  • Abstract
    As part of the DART Project [Data acquisition for the next Generation Fermilab Fixed Target Experiments] we have developed a package of software for CAMAC access from UNIX and VxWorks platforms, with support for several hardware interfaces. We report on developments for the CES CBD8210 VME to parallel CAMAC, the Hytec VSD2992 VME to serial CAMAC and Jorway 411s SCSI to parallel and serial CAMAC branch drivers, and give a summary of the timings obtained.
