Some CBLT Tests

CBLT32 timing tests:

Scope plot of *AS line during CBLT32, 56 word transaction (Hit Count Buffers),
with 4 boards in crate (slots:7,10,16,21) and our old Crate CPU.

- 225 ns per 32-bit VME word. => 17.78 MB/s on the backplane.


 


Scope plot of *AS line during CBLT32, 166 word transaction (Hit Data Buffers - same event),
with 4 boards in crate (slots:7,10,16,21) and our old Crate CPU.

- 229.52 ns per 32-bit VME word on average => 17.47 MB/s on the backplane;
- the 4.5 ns difference comes from the *AS getting High for 180 ns after each group of 64 words.
