Names of MVME cpu boards for MUSR DAQ


Each beamline (M15,M20,M9B and DEV) has two MVME cpu boards in use for MUSR. A MVME162 is used to run CAMAC and CAMP, and an MVME2305 power-pc (PPC) board is used for the VME Histogram Memory and to readout the TDC (clock), the IOREG, SCALERS etc.  The MVME boards communicate with the DAQ Linux box via Ethernet.

The names of the MVME cpu boards are as follows:
