Abstract

The ECLine-Driver is a dual 256 words of 16 bits fast ECLine generator fully controlled by CAMAC. Designed to fit requirements of high energy physics experiments, its flexibility makes it a general purpose unit.

It is used on the LEP L3 experiment, at CERN, to implement two applications. In the first one, it generates the “trigger detector” response in order to exercise the different trigger processors under experimental conditions. In the second one, it generates some 10000 synchronisation signals required to drive the level-1 energy trigger processor. 70 units are installed on the experiment.
