The CAMAC 064 module is a general-purpose gate and gating card that can be used in a variety of ways. Eight gates are provided. The first four gates can also modulate externally applied signals. Gate sets and resets are normally applied to the I/O. The module also has TCLK facility and provision for two PALs that can also provide set and reset functions. Discrete wire jumpers are necessary to implement the TCLK option. The TCLK decoder PALs are located at IC positions #18 and #22. The front panel and rear I/O gate outputs are driven by separate drivers. Upon power up or clear command, all gates are toggled to the off state.
There is also capability for directly outputting TCLK events.

| NOTE: | MKS90 needs to fire on at least one $12 cycle before a Booster beam cycle to operate properly. The developed enable gate can clearly inhibit or allow $12 cycle firings depending on their exact placement in the time line relative to the beginning of a Main Ring ramp. |
The kicker thyratron firing enables are provided by Gates 1, 2, 3 and 4. Gate 1 enables the Programmable RF Delay Module associated with the thyratron firing trigger for K1A. Gate 2 enables the Programmable RF Delay Module associated with the thyratron firing trigger for K1B. Gate 3 enables the Programmable RF Delay Module associated with the thyratron firing trigger for K1C. Gate 4 is available as a spare enable with the same functionality of Gates 1, 2 and 3.
All of the thyratron firing trigger gates are set by the OR of TCLK event $13 $14 $15 $16 $19 and $1C and are reset by the OR of events $12 $17 $1D and $22.
The PFL triggers for the MI-10 Kickers are provided by Gates 5, 6, 7, and 8.
Gate 5 supplies the PFN trigger for kicker K1A. Gate 6 supplies the PFN trigger for kicker K1B. Gate 7 supplies the PFN trigger for kicker K1C. Gate 8 is available as a spare PFN trigger with the same functionality of Gates 5, 6, and 7. The PFN triggers are pulses made from TCLK event $1F anded with the thyratron trigger gate.
This module was installed to prevent MI-10 kickers from firing on TCLK event $1F associated with the Booster Beam Cycle marked by TCLK event $17. This version additionally provides gating so that the PFNs aren't triggered by the TCLK event $1F associated with the TCLK event $17.

Construction Notes:
This version has been created for Mike Church as a facility to gate off the high voltage for the E760 experiment when beam is thought to be on its way from either Main Ring or Booster. All available gates are driven. The last four of the gates are complements of the first four since nobody is exactly sure of what they really want.
Gates 1 through 4 are set by TCLK event $52 (Permitted Beam) on a P-Bar scenario and are reset by event $53 (Inhibited Beam) on a P-Bar scenario. Gates 5 through 8 are the complements of Gates 1 through 4.
A P-Bar scenario is loosely defined as a $17 cycle preceded by an $8A, or by a $14 or $16 cycle preceded by a $29 or $2D or $2E Main Ring cycle. The Booster cycle flags are reset by $11. The Main Ring cycle flags are reset by $22.
All sixteen 100 ohm terminating resistors should be removed from the inputs of ICs #8 and #9.
Three wires are added between the PALs at locations #18 and #22 as follows: #18-12 to #22-14, #18-17 to #22-15, and #18-19 to #22-16.
Also add discrete wires as follows: IC #22-17 to #8-3,5,7,9 and #9-2,4,6,8; and IC #22-18 to #8-2,4,6,8 and #9-3,5,7,9.

This version has been created for Stan Tawzer and Phil Martin as a means of automatically selecting Mountain Range Box triggers for Main Ring and Tevatron beam displays. When both the local and remote TAB and TAC controls are false, control is facilitated by the 064 gates.
Gate 1 (TAB) serves as TAB control for the Main Ring display. This gate is set by TCLK event $8E during a Main Ring $29 cycle. They are normally reset by TCLK events $20,$21, $26, $2A, $2B, $2D, $2E, $8D, or $8F.
Gate 2 (TAC) serves as TAC control for the Main Ring display. This gate is set by TCLK event $8F during a Main Ring $29 cycle. They are normally reset by TCLK events $20, $21, $26, $2A, $2B, $2D, $2E, $8D, or $8E.
Gates 3 and 4 are similar to Gates 1 and 2 respectively.
Gate 5 is provided for the Sampled Bunch Display system built by Doug Howard. It is set by the wire-or of two 377 timing channels: T:SBDTRG from $85 N14 A(0), and T:SBDT20 from $85 N14 A(7). Gate 5 is reset by TCLK event $26.
All of the 100 ohm input terminating resistors should be removed from the gate set and reset inputs of IC #9 (pins 2 through 9) and from IC #8-9. Add discrete wires as follows: #18-19 to #9-4 and #9-8 (S3 and S1); #18-18 to #9-2 and #9-6 (S4 and S2); #18-17 to #9-5 and #9-9 (R1 and R3), #18-16 to #8-9 (R5); and #18-15 to #9-3 and #9-7 (R2 and R4).
The I/O connector should be wired for TCLK input and for all Gate Outputs.

This version has been created for Barry Barnes to satisfy various gating requirements for the Booster Low Level System in the East Gallery. This is a stock card without any special modifications or unique PALs. The TCLK Decoder chip at IC position #14 and the PALs at IC positions #18 and #19 need not be installed at this time.

Gate 1 provides the Injection Paraphase trigger for the Booster rf system (input C377 timers referenced to $10).
Gate 2 provides the 8-GeV Bunch Rotation trigger for the rf.
These two signals are combined and output to the rf hardware via the Gate 4 out.
Gate 3 provides a control gate to the rf system to allow/inhibit the bunch rotation on a given booster cycle.
Three gates have sets and resets wired to two adjacent C377 timing modules. Gate 4 is the ‘or’ of Gate 1 and Gate 2. Gate 3 is set by Ch4-7 of a C377 and reset by Ch3 of the same timer.
