Each STARGRASP boardset controls up to 2 independent detector devices (referred to as "dev 0" and "dev 1"). |
| 4 |
4 |
Each of these two devices can have up to 8 output amplifiers (16 channels per daq board.) These commands take a similar '''name="value"''' parameter syntax as the demo scripts. We intend to collect information from our internal site and complete the possible parameter lists for each of these, under the (currently dead) links below: |
