   Z_CRATE



 This command causes the CAMAC crate controller to send a 'Z' to the 
 default CAMAC crate. The command sent is N(28),A(8),F(26).



   C_CRATE

 This command causes the crate controller to send a 'C' (i.e. clear) the 
 default CAMAC crate. The command sent is N(28),A(9),F(26).



   SET_INH

 This command causes the crate controller to set the inhibit on
 the default CAMAC crate. The command sent is N(30),A(9),F(26). 



   CLR_INH

 the default CAMAC crate. The command sent is N(30),A(9),F(24). 



   TST_INH

 This command causes the crate controller to test the inhibit on
 the default CAMAC crate. The command sent is N(30),A(9),F(27). 



   EN_DEM

 This command causes the crate controller to enable CAMAC crate
 demand on the default crate. The command sent is N(30),A(10),F(26). 



   DI_DEM

 This command causes the CAMAC crate controller to disable crate
 demand on the default crate. The command sent is N(30),A(10),F(24).



   TST_DEM_EN

 This command causes the CAMAC crate controller to test state of crate demand
 on the default crate. A Q=1 is returned if enabled. The command sent is
 N(30),A(10),F(27). 



   TST_DEM_PR

 This command causes the CAMAC crate controller to test CAMAC crate demand on
 the default crate. A Q=1 is returned if present. The command sent is
 N(30),A(11),F(27). 



   LOAD_ST

 This command causes the CAMAC crate controller to load CAMAC 
 station number register (Q=1) on the default crate. The command sent is 
 N(30),A(8),F(16).



   RD_GR_LAM

 This command causes the CAMAC crate controller to read graded
 LAM (Q=1) on the default crate. The command sent is N(30),A(0-7),F(0).



   CNAF

 CNAF allows the user to enter CAMAC commands to any CAMAC crate on the
 system, by inputting the values of C (CAMAC crate number), N (CAMAC slot),
 A (CAMAC subaddress), F (CAMAC function) and data value.


 If the value of C is zero or not specified, the default crate value is used
 (entered by using the CRATE command).
 The result of the operation (Q,X response and data) is  reported. 


 The base of the data value is by default in decimal, but can be changed to
 hexadecimal or octal by entering the HEX_DATA or OCT_DATA commands prior to
 the CNAF command.


 If, instead of entering the parameters N,A,F, a carriage return is
 entered, the last command will be repeated. For continuous looping
 on a command, see HELP CAMAC LOOP.


 To exit from the CNAF command back to the CAMAC menu, enter Control Z or
 -1.



   EXIT

 This command returns control to the CFIMENU program. 



   LOOP

 	Parameter NLOOP - number of times to loop on next command
 e.g.
 CAMAC>LOOP 5


 This command will repeat the next command entered NLOOP times. IF the value
 of NLOOP is not supplied, it will be prompted for. By entering a value of 0
 for NLOOP, the next command will be repeated an infinite number of times.
 During the infinite loop, typing any character on the terminal will return
 control to the main CAMAC menu. 



 CRATE

 	parameter CRATE_NUMBER


 e.g.
 CAMAC> CRATE 3


 This command is used to set up the default crate value. If the
 parameter CRATE_NUMBER is not supplied, it will be prompted for.


 All operations except CNAF and all block transfers are performed on the default
 crate. See HELP CNAF or Q_STOP_BLOCK,UNIDEV_BLOCK,MULDEV_BLOCK for details. 



 READ_CSR0

 This command reads and interprets CSR 0 of the Branch driver. The most
 significant 16 bits contain the manufacturer's ID. Access to the functions
 in CSR0 is available using the CFIMENU command BRDRV.



 X_RESET

 This command disables the FASTBUS error response SS=7 generated by the
 branch driver when no X-response has been detected after a CAMAC operation.
 This is the default.



 X_SET

 This command enables the FASTBUS error response SS=7 generated by the
 branch driver when no X-response has been detected after a CAMAC operation.
 By default, this error response is disabled.



 Q_STOP_BLOCK

  		Unidevice block transfer, repeat mode 
 		-  slave terminated (Q-stop )


 A block transfer is performed to one address that terminates when no Q
 response is generated. 


 The user can perform a block transfer to any CAMAC crate on the
 system, by inputting the values of C (CAMAC crate number), N (CAMAC slot),
 A (CAMAC subaddress), F (CAMAC function). The maximum number of transfers
 is requested, and the data prompted for  (if the operation is a write).




