crate - CAMAC driver and crate controller service
crate [crate_number]
[operation]
Allows manipulation and viewing of crate controller
and computer interface registers and tables in the device driver. The driver
manages the crate controller so direct access by a program is not permitted.
- crate_number
- The number of the crate to be accessed. This isn’t always
used but must always be supplied. See below.
- operation
- See below.

- set inhibit

- rstr - restore crate controller context
- This command restores
all of the crate controller registers. For example, after a crate power
off/on.
This can be useful in cases where you want to shut off the crate
without stopping the control system. The crate may be turned off, changes
made, and the crate switched back on. Next, issue this command and whatever
context restoration is needed such as clearing the inhibit bit or programming
the crate controller lam mask and enabling lams happens.

One might be able to argue that
the arguments to the
crate program should be reversed.
One might better
argue that the program should be converted to long options.....
