ABOUT 3585
The Model 3585 is a single-width CAMAC module providing a high performance interface
to electronic pressure scanners from either Pressure Systems,
Inc.(PSI) or Scanivalve Corporation. This module accepts analog signals (+/-2.5volts,
+/-5 volts, or +/-10 volts full scale) from the pressure scanners and furnishes the
multiplexer control for these scanners. The 3585 contains a scantable that can be
downloaded from the host computer. This scan table is contained in a 1024 x 16 RAM
memory, allowing the 3585 to monitor up to 1024 pressure channels in a user-selected
order. This module also contains scan-control circuitry, a multiplexer for the analog
signals from the pressure scanners, a sample/hold amplifier, and a 16-bit ADC. The
digital values from the ADC are loaded in a second 1024 x 16 RAM memory. Data
from this memory is read via the CAMAC Dataway. The data memory is fully dualported
and can be read in Enhanced Serial Highway mode.
Each 3585 (in conjunction with the pressure scanners) provides an aggregate sample
rate of 50,000 channels per second (128 channels in 2.56 milliseconds or 1024 channels
in 20.48 milliseconds, for example). The 3585 can be software-configured (via the scan
table) to monitor any number of pressure channels up to a maximum of 1024.
