Module Owner: Mark Rivers: University of Chicago
This page is the home of mca.
mca supports Multi-Channel Analyzers (hence the name), and also related devices such as multi-channel scalers (MCS), waveform digitizers, and programmable ADCs, amplifiers and power supplies.
mca includes a new record, the mcaRecord.
Devices supported in mca include:
From Canberra Industries
From Struck Innovative Systems
mcaRecord device support for additional devices can be found in other synApps modules that I've written. These include dxp, ip330, and quadEM.
Please email any comments and bug reports to Mark Rivers who is responsible for coordinating development and releases.

After obtaining a copy of the distribution, it must be installed and built for use at your site. These steps only need to be performed once for the site (unless versions of the module running under different releases of EPICS and/or the other required modules are needed).
