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.
