Synopsis

Description

Status Control I/O service for CAMAC.

This program supports Kinetic Systems KSC3072, KSC3074 and KSC3075 CAMAC modules.

It also supports CAMAC modules from other manufacturers which use F16 and A0-A15 as CAMAC function codes and map the module bits directly into the CAMAC I/O register.
This program registers itself with dbman as SCtask_v2.
