Vme : Large Leverage From a Small Extension
Author: Ron Fox
Abstract
Experiments at the National Superconducing Cyclotron Laboratory
at Michigan State Univeristy (NSCL/MSU) require the ability to access
a wide variety of electronics housed in VME bus backplanes. While the
main data flow of an experiment requires software that is highly
tuned for performance, a number of slow control applications are often
running at the same time. This paper will describe Vme a very small
Tcl extension that provides access to the VME backplane.
A short tutorial on the VME bus will be presented. The design goals
of the extension are described. The VME interface hardware on which
it has been implemented are also described. I will survey some of the
applications that have been implemented in pure Tcl on top of this extension
by myself and experimenters at the NSCL/MSU.
