LPA Precincts
This next section is intended as a fairly complete reference source. It lists sundry details for each of the LATC precincts. As such it is highly repetitive. So it goes. For each precinct we will provide certain information. Namely:
- The details of the registers in that precinct in a concise chart which gives certain information. ``Group'' is the hardware component on which the register is located. ``Instances'' is the number of specific instance of that register, broken down by the hardware hierarchy. ``Multiplicity'' means the number of associated registers with similar names and functionality on each hardware instance. ``Subsections'' are the number of independent data on the register. If ``Type'' is ``int'' then the register should just be read as a number, if ``type'' is ``fields'' then the register should be broken into component fields, and if ``type'' is ``mask'' the register is a bit mask where each bit enables or disables a channel or group of channels.
- If any of the registers can be broken down into fields, we provide the field mapping.
- A list of the different methods available to configure this precinct and some brief descriptions of non-trivial ones.
- A list of the ancillary files used by this precinct.
- A list of the input constants need by this precinct.
In some cases we will provide additional information to clarify special cases.
