Talk:Modular crate electronics

from Gevmage: I noticed today that Wikipedia has articles on the main four modular crate electronics standards, but not an article that I could find that ties them together and compares and contrasts them. I think this is useful because the standards feed off of each other and they're often used together to complement each other's strengths.

I created the page and linked to each of the various buse's pages. I also linked back from all the bus pages except VME, which is the one I know least about.

I added a few pieces of electrical and physical information to a few of the bus pages.

I did a bit of searching and I added links to the new page from a few places where it was appropriate.

Yes, I know the page doesn't have any references. That's because everything I typed is all out of my head, from having worked in this field in graduate school from January 1997 through July 2002. As far as references for what I'm saying, I'll work on looking those up. I have a LeCroy catalog, which probably has at least some descriptions of the crate standards.

As far as a reference, here's a good place to start: Fermilab electronics page The "types" section have introductions to all the types of modules except FASTBUS (which may well be considered obsolete nowadays). I also have a paper LeCroy catalog but it looks like the intros on that page are LeCroy catalog intros anyway.
