DESCRIPTION

In situations where an XLM-XXV is not available, Wash-U chip boards can be read out using an XLM and an SIS3300/SIS3301 FADC module. This command allows you to combine these into a single module. from the point of view of a stack.

NoteNote:
 

Normally the XLM modules used are either a hinp or psd module. As the code for these is maintained by Washington Univ, Those drivers are not documented here.

The command produces the following data format:


+------------------------------------+
|   id (16) bits                     |
+------------------------------------+
| tag data from the xlm  1 srama     |
...
| tag data from xlm1 sram b          |
../
+------------------------------------+
| 0xfadc                             |
+------------------------------------+
| Mask of read groups                |
+------------------------------------+
| Data from the FADC module group1   |
+------------------------------------+
| 0xaaa                              |
+------------------------------------+
...
| Data from the FADC module group2   |
...
+y------------------------------------+
            

Note that the configuration parameters of the XLM's determine whether or not both SRAM banks are read, the configuration of the FADC determines which FADC groups are read, and the -xlm option value determines whether one or two XLM modules are associated witht this HiRA module.

OPTIONS

-id integer

Provides the id tag that precedes the data from the two actual modules.

-xlm module-name

This parameter is a list of one or two XLM modules assoiated with this HiRA.

-fadc module-name

This parameter is the name of the sis330x module that gets the analog data

NoteNote:
 

The software does not check that the XLM is an XLM or that the fadc is an SIS 330x module.
