your application. The Jumper, as shipped, is in the CAL position. In this position, a calibration may be performed and the results stored in non-volatil e memory. In the Secured positio n, a calibration may be performed , but may NOT be stored in no n- volat ile memory. This jumper is described in more detail on page 156.

2. Verify or set the logical address switch as shown in Figure 1-4.

3. Install the module in a mainframe as shown in Figure 1-5.

Installation in a

Mainframe

The HP E1418A may be installed in any slot (except slot 0) in a C-size VXIbus mainframe. To install in a mainframe:

1. Set the extraction levers out. Slide t he module into an y s lot ( ex cept slot 0) until the backplane connectors touch.

2. Seat the mo dule by moving the levers toward each other.

3. Tighten the top and bottom screws to secure the modu le in the mainframe.

20 Module Setup and Instal lation Chapter 1

Artisan Technology Group - Quality Instrumentation ... Guaranteed | (888) 88-SOURCE | www.artisantg.com

To Remove a Module: To remove a module from a mainframe:

1. Remove any terminal modules.

2. Loosen the top and bottom screws securing the module in the mainframe.

3. Move the extraction levers away from each other. As the levers are moved, the module will detach from t he ba ck plane connectors.

4. Slide the module out.

Note The extraction levers will not seat and unseat the backplane connectors on

older HP VXIbus mainframes and n on-HP ma inframes . You must manually seat the connectors by pushing the module into the mainframe until the front panel is flush with the front of the mainframe. The extraction levers may be used to guide or remove the module.

Terminal Module Options

Besides the standard screw-type terminal module, the HP E1418A can be ordered with the following two optio ns. One option (A3E) provides crimp-and-insert connectors and terminal housing. The other option (A3H) provides a ribbon cable con nector and termina l hous ing.

Option A3E HP E1418A Option A3E can be ordered if a crimp-an d -insert terminal

module is desired. This allows you to crimp connectors onto wires which are then inserted directly into the HP E1418A faceplate connector. Ref er to the pin-out diagram on page 30 to make the connections. The crimp-and-insert connector is shown in Figure 1-10.

Note The pin numbering on th e crimp-and-insert conn ector may not agree with the

pin nu mberi ng on the HP E1418’s fa ceplate connector. Use the pin numbering on the faceplate connector to wire the crimp-and-insert connector.
