Rrequest for CAMAC crate loaner

[Joe Sullivan <sullivan@aps.anl.gov>]

Hi all,

Please contact me if you have a CAMAC crate (with  +/-12V) I can borrow 
for about
2 months.  I have a Data Design Minicrate 1000 on order but they are 
quoting a 6-8 week delivery.

I was scaling the CAMAC learning curve with M. Rivers' Epics support and 
a XIA DXP-2X (2 channel)
module using an older crate and learned that the 12V power supply is 
optional in the CAMAC specs.

The DXP-2C  (unlike the earlier DXP-4C) will error during 
'dxp_initialize'  if  +/-12V is not present.
The error message is 'Timeout waiting for DSP BUSY = 0' in case you run 
into the same thing.

I would like to get the first SRI-CAT CAMAC module running in time for 
the next APS run so
please help.

Thanks.
