CABLES TO CONNECT THE SECOND-LEVEL DISABLE INPUTS TO THE FSTD SECOND-LEVEL DISABLE INPUTS =============================================================================== When a 2nd Level Disable (All Nodes in Queue Busy) signal enters the framework through the M101 Patch Panel, it must be distributed to the associated FSTD card. This is done using two harnesses made from twisted-pair cable. On one end of each harness is an AMP 34-contact header (32 contacts are used). On the other end of each harness are 4 AMP 8-contact headers, one header per FSTD card. These are then plugged into the 2nd Level Disable inputs on the back of the FSTD. They are loaded in the standard way, with red on top. CABLES TO CONNECT THE FRONT-END BUSY DIGIMEM CARD OUTPUTS TO THE FSTD SPECIFIC TRIGGER DISABLE INPUTS =============================================================================== When a front-end unit is busy, it is necessary to disable all Specific Triggers that would result in a Start Digitize signal for that unit. This is done using a DIGIMEM card matrix that is programmed with the inverse of the Specific Trigger to Start Digitize signal DIGIMEM matrix. That is, if the input to this DIGIMEM matrix is Front End Busy signals, the output will be the Specific Triggers to be disabled. These signals are gathered up in two AMP 34 Contact Housings (one housing for Specific Triggers 1-16, the other housing for Specific Triggers 17-32). These plug into a 64-pin connector in the Patch Panel in rack M101. This is exactly like the Start Digitize DIGIMEM-to-TLM connection (also two 34-pin housings plugged into one 64-pin connector). The bits are in reverse order (Specific Trigger 1 disable is on pins 63 and 64 of the 64-pin connector). However, they are in correct order and polarity on the back side of the patch panel. From the back of the Patch Panel, the signals will be distributed to the Aux Disable 1 input of each Specific Trigger FSTD card by twisted pair cables. Also, another 64 pin header on the Patch Panel is wire-wrapped to the straight through header. This extra header is for the purpose of reading the Specific Trigger Disable Signals using the Auxiliary Data IMLRO. A twisted-pair ribbon cable connects this header to bits 33-64 of the Auxiliary Data IMLRO.
