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   :       
  

Test FEDs

  cd VME/CAEN
  ./test_feds.exe 
  Open VME interface 0
  ...
  FED read OK, FED = 2, Slot= 5, Base= 11000000, GA data 0
  Firmware version :  606140c 606140c 606140c 606140c 1704140c
  ...
  FED read test done 

Test FECs

  cd VME/CAEN
  ./test_feds.exe 
   Open VME interface 0
   ...
   ----------------
   FEC in slot 12, BaseAddress = 60000000
    ID_REG 60000300 value = 21- sysid = 0 version 2 subversion 1
    This FEC is in unknown mode : 0
    CONFIG0 60000304 value = b8- sysid = 0
    This FEC is in unknown mode 0
    STATUS 6000030c value = 8e100003- TTCrx READY  QPLL LOCKED 
    VME firmware version 600002cc value = 16
   ----------------
   FEC in slot 13, BaseAddress = 68000000
    ID_REG 68000300 value = 4016- sysid = 4 version 1 subversion 6
    This FEC is in pixel mode
    CONFIG0 68000304 value = 40b8- sysid = 4
    This FEC is in pixel mode
    STATUS 6800030c value = 8edc0001- TTCrx READY  QPLL NOT Locked??? 
    VME firmware version 680002cc value = 16
    
    

Test TTC
