VME crate (master): VME V430
1x MVME2431 VME processor module, slot 1
1x SBS master, slot 2
1x SAC S9418 ACQ controller, slot 5 - trigger condition set here
14x Silena 9418 ADC, slot 7-10 (geographic location doesn't matter only jumper address)
VME crate (slave): VME430 - we didn't use this since the power supply died but we still needed a VME crate connected to the master crate
1x SBS slave, slot 1 (needs to be plugged in!)
2x CAEN V560 scalers
4x CAEN V1190 TDC
Debugging notes:
Turn slave crates on first and master crate last
VME crates must be of type V430 for MIDAS UK. We used V64x crates and unable to read scaler and TDC modules. Error messages result if you try to load modules in the wrong type caret into MIDAS UK.
HOWEVER, SBS modules MUST be plugged in. Probably some firmware coding in MVME2431 tells MIDAS there are two VME crates. SIGBUS error results if slave crate is not connected to the master crate. |
