INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
The SVM Series leverages off VXI Technology’s line of high-density modular VXIbus
instruments, but are optimized for the VMEbus. All SVM instruments are designed to provide all
the features of test instrumentation in other platforms such as GPIB or VXI. These features are
achieved in hardware rather than in a driver. This approach to the interface design guarantees the
user that all communications to the module occur in microseconds, as opposed to several
milliseconds, considerably improving system throughput. The board is equipped with a
microprocessor which significantly increases the module’s functionality and task performing
capabilities.
The SVM2608 is a ruggedized circuit card designed for insertion into a convection-cooled VME
chassis. It is a double height VME size module (6U) of single slot width and conforms to all
physical requirements as specified by VME specifications. The VME interface is compatible with
the VME32/64x configuration with two 160-pin (32 x 5) backplane connectors (P0 – P1). The
SVM2608 consists of four low-speed (100 kSamples/s) channels and, with the addition of the -01
Option, can include two, high-speed (20 MHz) channels.
OVERVIEW
The SVM2608 is a precision, four channel digitizer capable of capturing data on all four channels
simultaneously either in FIFO (or “real-time”) mode or Linear (or “burst”) mode. A processor
enables the user to perform a variety of calculations with the data acquired. Each channel is also
capable of measuring voltage and resistance. All four channels can measure voltage at the same
time, but resistance can only be measured one channel at a time. Resistance can be measured in
two different modes: 2-wire or 4-wire. Both modes use a local current source to inject a current
into the resistor under test and then measure voltage across the resistor.
All four channels are independent of one another. The front end of each channel has both a
variable gain amplifier and an attenuator, thus allowing for full ADC scale measurements of
signals from 1 V to 100 V. Before being digitized, the signal can be passed through a Low Pass
Filter (LFP) with a cut-off frequency of 20 kHz. The ADC is a 16-bit converter capable of taking
as many as 100 kSamples/s on a scale of -10 V to +10 V. To compensate for offset and gain
variation in the ADCs, each channel has two 12-bit DACs that are used to calibrate the offset and
the gain on each channel ADC. These calibrations are performed at the factory using precision
voltage reference sources.

The acquisition process is controlled by two FPGAs that allow for greater flexibility along with
higher speed and precision during the digitizing process. As the data is digitized, it is placed in
memory. It is then available to the user through the VME interface. Each channel has its own
channel memory that can store up to one million samples of data. This data is also made available
to the microprocessor for data processing. The samples are stored as words (16 bits). The first
sample of a channel is located at the channel’s base address at Offset 0 (0x000000 for Channel 0,
0x200000 for Channel 1, 0x400000 for Channel 2 and 0x600000 for Channel 3). The next sample
is located at Offset 2 (0x000002 for Channel 0, etc.) and the third sample is located at Offset 4,
etc.
In order to provide better resolution for the measurement, the input signal is amplified
accordingly to generate a ±10 VP-P signal at the input of the ADC. Thus, on different scales, the
weight of a bit of digitized data will be different:
SCALE (V)
Bit Weight (μV/count)
30.518

61.035
5
152.588
10
20
50
305.176
610.352
1525.879
The following equation is used to determine the bit weight at a specified scale:
Bit Weight = Full Scale / 32,768
For example, the Bit Weight of the 10 V range is:
10.0 volts / 32768 = 0.0003051757813 V/count
≈ 305.176 µV/count

The counts stored in memory are 16 bits SIGNED integers. The most significant bit represents
the SIGN. Thus, the hex number 0x4000 and the hex number of 0xC000 represent the same
signal amplitude but in opposite directions, where 0x4000 represents a positive signal while
0xC000 is a negative signal with the same amplitude.
To translate a raw count value into a voltage, multiply the raw count value by the bit weight. The
following example shows this conversion for a SVM2608 using the 10.0 V range:
A reading of 0x4000 = 16,384 counts
Voltage = Counts * Bit Weight
Voltage = 16384 counts* 305.176 µV/count
≈ 5.0 volts.
A reading of 0xC000 = -16,384 counts
Voltage = -16384 counts * 305.176 µV/count
≈ -5.0 volts.
Similarly, for the 5 volt range:
A reading of 0x4000 = 16,384 counts
Voltage = 16,384 counts * 152.588 µV/count
≈ 2.5 volts.
Data acquisition can be made in two modes: Linear or FIFO. In FIFO mode, data can only be
read from a fixed address (FIFO register), while in Linear mode, data can be read from any
address in the memory space of a channel. Linear mode also offers a two more options for
acquisition: Pre-Trigger and Delayed Trigger.
In FIFO mode, data can be retrieved while the acquisition is still in progress. However, if the
memory is not read and the acquisition continues running, new incoming data will overwrite
older data and the older data will be lost. It is also NOT possible to run a measurement command
in FIFO mode.
Acquiring Data
To acquire data, a channel must first be Armed. When a channel is armed, it starts its local
Sample Clock and waits for a Trigger Event to begin sampling. The channel must remain Armed
for the entire duration of the acquisition process. Clearing the ARM bit will reset the internal
state-machines and stop acquisition. Data capturing starts when a Trigger Event occurs. A trigger
event can be caused by an external trigger source, the signal under test or forced by setting a bit
in a register.
Triggering
An external signal, other than one of the sampled signals, can be used to trigger any or all of the
channels. This external signal is compared to a threshold level set by a local DAC and a high-
speed comparator is used to generate an External Trigger signal.
The signal under test can also be used to trigger an acquisition. The signal is compared to a
threshold level set by a local DAC and a high-speed comparator is used to generate a Channel
Trigger signal. Each channel has its own DAC and its own comparator, thus, each channel can
generate a Trigger signal independent of the other channels. Acquisition on any channel can be
triggered by any other Channel Trigger signal (Channel 0 can be triggered by Channel 0 Trigger,
Channel 1 Trigger, Channel 2 Trigger, or Channel 3 Trigger) even if the other channels are not
armed and are not acquiring any data. Only one channel can be the trigger source at any time and
the trigger sources cannot be AND’ed or OR’ed together.

