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. Follow the links to see possible parameter lists for each of these. Documentation for some low level commands is still under construction. If you require additional information for a command, please request it. |
