| Racal VXI card |
| (1/1) |
| rcm99:
I obtained a Racal 6062 VXI card that does exactly what I need for a project. This card has 4 channels of DAC and 4 channels of ADC. I plug it into a VXI mainframe as the _only_ card (no controller yet) and I get both "failed" and "access" LEDs. Another card (HP DMM) seems to behave better -- "failed" flashes for a few seconds upon power-up, then goes out. I have done the obvious checks of fuses, system voltages, etc. Is the hard simply dead, or will populating the mainframe with a controller make any difference? Thanks much for any advice ... |

For an vxi or pxi frame, you need a dedicated controller / cpu ?? Unless the card needs only a supply and can run autonomous ??? Never saw this ?? a cpu module was always there ?? |

Hi rcm99, for all VXI-mainframes one needs a System-controller in slot 0. Can be a E1405/06 (GPIB and RS232) or E8491 (Firewire) or MXI-card with the cable and PCI-card in the PC. ....or an embeded PC. Have you got manuals and software for the card? Best regards and good luck. |

Yes I have Docs on the Racal card and expecting a GPIB controller 1406 soon! Thanks for the reply. Sounds like I **might** not be totally dead in the water with the Racal card! |
