ABOUT 3115
The Model 3115 is a single-width CAMAC module containing six channels of sampling digital-to-analog conversion. Each channel is comprised of a 12-bit D/A converter which is driven by a 1024-word First In, First Out memory. Once loaded from the Dataway, data is clocked out of the FIFO and into the converter unit where it is transformed to an analog voltage signal.
Strap options are provided so that the output range of each channel can be changed in the field to +/-2.5 volts, +/-5 volts, +/-10, 0 to 5 volts, or 0 to +10 volts, independent of other channel settings. The module uses a two's complement technique to represent the data in the bipolar ranges and complementary straight binary for the unipolar ranges.
Clocking FIFO outputs is common for all channels on the module and is accomplished at a rate determined by the clock control register. The eightclock rates, selected from an on-board, crystal-controlled source, are 10, 5,2.5, and 1 kilohertz, and 500, 250, 100, and 50 hertz.
An external clock input and a clock output connection are also provided, so that one 3115 can act as the master clock source for other modules.
