(Hauser, 2006) The P-184 TDC was designed and built by UCLA around 1986. A BASIC test program was written by Mr. Shi, a C program was written by Slater. Latest readout program is from Bertrand Biritz, 2005-2006. Description: ============ CAMAC 8-channel TDC (time-to-digital convertor). 20 ns per count. (note, front-panel light stays on until data acquisition running so module is cleared.) 1 negative-going Start pulse, fast NIM standard 8 negative-going Stop pulses, fast NIM standard Bits 1-12 TDC counter. Bit 12 sets overflow, data readout -1=overflow Maximum time = 20*(2048-1) ns = 40940 ns Bits 13-16 are unused. Bits 17-24 are an ID register, ID=0 0101 0101(binary)=55(hexadecimal)=85(decimal) Camac functions: F0 A0-A7 read TDC channel 1-8 counter F2 A0-A7 read TDC channel 1-8 count and CLEAR the module F8 Q=LAM F10 Q=LAM and CLEAR the module F24 disable LAM F26 enable LAM A8*S1 self-test Start pulse A8-S2 self-test Stop pulse
