Synopsis

SRtask <argument list>

Description

Status read I/O service for CAMAC.

This program supports Kinetic Systems KSC3471 and KSC3472 CAMAC modules.

It also supports CAMAC modules from other manufacturers which use F0 and A0-A15 as CAMAC function codes and map the input bits directly into the CAMAC words.
