Class Description

The SIS8800 is the MicroTCA equivalent to the SIS3820. This class supports the operation as a 16 channel scaler, all NIM/50 Ohm. It has 4 control inputs, 4k7 against 3.3 V. 0V is interpreted as logical 1, but will be inverted to comply with the SIS3820 behaviour.

Attributes:

Name Description
CountsScalar: DevDouble the counter contents of a channel, implicitly triggers a copy to the shadow register. It cannot be written. Use reset() to set it to 0.
OffsetScalar: DevDouble the offset is subtrated from the counter reading

Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State
Device state		 This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: ConstDevString
Device status		 This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
ResetInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid
return status		 Resets a channel, clears the coounter contents
