Setting up the electronics

Setting up the electronics

A detailed description of how to setup experimental electronics is well beyond the scope of this document. This section describes portions of the electronics that are invariant from experiment to experiment:

• Setting up the computer trigger.
• Setting up the computer busy system.

At this time, the system supports two types of trigger/busy systems:

CESCamac Triggers via the CES/CBD 8210 VME CAMAC branch highway driver and busy via BiRa Model 3251 CAMAC NIMOUT registers set to pulse mode. See Vme trigger requirements.

VMECaen Triggers and busy management are both done via the CAEN V262 general purpose I/O register. See CAMAC trigger requirements.

See Running your readout software for information about how to select between the available triggers.

• VME trigger requirements
• CAMAC trigger requirements
