Configuring Non-701X Series Cards for

Model 7001/7002 Switch Systems

Introduction

This addendum explains configuring cards originally designed for the Model 705/706
Scanners with newer mainframes, such as the Model 7001/7002 Switch Systems. It
supersedes descriptions in the non-701X card manuals concerning the programming
of pole mode, channels/crosspoints, and settling time.

In general, the Model 7001/7002 mainframes detect (on power-up) Model 701X
series cards that are installed. If using older cards, you must assign a model number
to the appropriate slots.

After Model 7001/7002 mainframes are configured for any non-701X series cards,
relay closures on these cards can be programmed from the front panel or IEEE-488
bus. Switch and multiplexer cards are programmed by slot and channel (S!C), while
matrix cards are programmed by slot, row, and column (S!R!C).

Card configuration

The CARD CONFIG MENU of the Model 7001/7002 Switch Systems configures the
card slots. Press the CARD CONFIGURATION key to display the following:

CARD CONFIG MENU

TYPE #-OF-POLES CARD-PAIR

DELAY READ-I/O-CARD

TYPE

Use TYPE to assign a model number for each non-701X series card installed in the
mainframe. The model number assignment determines the relay settling time and
front panel relay status display. From the CARD CONFIG MENU, perform the fol­lowing steps to assign a model number to a slot:

1. With the and keys, place the cursor on TYPE and press ENTER. The model
number for the presently selected slot is displayed. For example, with a Model
7002 mainframe:

PA-400 Rev. A
September 1993

SET CARD TYPE NONE

SLOT-#1 #2 #3 #4 #5

SLOT-#6 #7 #8 #9 #10

A flashing “#5” would indicate that slot 5 is assigned to be empty (NONE). To
check assignments for other slots, simply use or .

2. Move the cursor to the desired slot number and press ENTER. An example dis­play follows:

SLOT 5 CARD: NONE

3. Assign a model number to the slot. For example, if a Model 7062 is installed in
slot 5, use or to scroll to “7062”.

4. With the model number assignment displayed, press ENTER.

5. When finished, use EXIT to back out of the menu structure. Note that the relay
status display changes to show the channel or crosspoint configuration of the
card.

#-OF-POLES

While installed in Model 7001/7002 mainframes, two of the non-701X series cards
(7056 and 7156) can have their pole configuration changed. The following table
shows the pole configuration for all non-701X cards.