VXI Technology, Inc.
In absence of a Trigger signal, the acquisition can be forced by setting a control bit, the FORCE
bit. Forcing an acquisition on a channel only starts acquisition on that channel. Each channel has
its own corresponding FORCE bit.
Linear Mode
In Linear mode, the total number of samples collected (also referred to as Sample Points) is
determined by the value programmed into the Sample Points register. The first sample (also
referred to as Sample Zero) is stored in memory when a Trigger Event occurs. Sample Zero is
from the value read from the channel’s base address at offset zero (0x000000 for Channel 0,
0x200000 for Channel 1, 0x400000 for Channel 2 and 0x600000 for Channel 3).
Pre-Trigger
In Linear mode, it is also possible to store samples that occur before a Trigger Event. When a
channel is armed and the Pre-Trigger register is programmed with a value other than zero, that
channel will begin sampling immediately, without waiting for an External Trigger. After it stores
the number of samples specified in the Pre-Trigger register (also referred to as Pre-Trigger
Points), it begins monitoring the Trigger Event. Until the Trigger Event occurs, the channel
continues sampling and storing. When the Trigger Event occurs, Sample Zero is stored. After the
Trigger Event, the number of data points collected is determined by the following equation:
AFTER TRIGGER POINTS = SAMPLE POINTS – PRETRIGGER POINTS
When the user reads from offset zero of a channel, the data returned is Sample Zero followed by
Sample Zero + 1, etc. The Pre-Trigger Points can be read from the top of that channel’s memory.
For example, if 0x100 Pre-Trigger Points were sampled on Channel 0 after the acquisition is
completed, the samples can be retrieved from locations 0x1FFE00, 0x1FFE02 …0x1FFFFE with
the data at 0x1FFFFE being the last Pre-Trigger Sample before the trigger event.
Delayed Trigger
In Linear mode, it is also possible to delay storing Sample Zero by a number of sample clocks,
where a sample clock is defined by the Sample Clock Rate register. The number of sample clocks
an acquisition is delayed (also referred to as Delayed Points) is programmed in the Delayed
Trigger register. Samples are taken and stored immediately when the Trigger Event occurs, but
Sample Zero will be stored only after the specified number of Delayed Points passes. Data stored
during the Delayed period can be viewed by the user at the top of the memory space of the
respective channel (same as in Pre-Trigger mode as above), assuming that the following
condition is observed:
SAMPLE POINTS < 1 MSamples
As opposed to the Pre-Trigger acquisition, the number of samples taken after the Trigger Event is
not affected by the number of samples taken before it:
AFTER TRIGGER POINTS = SAMPLE POINTS
If the following condition is met:
DELAYED POINTS < 1 M – SAMPLE POINTS
Then all the samples collected before the Trigger Event are available to the user.

