DEC ADV11-D Analog to Digital converter with DMA - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

18 Oct 2020

Paul, Jerry,

   Thanks for the suggestion to take a look at DataTranslation!

    Looking in the bitsavers folder for DataTranslation, I found a 239 page July 1986 Data
 Translation manual for the DT3362 series of A/Ds. There are 23 sub-models of that board
but the DT3362-16SE/8DI specifications matches the ADV11-D (A1008).

    The best part is that chapter 8 of this manual has 5 programming examples, two of
which use the DMA capability.With a bit of research (and some luck) I think this will give
me the info I need.

Thanks again,
Mark

I think they were made by Data Translation.

 I just picked a AAV11-D D/A Board for which documentation is also
 scarce. The general design may be similar.  I should be able to reverse
 engineer the analog/digital output section for pin-outs. Lacking
 manuals/source code, if someone has an existing driver or software in
 binary, I would be willing to disassemble that for its secrets.  Perhaps
 these boards mimic the methods used by ADAC or Data Translation used for
 their Qbus products.  Their documentation may also give some insight on
 how to setup these CSR's.

 Regards,
 Jerry
