$ABADD

This location should be filled with the address in DM of the start of the address buffer BADD (see ADDRESS_BUFFER) from which the master is to read the addresses of the data stored in BDAT.

$LBADD

This location should be filled with length in (32-bit words) of the address buffer BADD (which is of variable length, see ADDRESS_BUFFER) .

$ABDAT

This location should be filled with the address in DM of the start of the data buffer BDAT (see DATA_BUFFER) from which the master can read out the data.

$LBDAT

This location should be filled with length in (32-bit words) of the data buffer BDAT ( see DATA_BUFFER), i.e. the length of the data buffer that contains data.

$SLAVE_REGS

This location should be filled with the address in DM of the start of a YBOS bank that contains the initial set-up values of the slave registers in the crate, or any information of a similar nature. The use and contents of this bank is SSP_dependent.

The bank may read by the master at the beginning of run and written onto magnetic tape, thereby providing some record of the setup parameters of the slave modules for that run.

If no such bank is in use, the location $LSLAVE_REGS should be set to zero.

$LSLAVE_REGS

This location should be filled with the length (in 32-bit words) of the (SSP_dependent) YBOS bank whose address is loaded into $SLAVE_REGS. If no such bank is in use, the location $LSLAVE_REGS should be set to zero.

$MORE_INFO

This location contains the address of a storage block in DM (known as MORE_INFORMATION) that contains status or error information. In the event of a return code of FAIL (see $RET_CODE), MORE_INFORMATION should contain more information on the reason for failure, so that the condition may be corrected.

$LMORE_INFO

Since the block MORE_INFORMATION (see $MORE_INFO) is, in general, of variable length, the length (in 32-bit words) of the contents of MORE_INFORMATION is stored in $LMORE_INFO.
