Device Type
Register
The Device Type Register is a VXIbus required register. This register
indicates the module’s configuration as either an 8-channel DAC or a
16-channel DAC. A read of this register returns 5230
16
(21040 decimal) if
the module is configured as a 16-channel DAC, or 5237
16
(21047 decimal)
if the module is configured as an 8-channel DAC.

VXI Status/Control
Register
The VXI Status/Control Register is a VXIbus required register. As a READ
register, the value returned indicates the status of A24 memory access, the
MODID* line, and module readiness. As a WRITE register, the value
written can control the state of the A24 memory access, the control of the
VXIbus SYSFAIL* line, and perform a module reset.

READ A24 ACT: A one (1) in this field indicates that A24 memory can be
accessed (is active) via A24 addressing. A zero (0) indicates that A24
memory cannot be accessed via A24 addressing (is inactive). This bit
reflects the state of the write register A24 EN bit.
MODID*: A one (1) in this field indicates the module is not selected via
the P2 MODID line. A zero (0) in this field indicates the module is selected
by a high state on the P2 MODID line.
Ready: A one (1) in this field, together with a one (1) in the Passed bit,
indicates the module is ready for operation. A zero (0) in this field, together
with a 0 in the Passed bit, indicates the module failed initialization.
