6. Setup and Operation
This chapter is a quick setup guide, and outlines the operation of the Model 9660 Digi -
tal Signal Processor. More detailed information about specific functions can be found
in Chapters 2 through 6 and the Appendices at the end of the manual. Following the
procedures below will make you familiar enough with the instrument to be able to use
it effectively in many situations.
Setting the ICB Address
The ICB Address Selector (SW1) is a 16-position rotary switch accessible through a
hole in the right side-cover. Its position and address selection must be unique in any
one ICB system. That is, it must be different from all other ICB modules connected to
the associated Instrument Control Bus (ICB). For individual modules, the factory de-
fault address is #1; for systems, the address will vary for each module in the system.
For complete information on setting up and configuring your Genie Spectroscopy sys-
tem, please refer to the Genie manual set for your Genie software.
Installing the 9660 in a NIM Bin
The Model 9660 ICB Digital Signal Processor requires a NIM Bin which provides
±
6
volts. The Canberra Model 2100 Bin and Power Supply, or equivalent bin and power
supply systems conforming to the mechanical and electrical standard set by DOE/ER-
0457T will accommodate the Model 9660. The right side cover of the two-width NIM
module acts as a guide for insertion of the instrument. The module is secured in place
by turning the two front panel captive screws clockwise until finger tight. It is recom-
mended that the NIM bin power switch be OFF whenever the module is installed or
removed.
The Model 9660 can be operated where the ambient air temperature is between 0
°
C
and 50
°
C (+126
°
F maximum). Perforations in the top and bottom sides permit cool-
ing air to circulate through the module. When rack mounted with heat generating
equipment, adequate clearance should be provided to allow for sufficient air flow
through both perforated top and bottom covers of the NIM bin.
