A view of the ACM board, installed in its mechanical housing that slides into the CAMAC crate. The board itself is an 8-layer design, with generous ground planes and minimal signal-line overlap. From left to right are:

• The CAMAC double-sided edge-connector,
• Reprogramming port (upper-left) for reprogramming PLDs,
• input/output buffers,
• voltage regulators (lower-left and upper-center),
• the large PLD handling the CAMAC interface (commands, data I/O),
• the smaller (and faster) PLD for timing control and signal input/output,
• the front panel, with 22 LEMO connectors and a few LEDs.
