The CAEN Mod. C219 is a single width CAMAC module housing 16 channels, which can be set independently, via CAMAC functions, as Input or Output channels. An internal 16 bit mask register can be programmed via CAMAC to enable or disable each channel. Each channel is equipped with a 4-bit status register, which can be written in order to determine the operating mode. Inputs and Outputs can be enabled via CAMAC (Transparent Mode) or by an external Strobe signal (Externally Strobed Mode).
Each channel can also work in Glitched Mode; in this operating mode a positive or negative transition of an input signal can be memorized in the Input Register. The module features also a programmable LAM signal generator.