FIFO Mode
In FIFO mode, the user can retrieve data from the board as acquisition progresses. The memory
behaves as a FIFO: data is written into a circular buffer with new data overwriting older data
when the buffer is full. A Threshold Flag is available to monitor the status of the buffer and
prevent overwriting the data or under-reading it.
The Sample Points register that is used in Linear mode to determine the amount of data to be
captured is used in FIFO mode to determine the size associated with the FIFO Threshold Flag.
When the number of samples stored in memory equals the number of points set in the Sample
Points register, the FIFO Threshold flag is asserted. In this manner, the user can wait until a
certain number of samples are captured before they download data from the board. If the user
fails to retrieve the data from the card in time and new data overwrites older data, then the FIFO
Overrun flag is asserted. Conversely, if the user attempts to read more data than has been stored,
the FIFO Underrun flag is asserted. The FIFO Threshold flag is cleared when data is read from
the board and the total amount of “new (unread)” data in the buffer is less than the THRESHOLD
value. The FIFO Overrun and Underrun flags are cleared only when a new acquisition is
initiated.
Calibrations
Due to the nature of the semiconductors and passive components, not all parts have exactly the
same characteristics. Slight differences exist from component to component. While these
inconsistencies are unavoidable, they do not affect the basic functionality of the electronic
instrumentation. The precision of the instrument, however, can be altered by these variances.
One way to eliminate these slight variations is to use expensive, precision parts or to perform a
rigorous parts selection procedure to ensure consistency. These measures, however, would
dramatically increase the cost of the board. Another way to compensate for offset and gain
variations is to take a number of measurements using precision calibrated instruments of known
voltage and resistance. Their known values are then compared against the values attained for
each channel and the difference is used to adjust future measurements. These adjustments are
called calibrations. They are performed at the factory using approved calibration sources.
Test Bus
The SVM2608 is capable of performing a self-test to check for functionality and accuracy. Using
a local voltage reference source and local resistance references, basic function tests can be
performed. Four different voltage reference sources are available on the board: ±9.45 V and
±0.945 V. Two Resistance References are available: 128 Ω and 81.92 kΩ. Two different signal
generators can also be used for different tests: a RAMP generator and a PULSE generator. Any
of these locally generated test sources can be placed on the internal Test Bus (TB). The Test Bus
can then be connected to the input of any or all of the channels. Only one of the test signals can
be connected to the Test Bus at one time. The test sources can be connected to the Test Bus using
microprocessor commands. The Test Bus is also available to the user for monitoring on pins 24
The self-test is performed by sending a command to the microprocessor, instructing it to run the
Result is returned (see the description of the Self Test Command for a more detailed description).
Commands
The SVM2608 is equipped with a processor. While the processor is not directly involved in the
acquisition process, its presence on the board significantly enhances the capabilities of the
SVM2608 digitizer.
The user can choose to download the data on to a CPU and perform custom data processing, or
they can instruct the on-board microprocessor to perform one or several predefined calculations

sent to the microprocessor via the Command register. Since there are four independent channels
on the board, each of them can take a different command and each of them has its own command
register. The result of the microprocessor calculation is returned in the Result register for the
corresponding channel.
The data stored in the channel memory is raw data. When the microprocessor performs a
resistance calculation, it uses calibrated data, meaning that the microprocessor takes the
calibrations for the Local Current Sources (see above) values into consideration. The raw data the
user downloads from the board represents calibrated voltage measurements. The result calculated
by the microprocessor and placed in the Result register when a Resistance Measurement
command is issued is based on calibrated Current measurements. While the user can perform
calibrated voltage measurements by simply reading the raw data, the calculations for resistance
cannot be accurately performed by the user as they do not have the calibrated current values (the
exact values injected in the resistance under test by the board’s current source). Although it is
use the raw data to perform all the calibrated measurements on their own, the manufacturer
encourages the use of the microprocessor’s capabilities to perform all calibrated resistance
calculations.
Option -01
With the addition of the SVM2608-01 option, two additional channels are available with a
sample rate of 20 MHz and 12-bits of resolution. This option may be purchased at the same time
as the SVM2608 or is factory upgradeable.
The high-speed channels available on Option -01 function independently. The front end of each
channel has both a variable gain amplifier and an attenuator, similar to the low-speed channels. A
5 MHz low-pass filter (LPF) is available on these channels, as opposed to the 20 kHz LPF found
on the low-speed channels. The ADC converter is a 12 bits converter capable of taking as many
as 20 MSamples/s on a scale of -2 V to +2 V. To compensate for offset and gain variation in the
ADCs, each channel has two 12 bits DACs that are used to calibrate the offset and the gain on
each ADC channel. These calibrations are performed at the factory using precision voltage
reference sources. A block diagram for Option -01 is provided on the following page.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
The SVM2608 has a protective coating applied to it to ensure that the effects of environmental
hazards are minimized. This coating endows the modules with resistance to salt sprays, moisture,
dust, sand, and explosive environments, as the polymer coating provides a hermetic seal. The
module is designed to withstand the stress and rigors of shock and vibration, allowing the module
to be deployed in a variety of applications without concern for damage due to the surrounding
physical environment. The following table details the environmental specifications of this
module.

