Overview

The Mod. V560 is a single width VME module which houses 16 independent 32 bit counting channels at the maximum input frequency of 100 MHz.

Each channel can be software enabled to generate an interrupt signal when the counter is full. The interrupt level and the correlated vector can be set and read via std. VME write and read cycles. Each channel can be cascaded with the following one through internal jumpers to produce a 64 bit counting depth. The status of the internal jumpers can be read via std. VME read cycles.

All the channels can be cleared via the relevant VME command and via the front panel pushbutton. The unit has a standard A24/A32, D32 VME interface.
