Basic checks of VME crate and communication
Firmware
cd VME/caen-firmware-version
./firmware
This mini program reads out the versions of the CAENVME library,
the firmware of the three boards
A2818 (PCI card)
A2719 (optical link add-on)
V2718 (VME conroller card)
This program should only be run if no other program accesses the
VME bridge. Otherwise data corruption or prgram crashes could occur.
Software release : 2.41.0
A3818 firmware : 1.00
A2719 firmware : 1.05
V2718 firmware : 2.14
V1718 firmware :
