9100A-017
1-2
160 pins. The ability to loop on a set of vectors from 1 to 65536
times makes the maximum effective depth of the test vector
536,870,912 patterns.
The Vector Output I/O Module input response capabilities are
identical to the 9100-003 Parallel I/O Module. Responses may
be gathered at clock speeds up to 10 MHz for signature analysis
and frequency/count measurement.
BUS EMULATION
1.3.
The high speed vector generation allows the module to emulate
many common busses. An external input, WAIT, can be used to
synchronize the output vectors to bus cycle events. Separate
drive and receive clocks allows bus cycles to be simulated with
many drive patterns, and data input can be sampled on com-
mand.
TEST VECTOR PATTERN GENERATION
1.4.
The generation of the test vector patterns can be accomplished in
two ways: using the 9100A Editor or downloading from another
system.
The 9100A Editor has been enhanced to effectively enter test
vectors for the 9100A-017. Vectors can be entered in user-pro-
grammable groups in hexadecimal notation, binary notation, or a
mixture of both. The vector editor displays the vector
information in the order set by the pin group assignments. Each
vector is displayed in its position in the driving sequence.
Test vectors generated on a CAE workstation can be down-
loaded into the 9100A. Once they are in the 9100A, these vec-
tors can then be translated to the 9100A vector format, making
them suitable for use with the 9100A-017.
Several new Test Language (TL/1) functions have been added to
make use of the new capabilities of the 9100A-017. Loading the
vectors from the 9100A hard disk to each module during pro-
gram execution requires a maximum of 3 seconds, with 1 sec-
ond typical.
