The CAEN V977 is a 16 channel I/O register. This software provides policy independent support for that module. Other software builds on top of this to e.g. use the module as a trigger or dead-time management module.
Refer to the CAEN hardware manual for the CAEN V977 for more information about this module.
Constructs a CCAENV977 object. Once constructed,
you can use this object to manipulate the actual device described by
the constructor.
lBase is the base address of the module as
configured in the module's rotary switches. nCrate
is the VME crate in which you will insert the module.
Reads the module input set register. This module describes the
current latched state of the inputs. Note that the module allows you to
modify the latched set of inputs (e.g. you can clear bits from the
register as you process them. See the overload of inputSet
described below.
Writes value to the input set register.
Reads and returns the contents of the input mask register. Bits set
in the input mask register disable the corresponding bits of the
input set register from being set as a result of hardware inputs.
It is possible, however for the input set register to be modified
arbitrarily by the software.
See the overload of inputMask below as well.
Writes mask to the input mask register.
This allows you to disable the corresponding bits of the
input set register from responding to hardware inputs.
This reads and returns the module's input read register. The input read register reflects the instantaneous state of the module inputs. Note that since the input read register is not a latched register, in general it's not very useful.
The module is able to distinguish between single and multiple hits in a gate for each input. This register is has bits set for each channel that has received a single hit. The register is not affected by the contents of the input mask register.
This register has bits set for each channel of the module that received multiple input pulses during the gate time. The register is not affecte by the input mask register. Multiple hits can also come about as a result of writes to the input set register.
Reads and returns the value of the output set register. This is the set of
bits that is presented to the module's outputs.
To write this see the overloaded outputMask
function below.
Writes pattern to the output set register.
Reads the output mask register. The module outputs are the bitwise OR of the output set register and the input Flip Flop latched value anded with the complement of this mask register. That is bits set in this register prevent the inputs from setting their corresponding outputs. The best description of all of this is probably figure 3.1 in the CAEN hardware manual for the module.
Writes a value to the output mask register. Each bit set in the mask register disables the corresponding output bit from being controlled by the inputs. See figure 3.1 in the CAEN V977 hardware manual for more information about the function of the output mask register.
Reads the interrupt mask register. Each bit of the input register can cause an interrupt to occur. Setting bits in the mask register disables the corresoponding input bit from causing an interrupt. Note that NSCLDAQ does not require
Writes mask to the interrupt mask register.
Clears the output flipflop channels.
Returns the value of the single hit read-clear register. This reads and clears the single hit register.
Reads and returns the value of the multihit read-clear register. This reads and resets the contents of the multihit flip-flop/register.
Returns the serial number of the module.
Returns the module firmware revision level. The firmware revision is divided into a major and minor version (major.minor is the usual way to write this, e.g. 3.4). The most significant 8 bits of the firmware register are the major revision, the least significatn 8 bits are the minor version.
Writes the control register. It is an error to attempt to set bits that have no meaning. This is meant to ensure that you use the definitions provided by the class for this (see "Types and public data" below).
Reads and returns the value of the control register.
Resets the module to its default setup.
The following constant values are defined to represent bits in the control register:
CCAENV977::control_PatternThe Pattern bit in the control register.
CCAENV977::control_gateMaskThe gateMask bit of the control register.
CCAENV977::control_OrMaskThe Or mask bit of the control register.
