CAMAC memory module: MEMO-32

For high-speed data transfer from the CAMAC front-end electronics to an on-line computer, two types of CAMAC memory modules (MEMO-32 and MEMO-32Q) have been developed. These modules snoop the data on the CAMAC dataway and write them on a memory by one CAMAC command; F(0). This feature reduces the number of CAMAC actions for data acquisition. With these modules, even an inexpensive system consisting of a personal computer and an auxiliary Crate Controller can handle a large amount of data in high speed. The modules have been used for experiments with the large acceptance spectrometer, TAGX, at the 1.3-GeV ES. (author)
