C++BOLD Example Design: CRB

CRB is a custom passive backplane intended to be mounted in the J5/J6 area of a 21-slot 9U VME subrack.

As noted in comments in the source code, the backplane is keyed to accept two types of 9U boards: a Timing Interface Module (TIM) and sixteen ReadOut Drivers (ROD's). The TIM slot is centered between two sets of eight ROD slots.

The backplane does not include connectors for the leftmost four slots (slots 1-4), because these slots are reserved for 6U boards.

The design illustrates:

NB: This design uses a Designator Text File, crb_old_designators.txt, to manually specify some reference designators.