The SVM2608 has two indicator LEDs located on its front panel. The A/E (Access/Error) LED
flashes green when read/write commands are being sent to the module. Should the SVM2608
receive an error, the LED glows red. This LED can be overridden by the user by setting the Sysfail
green indicates the status of a processor driven self-test. If the self-test is successful, the P/F LED
glows green, if the test fails, however, the LED will glow red. Both the A/E and P/F LEDs can be
programmed to glow red when a fail condition occurs.

SECTION 2
PREPARATION FOR USE
INTRODUCTION
When the SVM2608 is unpacked from its shipping carton, the contents should include the
following items:
(1) SVM2608 4 Channel 100 kSamples/s Analog-to-Digital Converter Module
(1) SVM2608 User’s Manual (this manual)
All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit. Installation
instructions for the module are discussed in the following pages of this section.
The chassis the SVM2608 is installed in should be checked to ensure that it is capable of
providing adequate power and cooling. Once it is found that the chassis meets these specifications,
the SVM2608 should be examined. If the module is found to be in good condition, the base
address of the SVM2608 and the backplane jumpers of the chassis may be configured. After
setting the base address and chassis jumpers, the SVM2608 may be installed into an appropriate
6U VMEbus mainframe in any slot other than slot zero.
CALCULATING SYSTEM POWER AND COOLING REQUIREMENTS
It is imperative that the chassis provide adequate power and cooling for this module. Referring to
the chassis operation manual, confirm that the power budget for the system (the chassis and all
modules installed therein) is not exceeded and that the cooling system can provide adequate
cooling.
It should be noted that if the chassis cannot provide adequate power to the module, the instrument
might not perform to specification or possibly not operate at all. In addition, if adequate cooling is
not provided, the reliability of the instrument will be jeopardized and permanent damage may
occur. Damage found to have occurred due to inadequate cooling could also void the warranty of
the module.
SETTING THE CHASSIS BACKPLANE JUMPERS
Please refer to the chassis operation manual for further details on setting the backplane jumpers.

SETTING THE BASE ADDRESS
The base address of the SVM2608 is determined by using the offset value (OV), set by two rotary
16,777,216) to get the base address in A32 address space. The switches are labeled with positions
0 through F. The switch located at S3 corresponds to the Most Significant Bit (MSB) and S2
corresponds to the Least Significant Bit (LSB). (Note, S1 is not used in the determination of the
base address.) To set the OV to 25, first convert the decimal number to the hexadecimal value of
examples are provided on the following pages.

Here is another way of looking at the conversion:
OV = (S3 x 16) + S2
OV = (1 x 16) + 9
OV = 16 + 9
OV = 25
The base address is then determined by using the following formula:
A32 Base Address = Offset Value * 0x1000000 (or 16,777,216)
In this case:
A32 Base Address = 0x19 * 0x1000000 (or 16,777,216)
A32 Base Address = 0x19000000

on SVM2608 registers.)
MODULE INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
Before installing an SVM2608 module into a 6U VME mainframe, make sure that the mainframe
is powered down. Insert the module into the base unit by orienting the module so that the flanges
at the edge of the module can be inserted into the slot of the base unit. Position the flanges so that
they fit into the module slot groove. Once the module is properly aligned, push the module back
and firmly insert it into the backplane connector. The retaining screws can then be used to secure
the module in the chassis.
To remove the module, power down the mainframe and remove all cabling from the module. The
retaining screws can then be loosened. The ejector handles can then be used as to assist in the
removal of the module.

PROGRAMMING
INTRODUCTION
The SVM2608 modules are VMEbus register-based devices for high-speed D16 or D32 data
retrieval. Register-based programming is a series of reads and writes directly to the module
registers. This eliminates the time for command parsing thus increasing speed.

Register Offset
The register offset is located within the module's A32 address space. When data is sent to a
register address, the address that is written to is the sum of the module base address, the function
offset and the register offset:
Register Address = Module Base Address + Function Offset + Register Offset

DATA(BYTE) ORDERING
When a pair of 16-bit registers is read as a 32-bit register, the content of the register marked MS is
placed on the VME Bus on D31 - D16 and the content of the register marked LS is placed on
D15 - D0. Similarly, when a pair of 16-bit registers is written as a 32-bit register, the register
marked MS is loaded with the data present on the VME Bus on D31 - D16 and the register marked
LS is loaded with the data present on D15 - D0. All other registers should be addressed as 16-bit
registers to prevent any malfunctioning.

