Subsystem
A pod is a front end device that acquires data for a particular set of
parameters. A pod may contain a processor and return preprocessed data
or it may provide raw A/D samples.
Refer to Figure 2-6.
5.1 Overview
Data acquisition of the monitor is controlled by several DMA controllers that
operate on circular buffers residing in common memory on the FRONT
END bus. There are four channels, each allocated a 16 bit transmit buffer
and a 16 bit receive buffer. It takes four 32 bit transfers to update one
location in every buffer, since each access consists of high and low data
from different channels. The transmit buffer tells the pod either what sample
to take or to change a control setting. The receive buffer contains a/d
samples and status information from the pod. A control register in the FPGA
sets a mux to the DSP’s communication port and connects the selected pod
com channel.
