CAMAC - sjy (LINUX) Readme File  |  Software  |  Documentation Abstract The sjy (LINUX) product contains code to operate the Jorway Model 411S SCSI Bus CAMAC Highway Driver and the Jorway Model 73A SCSI Bus CAMAC Crate Controller for IBM PC compatible machines running LINUX. We provide a library for the ANSI/IEEE Std 758-1979 calls as well as example/test code. This release suppports multi-user and multi-branch configurations. Currently, CAMAC LAMs can be polled, but do not interrupt the PC. Performance tests with a 100Mhz Pentium system and the Jorway 73A showed a DMA startup rate of 0.2 milliseconds, and maximum data transfer rates of 1.3 Mbyte/s in 16 and 24 bit mode with 32200 byte buffers. Tests with the Jorway 411S showed 16 bit word maximum transfer rates of 330 Kbyte/s with a serial controller and 773 Kbyte/sec with a parallel controller. Rates were almost twice that for 24 bit word transfers. Please refer to documentation included in the sjy (LINUX) product for installation and use.
