This table contains the jack number and jack types for every connector in the interfaces. It is used to validate connector number entries in the RPrecord, Zrecord, and Trecord tables and to specify connector type on some of the reports.
The two fields, JackTypA and JackTypB, allow specification of both halves of the connector set.
Name of the connector.
Connector type.
Connector type.
Comments field.
This table specifies a connection for one pair in a device connector on the interface.
Parameter associated with this pair.
Pair number of the parameter.
Jack this connection is located in.
First pin in the pair.
Second pin in the pair.
Color of the first wire in the pair.
Validated by ColKeys.ColNme.
Color of the second wire in the pair.
Validated by ColKeys.ColNme.
Name of the signal associated with the first wire in the pair.
Name of the signal associated with the second wire in the pair.
Bus to connect to in order to obtain power. If no connection is required, use "none" in this field.
Validated by BusKeys.BusNme.
First bus pin.
Second bus pin.
Comments field.
Comments field.
This table is used to define a connection point to a CAMAC module. Connection points to modules are associated with DataRecs.
RecId of the DataRec this record is associated with.
Wire pair number for the RecId.
First pin in the pair.
Second pin in the pair.
Jack this connection is located in.
Comments field.
Comments field.
This table is used to provide connection pairs between any two jacks in the interface without the use of data points.
Typically this is used where connections need to be made between two points in an interface, but there is no entry in the database that corresponds to the signal.
For example:
If there are two interfaces associated with a single CAMAC crate, signals often need to be routed from one interface to the other through the trunk cable. In this case it is used to pass signals on the destination side of the jumper's connection to the device connector.
It is used to make the shield connections for the device cables. In this case the destination connector is a ground block inside the interface and there is only one wire in the pair.
In cases where signals must be passed from connector to another without involving CAMAC. This can happen when hardware interlocks need to be passed between devices.
The fields in the Trecord table are:
Index number used to identify the record.
"Source" jack.
Validated by JackRec.JackNo.
"Destination" jack.
Validated by JackRec.JackNo.
First "source" pin.
Second "source" pin.
First "destination" pin.
Second "destination" pin.
First wire color pin.
Validated by ColKeys.ColNme.
Second wire color pin.
Validated by ColKeys.ColNme.
First signal name.
Second signal name.
"Source" connection first comment field.
"Source" connection second comment field.
"Destination" connection first comment field.
"Destination" connection second comment field.
