6–2
A MicroVAX information processor, PLC–5/250, or other device in the
Pyramid Integrator rack can request or manipulate the following data through
the backplane.
•
Obtain Color CVIM module inspection result information. Refer to
Appendix B & C.
•
Upload or download Color CVIM module configurations for inspections.
Refer to Appendix D (CFG Host).
•
Issue Read/Write commands between the following Color CVIM module
memory locations (CFG Host):
Color CVIM module Random Access Memory (RAM) and Electrically
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM).
Color CVIM module RAM and RAM card. The RAM card slides into a
slot on front of the Color CVIM module.
Color CVIM module RAM and host memory.
•
Change run–time display menus (SYS Host).
•
Enable/Disable local I/O board (SYS Host).
•
Force local I/O On or Off (SYS Host).
Note: When communicating with a device through the Pyramid Integrator
backplane, Color CVIM module results are posted in shared memory
immediately after processing. When communicating with a device through
the other ports, results are only available at the end of the inspection cycle.
If you are using the Pyramid Integrator backplane for communications, you
must configure the Color CVIM module as follows:
Select the backplane for communications:
Note: This step is not required if you are only reading results.
1. Select the setup menu <Setup>.
2. Select the environment menu <Envir/Cam>.
3. Select the system menu <System>.
4. Select a Host menu <CFG Host:> or <SYS Host:>.