With a variety of systems and bridges that move the data between different bus types (i.e. VME to
PCI, VXI to PCI, etc.), in order to assist the user in determining how data is ordered, a known
floating point value of 0.12345678901234 is loaded at Power-Up in the Result Register for all
channels. Channel 0 values are listed as an illustration:
0x3FBF
0x9ADD

0xF4C6
is written at address
is written at address
is written at address
is written at address
0xC00028
0xC0002A
0xC0002C
0xC0002E
By reading the value from these addresses, the user can identify the type of DATA(BYTE)
swapping that takes place in the system and modify their code accordingly. An example of how to
do the swapping is presented in Appendix A.
DETERMINING THE REGISTER ADDRESS
A user wishes to set Channel 2 to the 1.0 V range. Data is to be captured linearly without the use
of the low pass filter or timeout control and will trigger from the positive edge of data sent to
Channel 2. To accomplish this, the user will access the Control Register for Channel 2 at register
offset 0x0058. To determine the register address, this value must be added to the base address and
A32 address of the module. In this example, it is assumed that the base address switches are set to
0x19, yielding a base address of 0x19000000. Since the user must write to a register, the function
offset is 0x00C00000.
Register Address = Module Base Address + Function Offset + Register Offset
= 0x19000000 + 0x00C00000 + 0x00000058
= 0x19C00058
By observing the bits in the Control Register, it can be determined what data value should be sent:

The binary values are then converted into a hexadecimal format:
Binary

This determines the data value required for the aforementioned settings.
ACCESSING THE REGISTERS
With both D16 and D32 data transfer available, the user can write either 16 or 32 bits of data to
the registers. To change the settings of the module, it is only necessary to write a 16- or 32-bit
integer to the specified register with the new configuration.
All registers, as defined in the following section, are 16-bit registers. A 32-bit write can be made
to registers that are located in consecutive addresses. The consecutive 16-bit registers that can be
accessed as 32-bit registers are:
Sample Rate Register (0x0C, 0x34, 0x5C, 0x84, 0xAC, 0xD4)
Sample Points Register (0x10, 0x38, 0x60, 0x88, 0xB0, 0xD8)
Pre-Trigger Points Register (0x14, 0x3C, 0x64, 0x8C, 0xB4, 0xDC)
Trigger Delay Register (0x18, 0x40, 0x68, 0x90, 0xB8, 0xE0)
FIFO data (0x24, 0x4C, 0x74, 0x9C, 0xC4, 0xEC)
Result Register (0x28 & 0x2C, 0x50 & 0x54, 0x78 & 0x7C, 0xA0 & 0xA4, 0xC8 &
0xCB, 0xF0 & 0xF4)
NOTE
Reading 32 bits from a 16-bit register may generate a BERR on the VME bus.
Writing 32 bits to a 16-bit register may generate a BERR on the VME bus or may corrupt data in
another register.
DESCRIPTION OF REGISTERS
The following pages describe the registers found in the SVM2608 Register Map for A32 address
space that starts at 0x00C0000. When multiple channels registers have the same functions, the
offsets appear in parenthesis separated by commas with Channel 0 being listed first, followed by
Channel 1, etc. For example, the description used by the Control Register Bit is applicable to all
six channels at offsets 0x08 for Channel 0, 0x30 for Channel 1, 0x58 for Channel 2 and 0x80 for
Channel 3, 0xA8 for Channel 4 and 0xD0 for Channel 5. This is indicated in the register
description by using the following notation: (0x08, 0x30, 0x58, 0x80, 0xA8, 0xD0). Unless
otherwise noted, register descriptions apply to all channels (Channels 0 – 5).

Force Trigger - All of the channels have the ability to be triggered via
software when in the arm mode. Acquisition begins when trigger is
forced. These bits need to be reset to ‘0’ in order to allow subsequent
triggers (it is the transition of a bit from 0 to 1 that forces a trigger). One
bit is assigned to each channel as follows:
D6 for Channel 0
D7 for Channel 1

MICROPROCESSOR COMMANDS
Unless otherwise specified, commands are issued to each channel’s command register. After
issuing a command, the user must wait until the command is executed before issuing a new
command to the same channel. The module sets the Command Register to all zeros when a
command is finished executing. Issuing a new command before a command completes will yield
unpredictable results and may place the board into an unknown state. It is acceptable, however, to
issue a command to a different channel without waiting for the current channel to finish execution.
Measurement Commands
The following is a list of the measurement commands:

Captured Data Calculations
The following commands perform calculations on previously captured data:
:
0x0001 = Peak Voltage
0x0002 = DC Voltage
0x0003 = RMS Voltage
0x0004 = Peak-to-Peak Voltage
0x001A = Minimum Voltage Calculation
0x001B = Generic Resistance Calculation
The user sets the Sampling Rate, Sampling Points, Measurement (voltage, resistance), Range
and Trigger Event (signal or forced), collects the data. Once the data collection is complete, one
of the above commands is issued. The microprocessor performs the calculation based on the
captured data and returns the result in the Results Register.
Note that after data is collected, calculations can be performed without doing additional data
captures. So, for example, it is possible to calculate dc voltage and then calculate peak-to-peak
voltage on the same data collection.

