Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

A VME-resident Camac crate controller is described which maps all Camac functions into the address space of a 68000 microprocessor. The controller also contains a VME bus requester, thus allowing it to contribute Camac data, completely formatted, to a global event buffer.
