Channel Parameters
Several parameters are associated with each channel, the number and type of these
parameters depending on the Board type. They can be programmed and monitored in
different ways:
•
via local control devices (
Local Control
) i.e. the LCD screen, the Keypad and
the Compact Switch;
•
via remote control devices (
Remote Control
) by using the interfaces provided
with the system, such as the PS/2 connector, the RS232 interface, the H. S.
CAENET link, etc.;
The following subsections contains a short description of all parameters
associated with a standard HV Power Supply Board (HV PWS Board, Mod. A1832).
Although the number and type of parameters associated to each channel depend
on the board's model, the following includes almost all parameters you can find
when using a CAEN PWS Board.
4.4.1
CHANNEL NUMBER
(CH #)
CH #
is the physical name of the channel which corresponds to its complete address
(refer to Fig. 4.2).
A channel in each crate is therefore identified by three items:
•
the number of the cluster to which the crate where the board is inserted belongs;
•
the number of the slot in which the board is plugged;
•
the number of the channel on the board.
For example, the channel 3 of the board plugged in the slot 5 of the SY2527 crate
belonging to the cluster 0 is identified with the name "0.05.003".
This parameter is read out by the software and is always shown in the channels window
(refer to § 7.1.9, p.49). It cannot be modified by the user.
