A toolsheet for testing SCM-301 is provided in the Kmax distribution package.
Start Kmax and open the SCM301_TEST toolsheet. It is locatedin the "Kmax_StuffToolsheet Examples7_DAC HardwareSCM_301&Jorway_73A" directory (folder ). "GO"

Compile the toolsheet and then click the "GO" button. Select the "Control Panel" tab at the top of the toolsheet. Buttons at the top of this "Control Panel" allows you to Initialize the controller, set the CAMAC Inhibit, clear the CAMAC Inhibit, and control the LAM/SRQ features. A good first test, if the compile was successful is to set and clear the inhibit. The I-light on the controller should turn on and off.

Just below the INITIALIZATION pane you will see a DATA IO pane. This pane will let you select a slot and subaddress and also allow you to enter data in the "OUT DATA" text field. The "Write Int" button uses a F=0 to write the data to the selected crate address.

Examine the toolsheet methods to learn how to use the Device IO methods to communicate with the CAMAC hardware.
