When used together with a VBT-325, both modules can be operated from the same terminal or PC by using the "transparent mode" between the two serial ports of the VBT-325. ### Configuration - VDRIVE-PB Piggyback Module - FBA-625 Futurebus+ Adapter The VDRIVE-PB Piggyback Module is a VMEbus Master, Slave and System Controller piggyback module. It is intended as a tool for testing VMEbus boards or systems by being able to generate and respond to nearly all VMEbus cycle types under full user control at the command level. The FBA-625 Futurebus+ Adapter (located between the P1 and P2 connectors), gives flexibility to the VBT-325 for busses other than VME/P2. ## Images - - - -
