CAMAC crate controller on a FASTBUS cable segment

Abstract

A CAMAC crate controller that can be attached to a FASTBUS cable segment has been designed to incorporate CAMAC systems into a FASTBUS environment. The controller meets the multiple controller specification of CAMAC. The block transfer modes are enhanced with functional shares with a FASTBUS master activity. The controllers are installed in the TOPAZ data acquisition system for the TRISTAN high energy electron-positron collider at KEK, Japan.
