In-Reply-To: <000905144157.820@heprb.physics.tamu.edu> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Hello Bob, Since we got the mapper from ANL, I have added a little bit of electronics on the mapper DAQ to incorporate a controlled timing of the triggers. Currently, the DAQ is in the most primitive state: it can map modules, but no light injection, no monitoring of any kind and no automation. Everytime you map, you have to push switches and turn knobs here and there at the electronics rack. I am going to improve the system in the near future. This means that I don't know what additional electronics I might add to the existing system yet, but I do know that there will be additions and that I will not use any fancy hard to get modules. However, I may produce one or two custom modules, in which case I will make sure that we produce them for all the mappers. I will tell you what the current system needs. The first group is the RABBIT specific system and you should check with Rich Talaga about the availability. RABBIT Crate 1 RABBIT Power Supply 1 ESE III 1 EWELESS 1 BAT 1 PMA 6 CRI 1 The second group is what you might get from the FNAL PREP. As you can see this is nearly a bare minimum. CAMAC Crate 1 NIM Crate 1 KS 3988 GPIB Crate Controller 1 HV Power Supply (FNAL ES-7109) 2 Gate Generator (LeCroy 2323A) 2 Hwi.
