CANopen protocol overview and some message syntax details
Here is some background information on the low-level workings of the CAN-bus:
"CANbus - hardware description" by Bjorn Hallgren, CERN (also in PDF).
"Controller Area Network (CAN), an overview" by the CAN-in-Automation (CiA) users and manufacturers organization.

CALDAQ

CALDAQ problems
A list of problems that occurred and their solution (if there was any...)

CALDAQ Software

"ZEUS CALDAQ Transputer System, Technical notes"
(also available in PDF-format)

"Schematic of the CALDAQ Transputer System" (PDF, A4-size)

"Debugging and Test Utilities for the CALDAQ Transputer Network"

"User Software Documentation 2TP-VME module (MK4)"


CSB Software

"Testing individual CSB modules" (PDF)
"CSB_xCAL, checking (internal) connections" (PDF)
"CSB_GSLTB, checking (internal) connections" (PDF)

A bit outdated, but gives you the general idea....:
"Data Acquisition Software for the CSB_xCAL" (PDF)


High-Voltage Controller Software

(SRTD, BPC, PRESAMPLER, FPC)

"SRTD High-Voltage Supply Controller Software" (PDF)
User Manual and Reference, Version 5.0, Dec 1994.

"High-Voltage Supply Controller Software (for PRESAMPLER and BPC)" (PDF)
User Manual and Reference, Version 1.1, Jan 1995.
(also applies to the high-voltage supplies for the Forward Plug Calorimeter (Sept 1997))

Fixing corrupted HV-controller calibration constants in EEPROM:
How, what and where
Source code of the tools: float2bytes.c and hexline.c
HV-supplies calibration parameters: SRTD-HV, BPC-HV, PRESAMPLER-HV, FPC-HV

Find here some documentation on the hardware
