== LabVIEW programs for detector-lab instruments ==
Several subVIs has been made to ease the use of instruments avaliable in the lab. Larger VIs then use these subVIs to set up a complete test-system that can control, monitor and capture data from experiments.

== SubVIs ==
The following subVIs has been made for the CAEN ADC. In addition the VIs provided by CAEN for the PCI-link bridge is needed to use these.

=== CAEN ADC ===
After the CAENVME_INIT subVI has been started (parameters "1,0,0"), a handle to the PCI-bridge is given. This handle is used by all subsequent VIs to communicate with the ADC. For further information refer to the technical documents for the ADC.

* ''''ADC_Reset'''' Resets the adc, stops data acqusition.
* ''''ADC_setMode'''' Set bitdepth, enable interrupt and auto-start acqusition after readout.
* ''''ADC_setTriggerMode'''' Sets internal/external/random trigger signal and edge.
* ''''ADC_setPostTrig'''' Sets the window position in relation to the trigger (0-127, 64 equals trigger in centre).
* ''''ADC_setTriggers'''' Enables the triggers, and sets the threshold voltage [-1, 1]V.
* ''''ADC_StartAcqusition'''' Starts capturing data, needs only to be run once if ''auto restart AC'' is enabled in ADC_setMode.
* ''''ADC_waitForInterrupt'''' Use this to pause loop until data is captured. Needs CAENVME_IRQEnable and interrupt enabled in ADC_setMode.
* ''''ADC_readRAM
* ''''Global_Settings'''' Global constants like ADC address and other shared variables are stored here.
