WARNINGS
The following general safety precautions must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product.
Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of design,
manufacture, and intended use of the product. Hewlett-Packard Company assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to
comply with these requirements.
Ground the equipment: For Safety Class 1 equipment (equipment having a protective earth terminal), an uninterruptible safety earth
ground must be provided from the mains power source to the product input wiring terminals or supplied power cable.
DO NOT operate the product in an explosive atmosphere or in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.
For continued protection against fire, replace the line fuse(s) only with fuse(s) of the same voltage and current rating and type.
DO NOT use repaired fuses or short-circuited fuse holders.
Keep away from live circuits: Operating personnel must not remove equipment covers or shields. Procedures involving the removal
of covers or shields are for use by service-trained personnel only. Under certain conditions, dangerous voltages may exist even with the
equipment switched off. To avoid dangerous electrical shock, DO NOT perform procedures involving cover or shield removal unless
you are qualified to do so.

Chapter 1
Getting Started
About This Chapter
Except where noted, all references to the HP E1413 apply to the
HP E1313. This chapter will explain hardware configuration before
installation in a VXIbus mainframe. By attending to each of these
configuration items, your HP Scanning A/D Converter module will not need
to be removed from its mainframe later. Chapter contents include:
•Configuring the HP Scanning A/D Converter
Module. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 15
•Instrument Drivers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 29
•About Example Programs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 29
•Verifying a Successful Configuration . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 32
Configuring the HP Scanning A/D Converter Module
There are several aspects to configuring the module before installing it in a
VXIbus mainframe. They are:
•Setting the Logical Address Switch. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 16
•Installing HP E1313 Signal Conditioning Plug-ons . . . . . . . . Page 18
•Installing HP E1413 Signal Conditioning Plug-ons . . . . . . . . Page 22
•Disabling the Input Protect Feature. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 26
•Disabling Flash Memory Access. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Page 26
For most applications you will only need to change the logical address
switch prior to installation. The other settings can be used as delivered.
Switch/Jumper Setting
Logical Address Switch 24
Input Protect Jumper Protected
Flash Memory Protect Jumper PROG
Note Setting the VXIbus Interrupt Level: The HP Scanning A/D Converters use
a default VXIbus interrupt level of 1. The default setting is made at power-on
and after a *RST command. You can change the interrupt level by executing
the DIAGnostic:INTerrupt[:LINe] command in your application program.

Setting the Logical
Address Switch Follow Figures 1-1 and 1-2, and ignore any switch numbering printed on the
logical address switch. When installing more than one HP Scanning A/D
Converter in a single VXIbus mainframe, set each instrument to a different
logical address.
