^General Description

This single-width module serves a dual purpose. Up to 24 bits of status may be interfaced to the module via a 36 pin I/O card-edge connector. Up to 64 A/D channels may be addressed and read. This module may also be used for module to module transfers. A switch is provided to allow either positive or negative logic inputs. The C007 module is currently only used for status/BCD input.

^Software

A/D addressing is accomplished as shown below:

A read operation always reads the digitized information from the previous read command

F(6)A(0) reads back the binary representation of the module number.

^Interrupt Capability

A LAM flip flop is provided which, when enabled, may be set by a negative-going transition of an external input, by a command, or by a front panel switch. The LAM is cleared by a read, clear, or initialize operation.

^Module to Module Transfer

Module to module transfer is accomplished as follows. Any module wishing to be read (e.g. 016, 017) sets the 007 LAM. When software detects the LAM, a read operation takes place clearing the LAM. At S2 of the read dataway cycle, a 2 microsecond "ACKNOWLEDGE" pulse is generated. This pulse might be used to set the other modules' LAM.

^Commands

CAMAC Commands
F(0)A(X)Reads 24 inputs bits, clears LAM, digitizes A/D data at S2
F(1)A(X)Reads 24 inputs bits, clears LAM, digitizes A/D data at S2
F(2)A(X)Reads 24 inputs bits, clears LAM, digitizes A/D data at S2
F(3)A(X)Reads 24 inputs bits, clears LAM, digitizes A/D data at S2
F(6)A(0)Reads module number
F(8)A(0)Returns Q if LAM is set
F(10)A(0)Clears LAM
F(14)A(0)Sets LAM
F(24)A(0)Disables setting of the LAM flip flop
F(26)A(0)Enables setting of the LAM flip flop
F(27)A(0)Generates a 2uS "TEST STATUS" signal

^Front Panel

The following lights and switches are provided on the front panel
