Documentation

Class that encapsulates a HV module either in real time through EPICS or its history through the database or both.
Note that the HVmodule is only a physical module that happens to provide the chassis for n HV channels. All the acces to the HV channel (in real time or through the database) are done by the object HVchannel.
Current Handling of the DB access:
We look for the object in the database if we call the constructor with an argument for the serial number. While this is appropriate for the HV test stand (where we use the SerialNumber as identifier for the object) and all the initial user test stands (where we don't have the database), this will not do the job in the long run!).
SUPPORTED MODULES:
1461 mod 104
other PHENIX HV modules will have to be added later

MODIFICATIONS:
Added support for LeCroy 1469 modules using classes hv_module1469, hv_channel1469 and hv_bulksupply classes that inherit from hv_module and hv_channel respectivly.

pstring getName()

Returns the name of the module

pstring getType()

Returns the type of the module

int getNbChannels()

Returns the number of channels of the module

HVchannel* getChannel( const char* pcName )

Returns a pointer to the channel of that module or NULL

int getChannels( list< HVchannel* > &aList )

Fills aList with pointers to the individual channels

virtual int getNbBulkSupplies()

Returns the number of BulkSupplies of the module

virtual HVbulkSupply* getBulkSupply( const char* )

Returns a pointer to the bulk supply of that module or NULL

virtual int getBulkSupplies( list< HVbulkSupply* > &aList )

Fills aList with pointers to the individual bulk supplies if there are any

HVmodule( const char* Name, const char* Type, const char *SerialNb = NULL )

Constructor

Parameters:: Name - : name of the module (as given by the user, EPICS, db
Type - : 1461N104, 1469P, you name it
SerialNb - : Serial number of the module. If not NULL, then we go into the database and find the object.
