devkeys(7) manual page

Table of Contents

The DevType field is used by the I/O manager software to determine what type of device is to be serviced. At startup time after the database is loaded commands are issued to build lists of I/O transactions. These lists are executed by the I/O drivers to actually perform the I/O to the devices. They must be built in different ways depending on the device to be serviced.

For example, each time the KSC3516 module is accessed to read data from it a command must be sent to set a pointer in the module before the data is read. The data is then read from the module by sending the same CAMAC command 32 times to read each channel in the module.

DevType

Null

NULL assignment.

CAMAC modules

KSC3110

Kinetic Systems model 3110 10 bit D/A converter.

KSC3112

Kinetic Systems model 3112 12 bit D/A converter.

KSC3116

Kinetic Systems model 3116 16 bit, 16 chan. D/A converter.

KSC3195

Kinetic Systems model 3195 16 bit, 6 chan. D/A converter.

This is not currently supported maybe obsolete - rlk 1/18/91.

KSC3510

Kinetic Systems 3510 10 bit A/D converter.

This is not currently supported maybe obsolete - rlk 1/18/91.

KSC3512

Kinetic Systems 3512 12 bit A/D converter.

KSC3516

Kinetic Systems 3516 16 bit A/D converter.

KSC3516g

Kinetic Systems 3516 gain control.

For each DataRec with DevType "KSC3516" there can be a record of this type. If the record exists it is used to set the gain of the channel.

At least one record must exist for each module or the module will not be initialized and will not scan.

KSC3596

Kinetic Systems 3596 24 bit A/D converter

KSC3596g

Kinetic Systems 3596 gain control

KSC3596f

Kinetic Systems 3596 filter control

KSC3074

Kinetic Systems 3074 24 Relay Output Register.

KSC3075

Kinetic Systems 3075 16 Relay Output Register.

KSC3072

Kinetic Systems 3072 48 bit TTL Output Register.

KSC3471

Kinetic Systems 3471 24 bit isolated input register.

KSC3472

Kinetic Systems 3472 48 bit TTL Input Register.

3388init

GPIB - initialization. This is used to initialize the 3388 module. One record must exist for each 3388 in the system.

3388Nfr

GPIB - NMR - field read.

3388Nsc

GPIB - NMR - control.

3388Nsr

GPIB - NMR - status read.

3388HFGam

GPIB - SRS function generator - amplitude control.

3388FGfc

GPIB - SRS function generator - frequency control.

3388FGwv

GPIB - SRS function generator - waveform selection.

KSC3792

Watchdog timer. One record must exist for each module in the system.

KSC3922

Crate Controller.

This is no longer used by the system but may be included in the database so that the crate controller shows up in a module list report.
