The midas documentation has moved. The new documentation about the macros defined by midas is in:
 
* [https://midas.triumf.ca/docs/develop/api/cpp/definitions/#event-header-macros Event header macros] on the Midas C++ API - constants and generic macros page
==Introduction==
* [https://midas.triumf.ca/docs/develop/api/cpp/definitions/#camac CAMAC] on the same page (the LAM macros)
The following MACROS have been provided in the MIDAS package.
* [https://midas.triumf.ca/docs/develop/api/cpp/msystem/#msmacroh System Macros] on the Midas C++ API - system internals (msystem.h) page (the byte-swap macros)
 
==Byte Swap Macros==
Thes macros are provided for big/little endian byte-swapping
*  WORD_SWAP
*  DWORD_SWAP
*   QWORD_SWAP
 
These macros are used by bk_swap();
 
==CAMAC Macros==
Midas provides Macros for CAMAC LAM manipulation which may be used in the [[Frontend user code]] or analyzer code. These Macros are used to interact with the LAM register. Usually the CAMAC Crate Controller has the feature that it is able to register one bit per slot and present this register to the user. It may even have the option to mask off this register to allow to set a "general" LAM register containing either "1" (At least one LAM from the masked LAM is set) or "0" ( no LAM set from the masked LAM register). The  [[Frontend user code#Function poll_event|poll_event()]] routine uses this feature to return a variable which contains a bit-wise value of the current LAM register in the Crate Controller.
 
*  LAM_SOURCE
* LAM_STATION
*  LAM_SOURCE_CRATE
*  LAM_SOURCE_STATION
 
==Event Header Macros==
* TRIGGER_MASK
* EVENT_ID
* SERIAL_NUMBER
* TIME_STAMP
* DATA_SIZE

The midas documentation has moved. The new documentation about the macros defined by midas is in:

  • Event header macros on the Midas C++ API - constants and generic macros page
  • CAMAC on the same page (the LAM macros)
  • System Macros on the Midas C++ API - system internals (msystem.h) page (the byte-swap macros)
