DESCRIPTION

The ACAENV1290 ITcl class is a specialized Tcl translation driver for the CAEN V1290 TDC. The synposis above shows how to use it. The driver has no configurable options. On inintialization it:

  1. Sets the module in trigger matching mode

  2. Sets the matching window width to 1500

  3. Sets the window offset to -1000

  4. Turns off chip parkers.

  5. Disables error markers.

  6. Enables trigger time subraction.

The source code does not contain an Author attribution nor the purpose however I believe the author was Scott Williams and the original purpose was the REA3 diagnostics box. The tdc1x90 is a much more flexible driver and is recommended instead of this driver, which is provided for legacy use only.
