AMC13 C++ Class

• Handle more initialization options, esp bits in register 1:
  • bit 1 - S-link (DAQ Link) enable
  • bit 5 - enable TTCrx commands
  • bit 7 - enable fake event generator
• Create method which returns the register address upon receiving the register name

AMC13Tool

• add command-line "-x "
• "rd" should display in 8 columns
• filename completion
• "i", "en" and "enT" should all be synonyms
  • handle input link range, i.e. "0-11" and "0, 3-11"
  • add options to "en" command to handle DAQ Link enable, fake event generation "D" and "F"
  • i.e. "en 4,10 d f"
• too many reset commands!
• ALL hex values should be displayed with "%08x" format (except status display cases)
• read commands (incl block and FIFO) should display multiple columns (8 words per line)
  • MODIFIED if number of words read is <= 16, display in single column. If > 16, display 8 words per line
• should be able to read more than one time when address is entered by name
• edit status display so that EVB counters (both 64-bit and 32-bit) are lined up as one, with the 32-bit counters having their upper section blank
• All read and write commands should treat equivalently an address-name entry and address-integer entry
• Edit the menu display for greater clarity and accuracy
• Be more specific with error messages, tailoring them carefully towards specific command-line typos
• Add comments to all functions in Tool_funcs.cc clarifying function, arguments, and returns

Status Display Maintenance

• Eric (perhaps with Charlie) needs to in some way, shape, or form prioritize status registers for display (0 being highest priority, 2 being lowest)
• Eric needs to add descriptions for the following recently added status display registers in status.cc, a copy of which can be found in [cms2] ~chill90/:
  • array amc_sync_regs [] (line 139)
  • in array evb_mon_regs []: "LSCDAQ_STATUS" (line 173)
  • in array vol_regs []: "V6_DIE_TEMP" (line 157)
