Name

GPIBtask - CAMAC GPIB module service

Synopsis

GPIBtask [dbman_host] [Cmin] [Cmax]

Description

GPIB I/O service for a Kinetic System 3388 CAMAC module. This programs supports a Stanford Research Systems function generator and a Group3 Hall probe controller. Support for other equipment must be hardcoded into the program.

Arguments

dbman_host
The host where dbman is running.
Cmin
The minimum crate number.
Cmax
The maximum crate number.

Hall Probe Service

Hall probes controlled by this program will have their calibration, zeroing, and scaling factors cleared if a DataRec with DevKey Dev3388Fin is present in the data table.

Function Generator Service

Notes

The symbols are present to support a MetroLab NMR but this has not been implemented. It is not recommended that GPIB service using the 3388 be done in new systems as the CAMAC module has shown itself to be a lousy GPIB controller.