 If the value of C is zero or not specified, the default crate value is used
 (entered by using the CRATE command).
 The result of the operation (Q,X response and data) will be reported. 


 The base of the data value is by default in decimal, but can be changed to
 hexadecimal or octal by entering the HEX_DATA or OCT_DATA commands prior to
 the CNAF command.


 If, instead of entering the parameters C,N,A,F, a carriage return is
 entered, the last command will be repeated. For continuous looping
 on a command, see HELP CAMAC LOOP.


 To exit back to the CAMAC menu, enter Control Z or
 -1.





 MULDEV_BLOCK

 A block transfer is performed to an incrementing CAMAC address that is
 word count  terminated (see below).
  	


 The user can perform a block transfer to any CAMAC crate on the
 system, by inputting the values of C (CAMAC crate number), N (CAMAC slot),
 A (CAMAC subaddress), F (CAMAC function). The number of transfers
 is requested, and the data prompted for  (if the operation is a write).




 If the value of C is zero or not specified, the default crate value is used
 (entered by using the CRATE command).
 The result of the operation (Q,X response and data) will be reported. 


 The base of the data value is by default in decimal, but can be changed to
 hexadecimal or octal by entering the HEX_DATA or OCT_DATA commands prior to
 the CNAF command.


 If, instead of entering the parameters C,N,A,F, a carriage return is
 entered, the last command will be repeated. For continuous looping
 on a command, see HELP CAMAC LOOP.


 To exit back to the CAMAC menu, enter Control Z or
 -1.



 UNIDEV_BLOCK



 	Unidevice block transfer, controller synchronized
 		-  to single address, (NTA is not incremented)
 		-  Master wordcount terminated


 A block transfer is performed to a particular CAMAC address. The number
 of words transferred is determined by the word count.


 The user can perform a block transfer to any CAMAC crate on the
 system, by inputting the values of C (CAMAC crate number), N (CAMAC slot),
 A (CAMAC subaddress), F (CAMAC function). The number of transfers (word
 count) is requested, and the data prompted for  (if the operation is a write).


 If the value of C is zero or not specified, the default crate value is used
 (entered by using the CRATE command).
 The result of the operation (Q,X response and data) will be reported. 


 The base of the data value is by default in decimal, but can be changed to
 hexadecimal or octal by entering the HEX_DATA or OCT_DATA commands prior to
 the CNAF command.


 If, instead of entering the parameters C,N,A,F, a carriage return is
 entered, the last command will be repeated. For continuous looping
 on a command, see HELP CAMAC LOOP.


 To exit back to the CAMAC menu, enter Control Z or
 -1.

     DIS_DIRECT
    
 Disables direct transfer via the CFI. With stored transfer, transfers of a
 maximum of 3892 words are allowed. This command uses the CFIMENU FMODE
 command. 

    
 The default is that direct transfers are enabled (so block transfers up
 to 32000 words can be handled). 

    

    

     EN_DIRECT
    
 Enables direct transfer via the CFI (the default). Block transfers of up
 to 32000 words can be handled in this mode. 

    
 This command uses the CFIMENU FMODE command.

    

     DIS_BLK_OUT
    
 Disables display of block transfer data. The number of transfers only
 is displayed.

    

     EN_BLK_OUT
    
 Enables display of block transfer data (the default).

    

     DEC_DATA
    
 Changes the base for inputting the data to decimal in the CNAF,
 Q_STOP_BLOCK, UNIDEV_BLOCK, or MULDEV_BLOCK command. Decimal is the
 default.

    

     OCT_DATA
    
 Changes the base for inputting the data to octal in the CNAF,
 Q_STOP_BLOCK,UNIDEV_BLOCK, or MULDEV_BLOCK command. Decimal is the
 default.

    

     HEX_DATA
    
 Changes the base for inputting the data to hexadecimalin the CNAF,
 Q_STOP_BLOCK,UNIDEV_BLOCK, or MULDEV_BLOCK command. Decimal is the
 default.

    

      COMMAND_FILE
    
 An example of the format to use the command CAMAC in a command file is
 shown:

    
  !CAMAC.CCM
  CAMAC	! Branch driver is in slot 19 (hex)
  19

    
 ! Above blank line signified default logical address
 CRATE 1 ! Default crate is crate 1
 CLR_INH ! Clear crate inhibit (on crate 1)
 CNAF	! Perform a CAMAC operation on C=1,N=8,A=0,F=16,Data=1
  ,8,0,16,1
  -1
 OCT	! Set octal data
 CNAF	! C=3,N=12,A=0,F=16,Data=777 (octal)
