    6. Interrupt Level (IRQ) The DS-200/300 allows the use of any interrupt level in the range IRQ2 to IRQ7, IRQ10 to IRQ12, IRQ14, or IRQ15, selected using jumper block J3 (for Serial 0) or J4 (for Serial 1). In Figure 12 , the factory default settings for Serial 0 and Serial 1 are shown. To select a different IRQ, move the jumper to the appropriate p ...

    6.1 Interrupt Sharing Both ports on the DS-200/300 can share the same interrupt leve l or they can share their interrupt with another Quatech adapter supporting sharable interrupts. Jumper J2 can be used to connect the UART generated interrupt directly to the selected IRQ or to enable the interrupt sharing circuit. In either case, the software driv ...

    6.2 Interrupt Status Register The DS-200/300 is equipped with an I nterrupt Status Register (ISR) which can be used to simplify the servicing of shared interrupts. This register is located at [base address+7] along with the Options Register . Like the OR, the SP jumper must be removed to access the ISR. To further indicate an access to t his regist ...

    7.1 RTS/CTS handshake Transmission of RTS, combined with reception of CTS, allows for hardware handshaking (data flow control) between the UART and the external device. RTS is transmitted on AUXOUT by connecting pins 4 and 5 of the jumper pack. CTS is received on AUXIN by connecting pins 1 and 2 of the jumper pack. If RTS/CTS handshaking is not des ...

    This is the output clock signal used by the transmitter portion of the UART. It is generally connected to the UART's own receive clock input (RCLK). This is done by connecting pins 3 and 6 of the jumper pack. If desired, XCLK can be transmitted to an external source over the AUXOUT line by connecting pins 5 and 6 of the jumper pack. Figure 19 ...

    7.5 Half Duplex/Full Duplex selection Using jumper packs J6 and J8, the channels can be configured to operate in half duplex mode. This causes the transmitters to be controlled by either the Data Terminal Ready (DTR) or the Request to Send (RTS) output from the UART. In half duplex mode, if the UART signal (DTR or RTS) is asserted (logic 1), the tr ...
