The attribute ACQUCON

In the LAND database, table ELECLOC has an additional attribute called ACQUCON. It is used by a bunch of routines which at the beginning of a PAW session generate the ZEBRA banks which serve for the mapping of raw data words onto physical detectors. ACQUCON tells those routines whether a module provides data or not: For CFDs, multiplexers or CAMAC HV controllers, ACQUCON is zero, for CAMAC ADCs and TDCs it is one, and for fastbus modules it is two. In case you are on night shift, run into a problem, and are forced to modify the programs without support by an expert, table  tries to depict the hierarchy of routines using this attribute. Watch out: Some of them put the value of ACQUCON into a variable which is called 'branch'!!
