=====================================================
Contact: D. Wark
Revision History:-
================
5.00 D. Wark First version.
5.02 N. Oblath Added status bits to differentiate NCD signals
Added double-precision pulse time
Added trigger flag and trigger time words
Added a reference link to MCNQ
Description
-----------
These banks hold the current generated in an NCD counter after the preamplification.
It is formed from a sum of individual MCNC unamplified currents.
Reference Links
---------------
-4 -KMCNA_MCNQ MCNQ The associated shaper bank
-3 -KMCNA_MCNA MCNA The next preamplified current that contributes to the
same MCNS signal bank.
-2 -KMCNA_MCNS MCNS The signal bank this preamplified current contributed to.
-1 -KMCNA_MCNC MCNC The first unamplified current that produced this amplified.
(Follow MCNC's _MCNC link for the remainder).
Structural Links
----------------
None.
Status Bits
-----------
Note: Any status bit parameters are defined to work with bit functions such as
IAND and BTEST.
Bit Mnemonic Description
--- -------- -----------
0 KMCNS_MUX_SIGNAL Indicates this bank is a MUX (MCNS) bank -- should never be set when lifting this bank
1 KMCNS_SHP_SIGNAL Indicates this bank is a Shaper (MCNQ) bank -- should never be set when lifting this bank
2 KMCNS_PREAMP_SIGNAL Indicates this bank is a preamplified-current bank -- should always be set when lifting this bank
