5.5.2. - The CAMAC Debugging Program
The utility
camac
is a program that allows you to debug some
CAMAC modules, but only on systems that use a CSS-provided CAMAC kernel
driver.
Invoked as
camac -z,
it will initialize the crate by issuing a dataway Z.
Without arguments,
the program lets you send arbitrary commands to any module.
See the source code in
drivers/camac.c
for details on how the program works.
The
camac
program only works when the CAMAC access is through CSS supplied drivers.
Within spec, the functions
ca_cntl() and
ca_fna() allow similar functionality for debugging CAMAC devices.
