VXI VT1433B - Manual (Page 186)

In order to avoid contention and/or invalid data reads, there are certain rules that
must be observed:
5 A controller must not write to any of the RAM registers when Command/Parameter
Ready is false.
6 The DSP must not write to any of the RAM registers when either
Command/Parameter Ready or Query Response Ready is true.
7 A controller must not read any of the RAM registers when Query Response Ready
is false.
8 The DSP must not read any of the RAM registers when Command/Parameter
Ready is true.
9 When writing a command together with parameter, a controller must always write
to the Command Register last.
10 When executing a command that requires it to return response data, the DSP must
set the Query Response Ready bit no later than the Command/Parameter Ready bit.
11 The DSP must not clear the Done bit while Command/Parameter Ready is true.
12 The DSP must not change the Err* bit while Done is true.
13 A controller must not regard the done bits a valid while Command/Parameter
Ready is false.
14 A controller must not regard the Err* bit as valid while Done is false.
Controller Protocol Examples
There are three basic procedures used by a controller, Write Command, Read
Response and Wait for Done. These can be combined for more complex
sequences.
Write Command
This is the procedure to send a command to the DSP.
15 Wait for Command/Parameter Ready true.
16 Write any parameters to the Parameter registers and RAM.
17 Write the command to the Command register.
Read Response
This is the procedure for reading a response to query command.
18 Wait for Query Response Ready true.
19 Read the data from the Query Response register and any additional data from the
Parameter registers and RAM.
