CAMAC Progress Report

                      Week Ending: July 13, 2001
                               Week: 24


Tom Folkers:
     1. Began the arduous task of converting the core 'high-level' 
        language programs that make up the 'tracker/servo' system to 
        Linux. The following programs are, to the first order, 
        working: tscom, respond & tracker.
     2. Spent the rest of week converting and compiling the control 
        system higher level programs.
     3. Most of the core control system programs are ready: rambo, 
        monitor, status, alarmpanel, the sound daemon, etc.
     4. I seem to be stuck on the exec task. There is a difference 
        between the Solaris version of lex and the Linux version that 
        keeps it from running. I have a call into Jeff Hagen asking 
        for help.

Tom Sargent:
     1. Fixed a bug in the azimuth raw data recording software. 
     2. Changed and debugged the reference pulse detection logic so it 
        now reports all reference pulse detections regardless of 
        whether it was armed to change the cycle count or not. 
     3. Moved the Linux host program that communicates with the T.I. 
        DSP to the SMT tracker/ directory and made it compile there.  
        Also changed its name to "servo". 
     4. A number of additions have been made to servo.  It is now 
        interfacing to some of the other control programs through the 
        global shared memory. It has been altered to update the UT and 
        LST time displays as well as the date and the commanded and 
        actual telescope positions.  Some other minor refinements were 
        made.
     5. Fixed a bug in the IRIG driver. 

Pete Hubbard:
     1. Counter interface box add ferrules to wiring that were on back 
        order from Allied electronics.
     2. Design line receivers that convert signals from VCO box that 
        feed DRUMBEAT to enable mux board with unipolar inputs to 
        operate with differential input signals.
     3. Start wiring Mux board and making a list of needed parts.

Dave Ashby:
     1. No Report.
