This section tells you how to install the waveform generator into a Tektronix
VXIbus mainframe. If you are installing the VX4792 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator into a different mainframe, refer to the instruction manual for that
mainframe for any pertinent installation or capacity information.
CAUTION. The waveform generator cooling requirements may exceed the
capability of some mainframes. To avoid electrical damage to the waveform
generator or mainframe, verify that your mainframe meets the cooling
requirements specified in Table E–3 of this manual (see page E–7).
Table E–1 on page E–2, and Table E–3 on page E–7, list the voltage, current, and
cooling requirements for the VX4792 Arbitrary Waveform Generator. (These
requirements also appear on the right cover of the module. In these pages of this
manual however, additional specification informations are being written.) Be
sure your mainframe can supply adequate current and cooling to the VX4792
Arbitrary Waveform Generator and the other modules you plan to install into the
same mainframe.
WARNING. Shock hazards exist due to high currents within the mainframe
compartment. Do not change configuration of the Bus Grant and Interrupt
Acknowledge jumpers unless you are qualified to do so.
VXIbus mainframes contain daisy-chain jumper straps for the Bus Grant
(BG0-BG3) and Interrupt Acknowledge (IACK) signals. Tektronix mainframes
include all necessary jumpers. If you are using a Tektronix mainframe, the names
of the jumper straps (BG0-BG3 and IACK) are often printed on the circuit board
facing the front of the mainframe. Access these jumpers from the front of the
mainframe.
IACK Jumper. Remove the IACK jumper strap for the right-most slot in which
you will install the instrument. Retain the strap for future reconfiguration.
BG0-BG3 Jumpers. Leave the BG0–BG3 jumpers installed in the mainframe.
