Description

A data transfer problem using FERA modules was found in a heavy ion nuclear physics experiment. The source of the problem was spotted in the handling of some signals on the FERA control bus. A modification of this handling is proposed and performed by means of a new CAMAC-FERA control module, the EBOFERA. Furthermore, this module has a number of useful features like the master gate and clear signals handling, event tagging, pattern unit and event counter. (orig.)
