SM7100 Introduction 9
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
OVERVIEW
The SM7100 Microwave Matrix is a member of the VXI Technology SMIP II™ (Switch
Modularity Interface Platform) family. It offers a modular design allowing custom switching
configurations in a single chassis.
The SM7100 is a double-wide, C-size VXI module, which can support customized microwave
switch configurations for many applications.
Using the SMIP II family for microwave switching, the user obtains the following benefits over
other VXI microwave switch solutions:
Density: Up to eight (1x6) microwave relays can be housed in a double-wide VXIbus
slot, saving a complete C-Size slot.
Weight: The miniature relay technology reduces the overall weight considerably. Where
possible, ultralight cabling is used maintaining the total weight under five
pounds.
PROGRAMMING
The SMIP II family of switch modules is programmed using direct register access for fast data
throughput.
Automatic Scanning
A predefined sequence of channels can be programmed into an extensive scan list that can be
incremented by a trigger. This approach relieves the host controller from having to tie up the
VXIbus backplane when scanning.
VXI Technology, Inc.
10 SM7100 Introduction
Programmable Timing Delays
A delay can be programmed between relay closures to allow for settling times of other system
resources. When used with triggers, a controlled synchronous switching system can easily be
configured.
Safety Interrupt
This is a programmable fail-safe feature that allows all relays to open based upon the occurrence
of a selected TTL backplane trigger. This allows signals to be removed from the unit under test if
a system fail-safe occurs, such as inadvertent removal of a test adapter.

SECTION 2
PREPARATION FOR USE
INTRODUCTION
When the SMIP is unpacked from its shipping carton, the contents should include the following
items:
(1) SMIP VXIbus module
(1) SM7100 Microwave Matrix User’s Manual (this manual)
All components should be immediately inspected for damage upon receipt of the unit.
Once the SMIP II is assessed to be in good condition, it may be installed into an appropriate C-
size or D-size VXIbus chassis in any slot other than slot zero. The chassis should be checked to
ensure that it is capable of providing adequate power and cooling for the SMIP II. Once the
chassis is found adequate, the SMIP’s logical address and the chassis’ backplane jumpers should
be configured prior to the SMIP’s installation.
CALCULATING SYSTEM POWER AND COOLING REQUIREMENTS
It is imperative that the chassis provide adequate power and cooling for this module. Referring to
the chassis operation manual, confirm that the power budget for the system (the chassis and all
modules installed therein) is not exceeded and that the cooling system can provide adequate
airflow at the specified backpressure.
It should be noted that if the chassis cannot provide adequate power to the module, the instrument
may not perform to specification or possibly not operate at all. In addition, if adequate cooling is
not provided, the reliability of the instrument will be jeopardized and permanent damage may
occur. Damage found to have occurred due to inadequate cooling would also void the warranty of
the module.
SETTING THE CHASSIS BACKPLANE JUMPERS
Please refer to the chassis operation manual for further details on setting the backplane jumpers.
VXI Technology, Inc.
12 SM7100 Preparation for Use
SETTING THE LOGICAL ADDRESS
The logical address of the SMIP II is set by two rotary switches located on the top edge of the
interface card, near the backplane connectors. Each switch is labeled with positions 0 through F.
The switch closer to the front panel of the module is the least significant bit (LSB or “Front”),
and the switch located towards the back of the module is the most significant bit (MSB or
“Back”). To set the Logical Address (LA), simply rotate the pointer to the desired value. For
example, to set the LA to 25, first convert the decimal number to the hexadecimal value of 19.
Next, set the back switch to 1, and the front switch to 9. See
Figure 2-1. Two examples are
provided below:
Example 1
LA
(decimal)
Divide
by 16
MSB LSB
25 25 / 16 = 1 w/ 9 remaining Divide the decimal value by 16 to get
the MSB and the LSB.
= 0001 1001 The 1 is the MSB, and the remainder of
9 is the LSB.
= 1 9 Convert to hexadecimal. Set the back
switch to 1 and the front switch to 9.

IGURE 2-2: LOGICAL ADDRESS EXAMPLE 2
Here is another way of looking at the conversion: LA = (back switch x 16) + front switch
LA = (1 x 16) + 9
LA = 16 + 9
LA = 25
Set the address switches to FF for dynamic configuration. Upon power-up, the resource manager
will assign a logical address. See Section F - Dynamic Configuration in the VXIbus Specification
for further information.
There is only one logical address per SMIP II base unit. Address assignments for individual
modules are handled through the A24/A32 address space allocation.
SELECTING THE EXTENDED MEMORY SPACE
The Extended Memory Space of the SMIP II is set by a dip switch that is located on the bottom
edge of the interface card. Position 1, located to the left on the dip switch, selects between A24
and A32 memory address space. In the UP position, the SMIP II will request A24 space. In the
DOWN position, the SMIP II will request A32 space. (Position 2 is not currently used.) The
selection of the address space should be based upon the memory allocation requirements of the
system that the SMIP II module will be installed. The amount of memory allocated to the SMIP II
module is independent of the address space selected.

This section details the SM7100 schematics, relays, and pinouts. See Section 4,
Programming, for information on relay addressing.
NOTE Although pin numbers between the SM7000 and the HP equivalent
differ, the signals remain in the same location. This makes it possible to
use the same mating connector and cabling for either system. See Table
3-1 and Figure 3-3 for more information on connector J17.
