Hardware Supported

The module can drive the following VME slave I/O modules: Burr Brown MPV-902 and MPV-910.

VME Configuration

The following configuration commands are provided.

    bb902Config(ncards, base)
    bb910Config(ncards, base, nchannels)
where
    ncards - number of modules. The default is (4,4)
    base - the VME address for the first card. The default is (0xd800,0xb800)
    nchannels - 32

Note that when multiple cards of the same type are installed, they must be configured sequentially in the VME A16 address space. The driver uses vxMemProbe() to check for the presence of a module at each of the sequential addesses configured.
