HP E1432A Interrupt Behavior
Interrupt Setup
The HP E1432A VXI module can be programmed to interrupt a host
computer using the VME interrupt lines. VME provides seven such lines,
and the HP E1432A module can be told to use any one of them (see
e1432_set_interrupt_priority).
The HP 1432A can interrupt the host computer in response to different
events. You can specify a mask of events on which to interrupt. This mask
is created by OR-ing together the various conditions that the you want.
The following table, copied from the e1432_set_interrupt_mask manual page,
shows the conditions that can cause an interrupt:
