Page 9: Programming The Camac System
The station number (N) specifies which slot is intended to receive the command being executed. N can range from 1 to 23 (decimal). With the CCC1 N can range from 1 to 16 (decimal). Internal features of crate controllers typically use RoentDek N=30. 3.4 Status Information During a dataway command execution cycle, the addressed module uses the Q response (Q) and X command accepted (X) bus lines to convey status information to the crate controller.
Page 10 The Inhibit (I) disables features for duration of the signal. The Inhibit line can be set by the crate controller or a module. An example of this is using a Timing Pulse Generator to provide a time base for a programmed time, disabling the counters. The Clear (C) clears the registers or resets flip-flops.

3.8 Selecting LAM source To select the LAM source you have to open the side panel of the crate controller. You should see the following picture. Please note that the marked jumpers are two 3pin jumpers. Two of them are closed. Internal External Figure 3.3: Jumper setting for selecting LAM source...
Page 13: Selecting Internal Lam Source
3.9 Selecting internal LAM source To select an internal LAM make sure you’ve selected the internal LAM as described in “Selecting LAM source”. Beside this you can select up to two internal LAM sources. The LAM sources should be placed each in one of the two blocks (Q1, Q2). The source is selected by applying a switch to the needed station number.

5 Selecting the Reset source To select the source of the Reset signal, you have to open one side panel of the CCC1. If the displayed switch is in “closed” position, the Reset is set to internal (means computer initiated) Reset. In this state the Reset-Indicator LED is on. To select external reset, disconnect the switch.

Page 27: Final Notes
9 Final Notes: It has been observed: If one of the two EventOut output lines are no longer working (e.g. no signal output) then the time between EventIn and EventOut can be different than expected (usually up to several hundret ns instead of only about one hundret ns).
