CaenHV Satellite#

Satellite controlling a CAEN high-voltage crate such as the SY5527 and its modules

Description#

This Satellite allows to control CAEN high-voltage crates such as the SY5527 and the inserted modules.

Requirements#

The CaenHV satellite requires the [caenhv] component, which can be installed with:

Source

pip install --no-build-isolation -e .[caenhv]

PyPI

pip install ConstellationDAQ[caenhv]

Parameters#

The following parameters need to be specified in the configuration file. System and connection parameters are required.

Parameter	Description	Type	Default Value
`system`	The type of crate connected, e.g. `"SY5527"`	String	-
`link`	The type of connection, e.g. `"TCPIP"` or `"USB"`	String	-
`link_argument`	Additional information for the connection, e.g. the ip address `"192.168.8.2"`	String	-
`user`	The user name to connect with	String	-
`password`	The password to connect with	String	-
`board[BNUM]_ch[CHNUM]_[PARNAME]`	Parameters for individual channels where `[BNUM]`is the board number, `[CHNUM]` the channel number and `[PARNAME]`the parameter to be configured.	-	-

The available parameter names for board[BNUM]_ch[CHNUM]_[PARNAME] depend on the model of the board in use. For the A7435SN, this would be V0Set, I0Set, V1Set, I1Set, RUp, RDWn, Trip, SVMax, VMon, IMon, Status, Pw, POn, PDwn, ImRange, TripInt, TripExt, ZCDetect, and ZCAdjust

Usage#

A minimal configuration would be:

[satellites.CaenHV.sy5527]
# Device-specific system settings for the SY5527-controlling Satellite
system="SY5527"
link="TCPIP"
link_argument="192.168.8.2"
username="myuser"
password="mypassword!"

board1_ch1_V0Set = 1
board1_ch1_pw = "on"

Framework Parameters#

This satellite inherits the following framework parameters from its base classes:
