Safety
Considerations This product is a Safety Class I instrument that is provided with a protective
earth terminal when installed in the mainframe. Check the mainframe,
Digital I/O Module, and all related documentation for safety markings and
instructions before operation or service.
Refer to the WARNINGS page (page iii) in this manual for a summary of
safety information. Safety information for preventive maintenance, testing,
and service follows and is also found throughout this manual.
Warnings This section contains WARNINGS which must be followed for your
protection when performing equipment maintenance or repair.
WARNING SERVICE-TRAINED PERSONNEL ONLY. The information in this
manual is for service-trained personnel who are familiar with
electronic circuitry and are aware of the hazards involved. To
avoid personal injury or damage to the instrument, do not
perform procedures in this manual or do any servicing unless
you are qualified to do so.
CHECK MAINFRAME POWER SETTINGS. Before applying
power, verify that the mainframe setting matches the line
voltage and that the correct fuse is installed. An uninterruptible
safety earth ground must be provided from the main power
source to the supplied power cord set.
GROUNDING REQUIREMENTS. Interruption of the protective
(grounding) conductor (inside or outside the mainframe) or
disconnecting the protective earth terminal will cause a
potential shock hazard that could result in personal injury.
(Grounding one conductor of a two-conductor outlet is not
sufficient protection.)
IMPAIRED PROTECTION. Whenever it is likely that instrument
protection has been impaired, the mainframe must be made
inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.
REMOVE POWER IF POSSIBLE. Some procedures in this
manual may be performed with power supplied to the
mainframe while protective covers are removed. Energy
available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal
injury. (If maintenance can be performed without power applied,
the power should be removed.)
10 General Information Chapter 1

WARNING USING AUTOTRANSFORMERS. If the mainframe is to be
energized via an autotransformer (for voltage reduction) make
sure the common terminal is connected to neutral (that is, the
grounded side of the main’s supply).
CAPACITOR VOLTAGES. Capacitors inside the mainframe may
remain charged even when the mainframe has been
disconnected from its source of supply.
USE PROPER FUSES. For continued protection against fire
hazard, replace the line fuses only with fuses of the same
current rating and type (such as normal blow, time delay, etc.).
Do not use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuseholders.
Cautions This section contains CAUTIONS which must be followed to avoid damage
to the equipment when performing instrument maintenance or repair.
CAUTION MAXIMUM VOLTAGE/CURRENT. The maximum voltage that may
be applied between any connector pin and any other point, shield, or
chassis is 5 VPeak.
STATIC ELECTRICITY. Static electricity is a major cause of
component failure. To prevent damage to the electrical components in
the Digital I/O module, observe anti-static techniques whenever
working on a Digital I/O module.
Chapter 1 General Information 11

Digital I/O
Description The HP E1330A/B Digital I/O Module is an "instrument" in a VXIbus
mainframe. As such, each Digital I/O module is assigned an error queue,
input and output buffers, and a status register.
NOTE Instruments are based on the logical addresses of the plug-in modules. See
the HP 75000 Series B Installation and Getting Started Guide to set the
addresses to create an instrument.
HP E1330A/B
Description The HP E1330A/B provides four independent 8-bit digital I/O ports
compatible with TTL logic levels. Each port can be software configured for
operation as input or output with either positive or negative true logic. The
ports can be combined to provide 16 bit (WORD) or 32 bit (LWORD)
operations. In addition to the eight digital data lines, six handshake lines are
included per port. The handshake lines can also be combined (via jumpers
on the component assembly) to provide proper handshaking for combined
ports. The data lines of each port are provided with a jumpered pull-up for
dry contact closure sensing. User connections to the Digital I/O module are
made through two 60-pin connectors on the rear panel.
The HP E1330B added SCPI command capabilities related to LWORD and
Block operations. The procedures in this manual work equally well with
either an HP E1330A or HP E1330B.
Digital I/O Module
Specifications See Appendix A of the HP E1330A/B User’s Manual for HP E1330A/B
specifications. These specifications are the performance standards or limits
against which the instrument may be tested.
Digital I/O Module
Environment The recommended operating environment for the HP E1330A/B Digital I/O
module is:
Environment Temperature Humidity
Operating 0oC to +55oC <65% relative (0oC to +40oC)
Storage and
Shipment -40oC to +75oC <65% relative (0oC to +40oC)
12 General Information Chapter 1

Digital I/O Module
Serial Numbers Digital I/O modules covered by this manual are identified by a serial
number prefix listed on the title page. Hewlett-Packard uses a two-part
serial number in the form XXXXAYYYYY, where XXXX is the serial
prefix, A is the country of origin (A=USA), and YYYYY is the serial
suffix. The serial number prefix identifies a series of identical instruments.
The serial number suffix is assigned sequentially to each instrument.
The serial number plate is located on the backplane connector. If the serial
number prefix of your instrument is greater than the one listed on the title
page, a Manual Update (as required) will explain how to adapt this manual
to your instrument.

