ABOUT 3344
The Model 3344 is a single-width CAMAC module that interfaces the CAMAC Dataway to as many as four separate RS-232 serial ports. Sixteen data rates are available: 50, 75, 110, 134.5, 150, 300, 600, 1200, 1800, 2000, 2400, 3600,4800, 7200, 9600, and 19,200 Baud. Data rates are programmable from the Dataway on a per channel basis, as are the number of data bits (from five to eight), the number of stop bits (one or two) parity error checking, and control character recognition capabilities.

Two 1024 character buffers are provided for each channel, one for input and one for output. These buffers provide elastic communications between the Dataway and remote devices. As a diagnostic aid, input can be echoed back to the output as well as sent to the computer. The echo feature is programmable.

On output block transfers, the buffer is filled by performing Write commands until a Q = 0 response is detected. A Q = 0 response indicates that the buffer is full. The module will continue to transmit the block of data at its selected Baud rate until the output buffer is empty.
