Abstract

FASTCAMAC is a proposed extension to the CAMAC standard which adds a block transfer capability with data transfer rates as high as 60 megabytes per second. It is designed to be compatible with normal CAMAC. Normal CAMAC modules and FASTCAMAC modules can operate together in a standard CAMAC crate without interference. The draft specification has been completed and will be presented to the NIM committee for inclusion in the CAMAC standard
