|
Introduction |
This panel is used to do the basic operations that can be
performed on a CAEN channel. |
|
Instructions | The left table represents the requested
parameters that can be set for a CAEN channel, and the right table the
actual values read from the channel. In the left table, the column Settting contains the values sent to the hardware. The column ReadBack contains the values that are actually stored in the hardware. It is possible to ask for a different value by clicking on the column Setting and the row of the paremeter you want to change. A popup panel will ask you to enter a new value. After the refresh period of the OPC group to which the parameter is assigned, the value in the ReadBack column will change, indicating that the hardware has received it. If it is not the case, then either the connection to the Power Supply or the Power Supply itself is not working correctly. Just after opening the panel, if the Setting and ReadBack columns differ, it could be because somebody else is or was connected to the same channel and requested a different value. In this case you can ask to 'Load the settings from the hardware' into the Setting column. In the right table, the operational values read from the hardware are shown. With the Commands buttons (On/Off) it is possible to switch On and Off the Channel. The Action button allows to do the standard Framework Device operations: -Mask/Unmask/Acknowledge Alarms -Enable/Disable the channel |
|
Restrictions | This panel works with standard CAEN channels. In
addition to the standard channels, CAEN calls channels to other type of
objects (e.g. power supply to Easy system boards). These other
possibilities will be considered in a future version of the panel. |
