As noted previously, we were having problems with getting multiple 32 channel binary output cards working. Alex came by and we eventually tracked the problem down to an incorrect counter in the c code. This has been fixed and checked into the CDS svn repository. I tested the actual hardware and we are in fact able to turn our test LEDs on with multiple binary output boards.
Alex and I also looked at the non-functional IO chassis (the one which wouldn't sync with the 1PPS signal and wasn't turning on when the computer turned on. We discovered one corner of the trenton board wasn't screwed down and was in fact slightly warped. I screwed it down properly, straightening the board out in the process. After this, the IO chassis worked with a host interface board to the computer and started properly. We were able to see the boards attached as well with lspci. So that chassis looks to be in working condition now.
Onwards to the RFM test. |
