Introduction

This document describes software support for the SIS3600 VME Coincidence register/latch. Support for this module consists of a single C++ class: CSIS3600

This document describes:

• The Supported module operating modes.
• Enabling the module.
• Reading the module

Regardless of how you are going to run the module, you must create an instance of the CSIS3600 class (an object) in order to use the module. Once created, member functions of the object are used to manipulate the module.

The sample code below shows how to create an SIS3600 module object using the CSIS3600::CSIS3600 consstructor within the classic readout's framework.

           #include <CSIS3600.h>
        ...
           CSIS3600* pModule(0);       // At program startup, null pointer.
        ...
           void initevt() 
           {
        ...
             if(!pModule) {
               pModule = new CSIS3600(0x36000000, 0);    // Base,crate.
             }
           }

This code creates an object that is used to manipulate an SIS 3600 in crate 0 whose thumbwheels have been set to give it a base address of 0x36000000. See the module's hardware manual for a description of the base address thumbwheels.
