sis3820 create name base ?option value...?
sis3820 config name option value ...
sis3820 cget name
Creates and configures the SIS3820 32 channel scaler for use in
a stack. The create subcommand creates a new
module with a base address of base, and
a name name which will be used to refer
to this module in later configuration commands.
The scaler readout will result in an array of 32 channels
of scaler data placed in the buffer. The first longword of this
data is channel 0, the last, channel 1, unless the scaler in in
-timestamp mode in which case the data are three
longwords that consist of channel 0, channel 16 and the high bits
register that has the top 16 bits of each of those channels as
a 48 bit scaler. In the timestamp mode, the scaler values are
latched when a logic signal arrives on control input 1, because
the module is configured for control input mode 1.
The config sub-command configures the options
for the scaler name. The configuration
is expressed as a series of one or more
option value pairs. Options may have
default values and are validity checked to ensure that
valid values are supplied. See OPTIONS below for more information
about the option keywords that are supported and their legal values.
The cget sub-command returns the current module
configuration. The configuration is returned as a Tcl list of
option value pairs. See
OPTIONS below for a description of the options ans values
that are returned. You should not rely on the list being in any
specific order. While the list will have a deterministic order,
if additional option keywords are added later on, this order may
change.
-base valueAllows you to override the initial base address of the module, specified when the module was created.
-timestamp on | off
If this option is true, the scaler is read in timestamp mode as
2 48 bit scalers. If false (the default), 32 bits are read for
each channel. This defaults to off.
Note that normally if -timestamp is on,
this module will be put in the event stack.
-inputmode mode
Sets the input mode for the module. The input mode
determines the meaning of the NIM inputs on the
module. Note that the default value for this depends
on the value of -timestamp.
Valid values for mode are:
Choose the appropriate default value for the
the input mode depending on the value of
-timestamp. See the discussion
of the default value below.
Selects input mode 0. None of the inputs have any meaning.
Selects input mode 1. In this input mode, input 1 latches the scaler value and input 4 inhibits that signal. The other inputs are connected to external user bit 1 and 2 and are irrelevant because this driver does not provide access to those bits..
Selects input mode 2. This mode is identical to LNEInhLNE except that input 3 additionaly inhibits all scaler channels from counting.
Selects input mode 3. In this mode, input 1 is the latch input and input 4 inhibits all scaler channels from counting
The inputs inhibit 4 banks of 8 scalers (Mode 4). As there is no input dedicated to LNE (latch) using this mode in timestamp mode will result in a warning. Input 1 inhibits channels 0-7, Input 2 8-15 and so on.
Mode 5. Input 1 is a latch input, input 1 starts the module Hiscal count. This mode is not supported by NSCLDAQ at present.
Mode 6. Input 1 is a latch pulse, Input 2 inhibits counting in all channels Input 3 clears all scalers.
The default value for this parameter depends on the
value of -timestamp and is computed
at the start of each run, if necessary.
In timestamp mode the default value is
LNEInhLNE. If not timestamp mode,
the default is Inh4s.
-outputmode mode
Configures the module's oputput mode; The meaning
of the outputs. If not configured
clock50Mhz (mode 1) is used
by default. Legal values for the
mode are:
Mode 1 (default), Output 5 echoes the LNE. Outupt 7 is a 50MHz clock.
Mode 0 - Output 5 echoes the LNE and output 8 is the user output (not used by this software).
Mode 2 - Output 5 is the LNE. Output 6,7 are both 10MHz clocks. Output 8 is the user LED (not used by this software).
Mode3 - Output 5 is the LNE, output 6 a 10MHz clock. Output 7,8 are not usable by this software.
