ARTEMIS: a VMS based Fastbus module testing and evaluation system

A flexible Fastbus module testing and evaluation system is described. It has been developed in conjunction with the Ames Waveform Digitizer being used in the DELPHI experiment at LEP (Large Electron Positron Collider). The system hardware includes a DEC MicroVAX II (or equivalent) running microVMS w...

Description
Summary:A flexible Fastbus module testing and evaluation system is described. It has been developed in conjunction with the Ames Waveform Digitizer being used in the DELPHI experiment at LEP (Large Electron Positron Collider). The system hardware includes a DEC MicroVAX II (or equivalent) running microVMS with Fastbus and GPIB instrumentation buses. The software is menu driven, makes extensive use of the screen management routines of the VAX/VMS system, and is designed for easy modification. In a period of about four months, 600 Fastbus modules currently in use in the DELPHI experiment were tested and debugged.< >
