FOUTEN*
Forced Output Enable—This bit determines whether the 
module will drive the MCH0± pins on the rear signal 
connector with either the selected channel output or the 
MTEMP signal, depending on the state of RTEMP. If 
FOUTEN* is cleared to zero, the MCH0± pins will be 
driven through a buffer by the selected channel output or 
the MTEMP line. If FOUTEN* is set to one, the MCH0± 
pins will not be driven by the selected channel output or 
MTEMP, unless SCANCON is active (low) and the 
SCANCONEN bit is cleared. If the selected channel 
output or MTEMP is driving the output buffer, it will drive 
Analog Bus 0 if AB0EN is set. If nothing is driving the 
output buffer, the SCXI-1121 output will saturate.
Slot 0 Register Descriptions
Slot 0 has three registers. The Slot-Select Register is a 16-bit, write-only 
register that determines with which slot the data acquisition board will 
speak when SLOT0SEL* is released high. In the case of the SCXI-1001 
chassis, the Slot-Select Register also determines in which chassis the 
desired slot is. The FIFO Register is a 16-bit, write-only register used for 
storing the Slot 0 scan list that determines the chassis scan sequence. The 
Hardscan Control Register (HSCR) is an 8-bit, write-only register used for 
setting up the timing circuitry in Slot 0. The Slot-Select Register is written 
to by using the SLOT0SEL* line. The HSCR and the FIFO Register are 
written to as if they were registers located on modules in Slots 13 and 14. 
It is recommended that you maintain software copies of the Slot-Select 
Register, HSCRs, and all the Slot 0 scan lists that correspond to the writes 
to FIFO Registers.
If you are using multiple chassis, it is important to understand the 
architectural differences of the Slot-Select Register as compared to the 
HSCR and the FIFO Register. Although each chassis has its own physical 
Slot-Select Register, all are written to at the same time. The jumper settings 
in Slot 0 of a chassis determine with which chassis number Slot 0 is 
identified. From the software perspective, only one Slot-Select Register 
exists in a system composed of multiple chassis. The HSCR and FIFO 
Register, on the other hand, are unique to each chassis and you must 
program them separately.
