Subject: refreshing CAMACs
From: "Garrett D. Rinehart" <[email protected]>

I've got a CAMAC crate inside the source for our linac which stands at 750KeV potential. 
Arcing wreaks havoc with the crate controller periodically. To remedy this, I've found it 
sufficient to reinitiallize the crate controller every ten seconds, whether it needs it or 
not. Now that I've upgraded everything from 3.12.1 to 3.13.0b11, I thought I'd ask if there 
was a better method. 

I used to use a subroutine record which would execute the old:
  int Q=0;
  int CTRLR=0;
  int DATA=0x100;
  int crateNum = 1;

  crateNum = (int)(pRec->a);

  ccinit(0);
  
  cdreg(&CTRLR, 0, crateNum, 30, 0);
  cfsa(17, CTRLR, &DATA, &Q);

Should I replace those commands with the new flavors:
  ccinit(0)
  camacCrateInit (0,10)

Or is there a better way?

Thanks in advance.
