WIRING BETWEEN THE FSTD and DBSC ************************************ The outputs of the FSTD gate control signals going to the DBSC are active HIGH i.e. they go HIGH when the DBSC should be incrementing. The Gate Inputs of the DBSC card are active LOW i.e. the counter can only increment when the Gate Input is LOW and is inhibited from incrementing when the Gate Input is HIGH. The default state of the DBSC Gate Inputs is LOW, thus enabling the counters to increment. To properly control the DBSC, the gate control signals from the FSTD must be inverted before connection to the DBSC. The connections are to be made with single, twisted pair wires terminated in AMP 2-contact headers. Each cable is to be made from wires that are 4" long. When installed, one end (by convention the FSTD end) should be installed with the red wire on top. The other end (again by convention the DBSC end) should be installed with the black wire on top. Each of the 4 channels on a DBSC card has its own serarate Clock Input connection. For their application in the FSTD cell all 4 Clock Inputs on the DBSC card will be wired together using the vias for the terminator resistors for the Clock Inputs (NO terminators are used). Then to bring the DBSC Increment Clock fromm the TSS Bus to the DBSC only one patch cord is used between TSS Bus Signal E on the top AND-OR backplane (MBA=132 in M101, MBA=68 in M102) to the Clock 4 input (J2 pins 25-26) of the lowest DBSC. Then, the Clock 1 line (J2 pins 7-8) is attached to the Clock 1 line of the next DBSC, which has its Clock 4 connected to the DBSC above it. This continues through the 8 DBSCs in each rack. In this fashion, the clock is fed to all DBSCs in the framework.
