2.2. Reserved System Pattern Names

Reserved system pattern names exist for the 54 trigger input signals. These pattern names can only be defined (assigned to). They cannot be used to form other patterns -- use regular named patterns for that purpose. The reserved system pattern names are:


TEM[i].TKR
TEM[i].CAL_LE
TEM[i].CAL_HE
TEM[i].BUSY

where i = 0, 1, 2, 3

FREE[j].CNO
FREE[j].VETO[k]

where j = 0, 1
      k = 0..17 

The values assigned to these patterns will be used to program the VME LAT COMM I/O Board FIFOs for playback.

2.2.1. Example: Programming a System Pattern Name

For example, to program the VETO17 signal of FREE board 1 with 100 copies of the CLOCK_4 pattern defined in Section 2.1.1 one could write:


FREE[1].VETO[17]:   -- Assign system pattern
  CLOCK_4(100)      -- Repeat pattern CLOCK_4 100 times