Resistance Measurement – Offset Method
The value returned by the resistance measurement offset commands (0x0022 through 0x002D) is
calculated using two current values. A voltage is measured when a current (I) is applied to the
circuit (VON) as well as when the current is not applied (VOFF). The offset resistance value is then
calculated using the following formula:
VON −VOFF
Offset Resistance Measurement =
I
This might be useful when trying to measure a resistance in the presence of a voltage.
Resistance Measurement – Dynamic Method
The dynamic measurement resistance commands (0x002E – 0x0039) are used to determine a
resistance value for a given current while taking the non-linear nature of the current versus voltage
curve produced by diodes. The measurement is performed using two currents. The initial current,
I1, produces the initial voltage, V1. A second, lower current, I2, creates a second voltage, V2. The
dynamic resistance measurement value is calculated using the following formula:
V1 −V2
DynamicResistance Measurement =
I1 − I2
When dynamic resistance is measured in the lowest current range (highest resistance range), no
“lower” current value exists. In this instance, current is turned off for the second measurement (I2
= 0). In effect, this measurement is the same as an offset resistance measurement.
Self Test Command
The Perform Self Test (0x0011) command instructs the processor to perform an internal test using
the on-board reference voltage and on-board reference resistors. The purpose of this test is to
verify the functionality and accuracy of the system. A failure is indicated if the measurement is not
within 0.8% of the correct value.
This command can be sent to each channel independently to perform a self test on that channel,
the result of the self test is placed at the base offset for each channel (i.e. 0x000000 for Channel 0,
0x200000 for Channel 1, etc.). Each one of the 32 bits indicates the FAILURE (bit = 1) or
SUCCESS (bit = 0) of a test as follows:
For Channels 0 – 3:
Bit 0 - Measures +0.945 V on the 1 V scale
Bit 1 - Measures -0.945 V on the 1 V scale
Bit 2 - Measures +0.945 V on the 2 V scale

Bit 1 - Measures -0.117 V on the 0.5 V scale
Bit 2 - Measures +0.945 V on the 1 V scale
Bit 3 - Measures -0.945 V on the 1 V scale
Bit 4 - Measures +0.945 V on the 2 V scale
Bit 5 - Measures -0.945 V on the 2 V scale
Bit 6 - Measures +0.945 V on the 5 V scale
Bit 7 - Measures -0.945 V on the 5 V scale
Bit 8 - Measures +9.45 V on the 10 V scale
Bit 9 - Measures -9.45 V on the 10 V scale
Bit 10 - Measures +9.45 V on the 20 V scale
Bit 11 - Measures -9.45 V on the 20 V scale
Bit 12 – 31 are not used and read as “0”.
Example 1
Reading 0x0000000C after a Self Test command indicated a problem during Self Test 0 and Self
Test 1, measuring ±0.945 V on the 2 V scale, but no problem on all other tests. This would
indicate that the front end programmable gain amplifier has a problem on the x5 (gain = 5) setting.
Example 2
Reading 0x00000000 after a Self Test operation would indicate that all Self Tests passed
successfully.

0x1028 Set the V Negative 0.1177 calibration gain value, calibration value.
All the calibration commands use the channel’s base address at offset zero (0x000000 for
Channel 0, 0x200000 for Channel 1, 0x400000 for Channel 2 and 0x600000 for Channel 3) for
communication with the processor. This is where the user places the data it wants the processor to
write when it issues a “Set …” command. This is also where the processor places the data for the
user to read when the user issues a “Read …” command.
When the user issues a “Set …” command, the value is read by the processor from the channel’s
base address at offset zero and it is stored in its local volatile calibration memory. Each calibration
value has its own location in the volatile calibration memory.
The 0x1001 command takes the values from the volatile calibration memory and stores them in
non-volatile memory. If the values in the non-volatile calibration memory have been changed by
the user, issuing this command will permanently erase the values set by the factory and replace
them with the new values set by the user.
The 0x1000 command reloads the values stored in the non-volatile memory into the volatile
calibration memory. This operation is executed by the microprocessor at power-up automatically.
This is useful for the user in the event that the calibration memory is accidentally changed and the
user wants to recall the factory preset values from the non-volatile memory.
Error Processing
Each channel has its own ERROR queue. Sending the 0x1024 command to a channel’s command
register will return an error code to the channel’s base address at offset zero. If several errors occur
at the same time or if the user does not read the error queue to clear the error codes, the error codes
will accumulate in a queue. The error queue is five positions deep. Only the first error in the queue
is returned when a “Read the error queue command” is sent. When there are no more errors in the
queue, the error code returned is 0x0000. Here is the list of error codes returned by the processor:

