Overview:	The HEGD7 is a Granddaughter module for Fibre optic data communications between Hunt Engineering TIM-40 modules. Used with a base module providing Granddaughter sockets. It connects two unidirectional optical fibres to the I/O busses of the Granddaughter connectors. Data streams can be presented in pair, or ring topology. The HEGD7 can be used to connect two clusters of processing modules providing communications between I/O and processing modules. HEGD7 provides long distance communication, electrical isolation or both. The standard version of the HEGD7 pair provide a 10db power budget, allowing the calculation of maximum distance using the losses of the fibre chosen and any connectors used in the system. Distant clusters of processors can be remotely booted over the fibre using the UDP reset. There is no processor on the HEGD7, transfer of the onboard data in AMD TAXI format, is controlled by two FPGAs. ST connectors with optical wavelength 1320nm are standard. Options are available. Modes selected by jumper. Packet mode: START and STOP guarantee that packet received is 256 words. Single word mode: No START or STOP. General purpose link for remote booting. BLOCK mode: Sending can be blocked by remote HEGD7 to provide flow control.
