Identify several AIM ARINC Boards on a bench

[LucD]

Hello everyone!

I'm developping a software that shall pilote 2 AIM ARINC boards : ACX429 8, using the BSP v8.

For each board there is a bmodule that is an integer identifying the board. When there is only one board in the bench the bmodule = 0.

But when there is 2 boards, how can we tell which one is 0 and which one is 1 ?

Thanks for your help!

Can you retrieve the s/n of the board?

[LucD]

Yes, I have access to the PXI chassis and if the S/N is as usual on the board, I can retreive it.

I think he is asking whether you can read, electronically, the board s/n

[MarcoMauri]

Exactly.

Retrieving the s/n of the board (programmatically) let you pair the id (0 or 1) with the physical object.

That's what I did with Ballard ARINC boards, but should be possiblie also in your case.

Regards

Marco

Actually MarcoMauri was write.

I know how to get the serial number. The problem that I'm facing is that it seems like I can only pilote one board at a time. I can access by soft the S/N of each board if there is one board in the PXI. As soon as I put both in, I have systematically an error on the second S/N request.