FLASH Memory Programming Commands
The following commands can be used to change the content of the FLASH memory. The FLASH
memory stores the board’s software (executed by the microprocessor) and firmware (what
programs the two FPGAs on the board). To prevent accidental writings of the FLASH, a sequence
of three commands is necessary to perform a write to it.
To change the microprocessor software, the new file that needs to be programmed into FLASH is
uploaded at offset address 0x000000. Then, to change the software, the following three commands
must be issued in this particular order. Issuing them in a different order will not produce any
results:
0x5501, 0xAA01, 0x5501
After issuing each of the above commands, the user must wait until the command is executed
before issuing the next one. When the second 0x5501 command is done, it means the new data has
been moved into FLASH memory.
To change the firmware for the first FPGA (U1), the new file that needs to be programmed into
FLASH is uploaded at offset address 0x000000. Then, the following three commands must be
issued in this particular order. Issuing them in a different order will not produce any results:
0x5502, 0xAA02, 0x5502
After issuing each of the above commands, the user must wait until the command is executed
before issuing the next one. When the second 0x5502 command is done, it means the new data has
been moved into FLASH memory.
To change the firmware for the second FPGA (U20), the new file that needs to be programmed
into FLASH is uploaded at offset address 0x000000. Then the following three commands must be
issued in this particular order. Issuing them in a different order will not produce any results:
0x5503, 0xAA03, 0x5503
After issuing each of the above commands, the user must wait until the command is executed
before issuing the next one. When the second 0x5503 command is done, it means the new data has
been moved into FLASH memory.
To change the firmware for the third FPGA (U37), the new file that needs to be programmed into
FLASH is uploaded at offset address 0x000000. Then the following three commands must be
issued in this particular order. Issuing them in a different order will not produce any results:
0x5504, 0xAA04, 0x5504
After issuing each of the above commands, the user must wait until the command is executed
before issuing the next one. When the second 0x5503 command is done, it means the new data has
been moved into FLASH memory.
Changes become effective the next time the module powers up.

USE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

EXAMPLES
Example 1: Setting the Channel 2 and 4 Sample Rate to 123 ms (8.13 kHz)
The sample rate clock for an individual low-speed channel (Channels 0 – 3) is generated by
dividing a 0.1 µs (10 MHz) reference clock, generated by an on-board oscillator, by the value
present in the Sample Rate register of the respective channel. For the high-speed channels
(Channels 4 – 5), the reference clock is 8.333 ns (120 MHz).
123 ms = 123*10-3 s
For Channel 2, divide 123 ms by the 0.1 µs reference clock:
123×10-3 s
=1,230,000
100×10−9
s
For Channel 4, divide 123 ms by the 8.333 ns reference clock:
123×10-3 s
8.333×10−9
≅14,760,590
s
To set the Sample Rate to 123 ms, the reference clock must be divided by 1,230,000 for Channel 2
and 14,760,590 for Channel 4. In hexadecimal format, these values correspond to 0x12C4B0 and
E13A8E, respectively. The Sample Rate register for Channel 2 is composed of two 16 bits
registers located at offsets 0xC0005C (the MS – Most Significant bits, bits D24 - 16) and
0xC0005E (the LS – Least Significant bits, bits D15 - D0). The Sample Rate register for Channel
4 is similar, starting at offset 0xAC.
Method 1: Make two 16 bits writes.
For low-speed Channel 2:
Write 0x0012 to Base address + 0xC0005C
Write 0xC4B0 to Base address + 0xC0005E
For high-speed Channel 4:
Write 0x00E1 to Base address + 0xC000AC
Write 0x3A8E to Base address + 0xC000AE
Method 2: Make one 32 bits write.
For low-speed channels 0 – 3:
Write 0x0012C4B0 to Base address + 0xC0005C
For high-speed channels 4 – 5:
Write 0x00E13A8E to Base address + 0xC000AE
Example 2: Setting Channel 2 to Acquire 200,000 Samples
The number of samples acquired in Linear mode by a channel is determined by the value
programmed in the Sample Points register of the respective channel. In hexadecimal format,
200,000 corresponds to 0x30D40. The Sample Points register for Channel 2 is composed of two
16-bit registers located at offsets 0xC00060 (the MS, bits D19 - D16) and 0xC00062 (the LS, bits
D15 - D0).
Method 1: Make two 16 bits writes.

