Table 15. Package Versions
The changes to the individual packages are detailed below.
Small internal change to discard "bad event data". The LATp packet read routine now scans the FIFO looking for a word where ( (word & 0x30000) == 0x30000 ) – this indicates the start of a LATp control cell, which is also the start of a LATp packet. This work-a-round is required because under high rate testing the VME COMM I/O board is generating spurious FIFO words between complete packets. This method is not 100% fool-proof, because a spurious word could also match the above check, however most do not.
In addition, extra debugging output is also generated on the VxWorks console when LATp errors are detected. The dump now contains the words from the previous response, plus the current response words. This information is useful to for the VME COMM I/O Hardware engineer.
Small change to record correct event size for events that have errors. Previously the event size for events in error was set incorrectly.
Added global counter variables used to monitor the event call-back routines. Counters are now incremented before and after calling the user supplied call-back routines for event memory allocation and for event data processing. By checking these counters one can determine if a call-back routine is blocking, since the before counter will be one count large than the after counter. The new globals are shown below:
ggEvtAllocA – Before Counter for allocation call-back.
ggEvtAllocB – After Counter for allocation call-back.
ggEvtHandlerA – Before Counter for event processing call-back.
ggEvtHandlerB – After Counter for event processing call-back.
These globals are accessible from the VxWorks command line.
