How to edit CAMAC configuration file

If any connections between CAMAC modules and detector modules are changed, you have to change "CAMAC configuration file":
e912ftp.fnal.gov:/t912/conf/conf-camac.vnnnn
for "ASCII->Ntuple conversion. Here "nnnn" denotes a version number of the configuration file.
  1. First you should know:
    1. which detector module and which channel you want to change, and
    2. from which run, this change should be applied.
  2. If your PATH includes /t912/bt/bin, then just type:
          edit-conf
          
    command. If not,
          /t912/bt/bin/edit-conf
          
    instead.
  3. After some messages which show new version number, "emacs" will be activated.
  4. Here, you can edit configuration file as you want, and terminate "emacs."
  5. You will be asked for a run number, from which this file should be applied.
  6. btconv will automatically use this new file afterwards, hopefully, according to a "run number - version number" database. For conversions of old runs, configuration files in older versions are stil used.
If you find any troubles, please report to Kanzaki a.s.a.p.
