A high voltage power supply normally used for detector electronics.

They are communicated with using Ethernet using an IOC originally developed at the Canadian Lightsource.

Communicating with multiple CAENs

A single IOC can communicate with up to 8 CAEN crates.

To do this the crates must be added into the st.cmd as so:

CAENx527ConfigureCreate "hv0", "_IP_ADDR1_"
CAENx527ConfigureCreate "hv1", "_IP_ADDR2_"

When CAENx527DbLoadRecords is called it will then create PVs of the form hv0:_SLOT_:_CHANNEL_
