Notes

Each incremental value of the A24 Window offsets the window by 32 bytes.
Up to 512 bytes of A24 space can be pointed to.

A24 Window values 8

16

through F

16

point to Calibration Registers.

Calibration Registers 00100

16

through 001BE

16

are located in non-volatile

(FLASH) memory. Writing to this memory requires a complicated sequence
of register accesses not documented here. It is recommended that calibration
be performed using the SCPI driver for the module, not register access.

Main_DAC

Immediate

Registers

The Main_DAC Immediate Registers are used to program the next output
value on a channel. There are 16 registers, one for each output channel. The
register at base + 40

16

programs channel 1, base + 42

16

programs channel 2,

up to base +5E

16

to program channel 16. Values loaded in these registers are

applied to the output immediately (no trigger condition is required).

Output Value

Output Value: Writing a 16-bit value to this field outputs the value on the
channel selected by the base address. The 16-bit value is a 2’s complement
number. Scaling is based upon 16 V maximum for voltage mode and .020
Amps for current mode.

Main_DAC

Triggered Registers

The Main_DAC Triggered Registers are used to program the next output
value on a channel. There are 16 registers, one for each output channel.
The register at base + 60

16

programs channel 1, base + 62

16

programs

channel 2, up to base +7E

16

to program channel 16. Values loaded in these

registers are applied to the output(s) following the next trigger event.
