The front panel TRIG/CLK PORT A(B). CLK10 can be routed into the 
VXI-8360T from another VXI-8360T through the TRIG/CLK PORT 
A(B) on the front panel. Onboard jumpers are used to set this 
configuration.

This jumper allows you to configure the front panel SMB connector on the 
VXI-MXI-Express Series controller.

The default jumper position, shown in Figure C-4a, In, shuts off CLK10 to 
the front panel SMB connector. Use jumpers W4 and W3 to configure the 
front panel SMB as an input for CLK10. In non-Slot 0 operation the SMB 
cannot be configured as an input as only the Slot 0 controller is allowed to 
supply CLK10 to the VXI backplane.

Setting the W2 jumper to Out, as shown in Figure C-4b, routes the VXIbus 
CLK10 to the front panel SMB connector. In non-Slot 0 operation this 
jumper will also route the VXIbus CLK10 out of the front panel SMB 
connector.

When W4—CLK10 Source Select is set to select an external CLK10 
source, W3 is used to select between two external CLK10 sources.

•

The default setting, shown in Figure C-5a, SMB, selects the front 
panel SMB connector as the external CLK10 source. There is no need 
to set the direction of the SMB with jumper W2 as the controller will 
set the SMB as an input for you.

a. IN (default)

b. OUT

Set this jumper to OUT to route
CLK10 out of the front panel
SMB connector.

Setting this jumper to IN turns off
the SMB. Use jumpers W3 and W4
to configure the SMB as an input
when in Slot 0 operation.
