CAMAC Driver Status

Note:

These tables are a work-in-progress. As new drivers are completed, these tables will be updated appropriately. The tables use a color coding to reflect the state of support. The colors are defined to be:

Color	Description
	Support has been completed.
	Support for this driver is in progress.
	No support yet.
	Support will not be provided in the new front-end.

(The table shows four distinct colors. If you don't see all four, your system isn't configured to display enough simultaneous colors.)

This table indicates the completion status in porting the CAMAC drivers to the new PowerPC platform. The number of devices using each driver was obtained by querying the database and weeding out GAS devices. Blanked entries, in the "# of devices" column, means no normal device is using the driver -- according to the database.

Driver Code	Documents	# of Devices	Status	Description

02	MOOC builtin	10	done	Up time since last reboot (used to be driver 102)

Miscellaneous Tasks

This section lists miscellaneous tasks that exist on the CAMAC front-ends. Some, or all, of these tasks will need to be ported.

Task Name	Front-ends	Status	Description
rcvr	all	done	Receives token-ring packets and forwards them to ACNET. This functionality is replaced by iprcv in the ACNET library, which listens for IP packets on ethernet.
acnetini	all	done	Defined in ACNET libraries.
acnaux	all	done	Defined in ACNET libraries.
humbug	all	N/A	An ACNET-based debugging utility. The VxWorks shell has better functionality.
trigger	all	done	Defined in the triggers library.
uplink	all	done (7/99)	Allows raw CAMAC transactions to be done via an ACNET service.
scio	all	done (03/01)	Manages a queue of block transfer requests. Wakes up a task when its request completes. (This support was added through the SLD driver.)
a_alarmr	all	done	Defined in the MOOC library.
a_slam	all	done	Defined in the MOOC library.
scan_lam( Doc \| Src )	all	done	A new task which scans for raised lam and fires handlers.
slam_sucker	all	N/A	A task which runs at a higher priority to retrieve and process data from dumb alarm scans. This task may not be needed in the new system.
gas_alarm	all	done (05/01)	Monitors and forwards alarms generated by GAS-speaking devices.
retdat	all	done	Defined in MOOC library.
setdat	all	done	Defined in MOOC library.
writer	all	done	This functionality is done by SetDat in the MOOC library.
gas_handler	all	done (02/01)	Forwards requests to GAS-speaking modules.
upgas( Src )	all	done	Allows raw GAS-protocol messages to be sent.
ftpman	all	done (02/01)	MOOC ftpman needs to implement new protocol. (Support was added to MOOC.)
m_madc_hand	all	done (3/01)	MADC Handler task.
rs232_writer	CDF	N/A	The CDF Multibus II front-end is retired
timspy	all	N/A	This task has been stubbed out with a dummy routine. It probably can get thrown away.
gas_gt	all	N/A	Gathering task (?) This task gathers the responses and returns them.
gas_henry( Doc \| Src )	all	done	Another GAS-related task. Crates & Slots plus misc.
gas_henry_ep	all	N/A	Another GAS-related task. I'm not sure what this one does.
statist	all		This task sets up an ACNET connection to query front-end statistic counters.
pisa_mon	CDF	N/A	The CDF Multibus II front-end is retired.
timget	all	N/A	Keeps the MTOS clock up-to-date. VxWorks ought to be able to keep its own time.
response	all	N/A	A simple "echo" server; this task receives an ACNET request packet containing a word and returns it in a single reply. We have other ways to determine the health of a front-end.
m_madc_gt	all	done (06/01)	MADC Gathering task.
scalers	all	N/A	A high priority task that allows reading devices with minimal jitter. Used by 21 and 125 drivers. Since both drivers have no associated devices, this task won't be ported.
gas_chl	TEV	N/A	Provides a datapool for the CHL 488 card. This is used for T:1DL5K, T:1DL11K, T:1DP454, T:1DP302, and T:1DP445.
d_quad	TEV		Acquires and scales data. Then writes it to the flying wire controllers.
rs232_peeker	CDF	N/A	The CDF Multibus II front-end is retired.
blockx( Src )	all	done (3/00)	Works with D20 in determining two items: Reporting BTR errors. Reporting contents of crates and slots.
d_pbar	PBAR		This task is responsible for periodically computing PBAR parameters.
d_jcc ( Doc \| Src )	TEV	Charlie	Closed-loop control for Johnson Controller.
d_mlcw ( Doc \| Src )	TEV	Charlie	TEV LCW pump ON detection. This task reports the pump status to the BOOSTER front-end.
d_blcw	BOOSTER	N/A	Computes TEV LCW leak rate. Controls TEV LCW reserve outlet valve.
d_rftlog ( Doc \| Src )	MI	done (10/00)	R.F. trip logging. This task is now started automatically from within driver 100.
consolidator	TEVRF, SWYD		Boris: "Consolidator is the main routine of the task with the same name, that fulfills all initialization and controls the sequence of actions that are fulfilled in this task."
d_cim	BOOSTER	done (2/01)	This task manages the use of B:CIM, the Booster Curves Input Module.
d_madc_summer	all	done (12/99)	Continuously sums selected MADC channels at a trigger rate.
d_mdtm( Doc \| Src )	BOOSTER	done (12/99)	Converts time-of-day into seconds since 1/1/70. This data is written to two 166 modules, which in turn transmit it on the MDAT link.
pauxrampfa	PBAR	N/A	Performs fast ramping (60Hz) of PBAR. Bill Marsh says these tasks won't be needed after the current fixed-target run.
pauxrampsl	PBAR	N/A	Performs slow ramping (<= 15Hz) of PBAR. Bill Marsh says these tasks won't be needed after the current fixed-target run.
