Editing Minicom alternative, new CAEN HV interface (Freeman) (section)

== Introduction ==

I was assigned to implement an alternative interface to the ''CAEN N1470'' HV card. The original plan was to see if something existed already, then use this as a model to program something. I found that CAEN provides a java interface to their board. It requires the RXTXComm java library as the Serial interface. Getting this library to work was challenging. I just happened to find an updated .rpm package, which had updated libraries, which I was ultimately able to get working on the current installation of CentOS, on host '''jlabdaq'''. Originally, I used an older version of the RXTXComm library which was giving '''''segmentation faults''''' when triing to connect to the ttyUSBx port. Do to time constraints I was not able to program something, so the following sections highlight the installation and troubleshooting of CAEN's interface.
