1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 How to Use This Manual
1.1.1 Purpose
This document is a reference manual for the GT200 VME card. It provides a physical and
functional description of the GT200 VME card. The manual describes how to unpack, set
up, install, and operate the hardware.
1.1.2 Scope
This information is intended for systems designers, engineers, and network installation
personnel. You need at least a systems level understanding of general computer
processing, computer networking, and hardware operation to effectively use this manual.
Style Conventions
• Called functions are italicized. For example, OpenConnect().
• Data types are italicized. For example, int.
• Function parameters are bolded. For example, Action.
• Path names are italicized. For example, utility/sw/cfg.
• File names are bolded. For example, config.c.
• Path file names are italicized and bolded. For example, utility/sw/cfg/config.c.
• Hexadecimal values are written with a “0x” prefix. For example, 0x7e.
• For signals on hardware products, an ‘Active Low’ is represented by prefixing
the signal name with a slash (/). For example, /SYNC.
• Code and monitor screen displays of input and output are boxed and indented on
a separate line. Text that represents user input is bolded. Text that the computer
displays on the screen is not bolded. For example:
C:\ls
file1 file2 file3
• Large samples of code are Courier font, at least one size less than context, and
are usually on a separate page or in an appendix.