Verification Tests
Introduction This chapter describes the verification tests for the HP E1330A/B modules.
The three levels of test procedures described in this chapter are used to
verify that the HP E1330A/B:
•is functional (Functional Verification Test)
•meets selected testable specifications (Operation Verification)
•meets all testable specifications (Performance Verification)
Test Conditions /
Procedures See Table 1-1 for test equipment requirements. You should complete the
Performance Verification tests at least once a year. For heavy use or severe
operating environments, perform the tests more often. The verification tests
assume that the person performing the tests understands how to operate the
mainframe, the module, and the specified test equipment. The test
procedures do not specify equipment settings for test equipment except in
general terms. It is assumed that a qualified, service-trained technician will
select and connect the cables, adapters, and probes required for the test.
Performance Test
Record The results of each Performance Verification test may be recorded in Table
2-1, Performance Test Record, at the end of this chapter. You can make a

used to verify that the module is connected properly and is responding to a
basic command.
Procedure 1. Verify that the module is properly installed in mainframe
2. Verify that the mainframe has passed its power-on test.
3. Send *IDN? to the module (see example following)
4. The return should be as follows (revision number may vary):
HEWLETT-PACKARD,E1330A,0,A.06.00
NOTES If the primary address setting, secondary address setting, or the interface
select code is set incorrectly, the module will not respond. Verify proper
address selection before troubleshooting.
Both the HP E1330A and HP E1330B return the string shown in Step 4. The
HP E1330B will return "E1330A" in response to the *IDN? query.
Example An example follows which uses an HP 9000 Series 300 computer with HP
BASIC and a module address of 70918.
10 DIM A$[100]
20 OUTPUT 70918;"*IDN?" Send the ID command
30 ENTER 70918;A$ Get response
40 PRINT A$
50 END
Operation
Verification
Test
The procedures in this section are used to provide a high level of confidence
that the module is meeting published specifications. The Operation
Verification test is a subset of the Performance Verification tests and is
suitable for checkout after performing repairs.
The Operation Verification Test is performed by completing the Digital
Test (Test 2-1) as described in the Performance Verification test procedures.
This test is usually sufficient to verify that the module is meeting its
specifications.

Performance
Verification
Tests
The procedure in this section is used to test the module’s electrical
performance using the specifications in Appendix A — Specifications of the
HP E1330A/B Modules User’s Manual as the performance standard.
The Performance Verification test is a test of each Digital I/O line on each
port and a test of the three main handshake lines for each port. This test is
sufficient to determine that the module is operating within specifications.
This test is suitable for incoming inspection, troubleshooting, and
preventive maintenance.
Test Cable A test cable is required to run the Performance Verification test. This test
cable is available from Hewlett-Packard (Part Number E1330-61603).
Test 2-1: Digital
Test This test verifies that all ports meet the specification for the module.
Data Line Test 1. Setup and Install the Digital I/O module
•Remove power from the mainframe. Remove HP E1330A/B
from the mainframe (as required).
•Record the locations of the Pull-up Enable and any FLG
Combine jumpers on the HP E1330A/B.
•Set Port 0 and Port 1 Pull-up Enable jumpers to the Enable
position as shown in Figure 2-1.
•Set Port 2 and Port 3 Pull-up Enable jumpers to the Disable
position as shown in Figure 2-1.
•Remove any FLG Combine jumpers installed.
•Install the HP E1330A/B in the mainframe.
•Install the Test Cable as shown in Figure 2-2.
•Turn the mainframe power ON.
2. Check Port 0 Write and Port 2 Read
•Send *RST to the module.
•Send SOUR:DIG:DATA0 #B00000001 to the module.
•Send MEAS:DIG:DATA2? to the module.
•Enter the response and compare to the binary data sent.
•Repeat this step using the following binary data strings:
"00000010", 00000100", "00001000",
"00010000","00100000","01000000",and "10000000". Use the
command SOUR:DIG:DATA0 #Bssssssss where ssssssss = the
binary data string.
•Enter a Pass or Fail in Table 2-1.
