Introduction
The ROSModules package has undergone a major revision as described in EDMS.
The package implements a Sequential API to support
DataFlow in ROD Crate DAQ applications driven
by polling or (VMEbus) interrupts.
General changes since release DF-01-00-00
- the internal computation of the port number has been removed from
the modules with Ethernet input. Therefore the parameter
channelPhysicalAddress specifies the absolute port number. Make sure
that you are not using a reserved port number.
- two new classes added: EthSequentialDataChannel and
EthSSequentialReadoutModule. This is a re-implementation of
EthReadoutModule based on the new architecture.
- support for Sequential Data Input and Interrupt Handling.
- implementation of EmulatedSequential Module and DataChannel
with RCD dataflow and internal generation of ROD fragments (instead of
via VMEbus)
Changes in API
The API has been generalised
to include Sequential Input as decsribed in the EDMS note
Known bugs, problems and limitations
Currently none.
