1. General description
1.1. Overview
The CAEN Model V793 board has been designed for the slow control, via either RS232 or
CAENET communication path, of the analog crates into the ICARUS experiment
acquisition chain. Each ICARUS analog crate can be equipped with a Mod. V793 and up to
19 Mod. V791 boards. The Mod. V793 main functions are:
•
Generate the EN_BRD logic signals to enable/disable the Mod. V791 boards
•
Set the acquisition baseline for the V791 boards
•
Generate a clock signal to synchronise all the Mod. V791 boards in a crate
•
Measure detector and crate power supply voltages
•
Forward test pulses to the V791 boards, to the decoupling boards (Mod. A764) or to the
detector during functional tests
Fig. 1.1 shows a detailed block diagram of the V793 module.
The Mod. V793 is housed in a 1-unit wide, 6 unit high Eurocard mechanics; please note
that, although the module fits in a VME-like crate, the rear connectors are not VME
standard connectors.
