| - | * 100 Ohm | + | ===== Command list ===== |
| - | * 100 Ohm | + | The main idea of the CDAQ is that you can send a list of commands to several |
| - | * 1 kOhm | + | clients and the software will handle their execution: it will wait until one |
| - | * 1 kOhm | + | command finishes before executing the next. This is accomplished via a ' |
| - | * 1 kOhm | + | A ' |
| - | * 1 kOhm | + | - A `simple` queue, which will execute the commands and erase them once they |
| + | are done. | ||
| + | - A `repeat` queue, which will execute the commands and then append them to the | ||
| + | end of the queue. | ||
| - | ^ Supply | + | Each CCD client can either be treated as an individual client or as part of a CCD pool. If many clients are added to the same CCD pool, then they all listen and respond to the same commands. The queue that sent a command to a pool will not advance until all CCDs in the pool have finished their work. The general command structure is: |
| - | | +5 V | 4.02 A | 110 mA | + | |
| - | | +3.3 V | + | **./ |
| - | | -30 V | | + | |

The CCDID is set by the board for example board number 105 has the ID ccd105. All daq functions can be found in the acmpy.py file.