Write 0x0D40 @ Base address + 0xC00062
Method 2: Make one 32 bits write.
Write 0x00030D40 @ Base address + 0xC00060
Example 3: Setting Channel 2 to Pre-acquire 100,000 Samples
The acquisition of samples starts when a trigger point is met or when a trigger is forced by setting
the corresponding Force bit. However, samples can be collected before the occurrence of the
trigger point. These samples are called Pre-Trigger Points. The number of Pre-Trigger Points to be
acquired is determined by the value programmed in the Pre-Trigger Points register of the
respective channel.
In hexadecimal format, 100,000 corresponds to 0x186A0. The Pre-Trigger Points register for
Channel 2 is composed of two 16-bit registers located at offsets 0xC00064 (the MS, bits D19 -
D16) and 0xC00066 (the LS, bits D15 - D0).
Method 1: Make two 16 bits writes.
Write 0x0001 @ Base address + 0xC00064
Write 0x86A0 @ Base address + 0xC00066
Method 2: Make one 32 bits write.
Write 0x000186A0 @ Base address + 0xC00064
The total number of samples acquired is set by the Sample Points, and the number of samples
stored after the trigger event is:
(Sample Points) – (Pre-Trigger Points)
Note
Pre-Trigger Points must be less than Sample Points (Pre-Trigger Points < Sample Points).
Example 4: Setting Channel 2 to Delay Acquisition by 1,500,000 Samples
The acquisition of samples starts when a trigger point is met or when a trigger is forced by setting
the corresponding Force bit. If the acquisition is to be triggered by a trigger event (signal trigger,
external trigger or forced trigger) the first sample is collected either immediately, within one
sample clock period from the moment when the trigger occurs or after a Delay Period. The Delay
Period is determined by the value programmed in the Trigger Delay register of the respective
channel. The Delay Period is based on the Sample Rate value. If the value in the Trigger Delay
register is set to zero, the sampling starts immediately after the trigger event. If the Trigger Delay
register is set to 100 (0x64), for example, then Sample Zero is taken 100 sample clocks after the
trigger event.
In hexadecimal format, 1,500,000 corresponds to 0x16E360. The Trigger Delay register for
Channel 2 is composed of two 16-bit registers, located at offsets 0xC00068 (the MS, bits D31 -
D16) and 0xC0006A (the LS, bits D15 - D0).
Method 1: Make two 16 bits writes.
Write 0x0016 @ Base address + 0xC00068
Write 0xE360 @ Base address + 0xC0006A
Method 2: Make one 32 bits write.

Write 0x0016E360 @ Base address + 0xC00068
If the Sample Rate register from Example 1 (0x0012C4B0 corresponding to a sample rate of
123 ms) and the Trigger Delay in Example 4 above are set on the SVM2608, the first sample is
taken 1,500,000 x 123 ms = 184,500 seconds (51.25 hours!!!) after the trigger event.
Example 5: Setting Channel 2 and 4 Timeout Register to Timeout after 2.5 s
The Timeout function is designed to prevent the SVM2608 from encountering indefinite time
periods where the module waits for an external trigger event. The clock for the timeout counter is
generated by dividing the reference clock (0.1 µs (10 MHz) for the low-speed Channels 0 – 3 and
8.333 ns (120 MHz) for high-speed channels 4 and 5), generated by an on-board oscillator, by a
preset value determined by bits 15 - 13 of the Timeout register of the respective channel. This is
called the Timeout Base Clock (or TOSEL). Bits 12 - 0 in the TIMEOUT register load a counter
(Timeout Counter) that determines the number of Timeout Base Clocks after which the timeout
flag is set.
To determine the minimum Timeout Base Clock for Channel 2, divide the desired Timeout value
by the maximum value allowed in the Timeout Counter register and round it up to the next highest
value available:
TIMEOUT BASE CLOCK ≥ TIMEOUT VALUE / (213 -1) = 2.5 s / 8191 ≈ 0.305 ms
The nearest Timeout Base Clock available, which is greater than or equal to 0.305 ms, is 1 ms. Set
the TOSEL bits in the Timeout register to ‘010’.
To determine the value for the Timeout Counter, divide the desired Timeout value by the Timeout
Base Clock:
TIMEOUT COUNTER = TIMEOUT / TIMEOUT BASE CLOCK
= 2.5 s / 1 ms
= 2.5 s / 10-3 s
= 2,500
The value that needs to be programmed in the Timeout Counter is 2,500 = 0x9C4
The value which needs to be programmed into the Timeout register is determined by multiplying
the Timeout Base by 213 and adding it to the Timeout Counter value:
TIMEOUT REGISTER = TIMEOUT BASE * 213 + TIMEOUT COUNTER
= 2 * 8192 + 2500
= 18884
= 0x49C4
To program the Timeout value for Channel 2, write 0x49C4 at address 0xC00044.
The Timeout Counter starts counting down from the value it is loaded with after the channel is
Armed, all the Pre-Trigger samples (if any were specified) are acquired and the Delay Points (if
any were specified) are acquired. It stops counting as soon as either a trigger event occurs or when
it reaches zero. Terminating (aborting) the acquisition by resetting the ARM bit also stops the
Timeout counter.
If the Timeout Counter reaches zero, the Timeout Occurred flag is asserted.
