ABOUT 3664
The Model 3664 is a single-width CAMAC module containing six channels of
time interval counters. Data from the module can be used to represent the time elapsed
between a Start and a Stop pulse, or it can be used to determine the average frequency
of an input pulse train. Each channel contains a 24-bit time interval accumulator and a
16-bit, presettable input pulse counter. Latches are provided to hold the count, thereby
eliminating the need to continuously rewrite the pulse counters.
Time intervals are
derived from a common, crystal-controlled clock on the module having Dataway
selectable frequencies ranging from one hertz to ten megahertz in decade steps. Once
the timing cyclehas been initiated (via front-panel input signal or Dataway command),
the accumulators record timing information until the preset number of input pulses has
been received by the 3664. The overflow from each channel's input pulse counter or
time interval counter stops the timing sequence and sets a LAM Status bit for that
channel.
