    CAMAC Dataway and the System 1440 or HV4032 or HV4032A mainframes. Please note however, that the 2132 should be used with the 1440 system or the HV4032 system. It cannot be used with both systems at once. Any combination of the HV4032 series mainframe may be used in the daisy chain.

  • Page 9 Footnotes (1) Command is a word transfer from the 2132 to the HV4032A. Response is a word or block of words transferred from the HV4032A to the 2132. It is always accompanied by one L2 (following the last word transferred if in a block).

    Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) and with CAMAC via Dataway. Data words written into the 2132 from CAMAC are loaded into a 40-word deep FIFO and are available for CAMAC read out (Figure 3). Full buffering of both ports has been provided to allow efficient operation in spite of the drastic difference between the speed of the serial daisy chain and that of the computer.
  • Page 11 (Figure 3) are broken into three 6-bit characters. The UART adds one start bit, two stop bits, and a parity bit. The 2132 control circuitry adds a flag bit allowing the system to perform framing checks (Figure 4) for the HV4032.
  • Page 12 Eighteen data bits are transferred, two of which are used as LAM Status Bits only on transmission to the 2132. Data transfer from the 2132 to the HV mainframes is considerably slower than the corresponding response communication. Because of the computer error checking (parity, framing, etc.) the HV mainframe requires approximately 100 msec between...
  • Page 13: Operating Instruction

    A programming example flow diagram is given in Figures 5 to 10 to illustrate general procedure for operation of the 2132. CAMAC clear (C or Z) is recommended after power up of the 2132. After this initialization it should not be necessary to clear the module again.
  • Page 14 13 = overwrite). A parity error implies a command to an HV4032 which was not recognized. This can be generated by any unit in a daisy chain as all units will see the command from the 2132, but only the HV4032 recognizing the address should respond to the command given.

    LAM be ignored and allow the Q response from a F(2) to indicate valid data. Note that L2 is NEVER generated. 5. FIFOs. Both the 2132 and the 1445 arc FIFO buffered. This allows a burst of data to be transmitted at high speed, but then necessitates a delay to allow processing of that data.

    The suggested mode of operation is to limit the count to 39 (39 channels + 1 i.d. word fills 2132). If this is not done the 2132 must be read out fast enough to prevent overflow. This might be a reasonable approach if the LAM is used as an interrupt.
