Critical Notes

Always cleanly reset the MCE after a power-up or a reconfiguration! If not, MCE communication with the PC or Sync Box may not work.

> mce_reset_clean

After an mce_reset, not all of the DAC outputs are set to zero. In addition, values written to RAM-based registers are not reset. A full reconfiguration is required for a proper reset.

> rs psc cycle_pow 1
> mce_reset_clean

You can download all the MCE firmware configuration files here. To upload a file to this folder, make sure that permissions are set correctly:

> ssh phas.ubc.ca
> cd ~mce/public_html/mcedocs/firmware
> chmod o+r rc_*.pof

Information on recommended versions of firmware, and lists of compatible firmware files across cards are here: Compatible Versions (CC,RC,BC,AC)

Information on the firmware for each card can be found through the links below:

All that you need to know about logging into our CVS repository can be found here:

We decided (sadly) NOT to migrate from CVS to SVN, if we ever do here is some information:
