ABOUT 3952
The Model 3952 is a double-width Type L-2 serial crate controller (SCC) providing the
interface between the CAMAC Serial Highway and the Dataway in a CAMAC crate. It
fully complies with IEEE Standards 583 and 595. The standard Serial Highway (SH)
protocol provides for one Dataway operation associated with each message.
KineticSystems Corporation has developed enhanced block modes to the SH protocol
for applications where an extremely high data throughput is needed. The enhanced 3952
supports this block protocol. A CAMAC Serial Highway system consists of a Serial
Highway driver (such as the 2160) interfaced to the host computer, the Serial Highway
itself, and up to 62 Type L-2 serial crate controllers.
The 3952 enhanced L-2 SCC provides all features set forth in IEEE Standard 583 for
crate controllers and IEEE-595 for Type L-2 SCCs. When a Serial Highway driver
(such as the 2160) transmits a multi-CAMAC-word command message, an addressed
enhanced SCC switches to block mode to interpret the message and perform the
Dataway operations.
