Hi Mike Capotosto & all,
	I'm forwarding info on the readout crate power interlock which exists on the 
IST and FGT (and I believe GMT too) readout crates. We will want this to be 
connected to the interlock system at STAR for the actual FST installation. In 
the meanwhile for lab testing you have to cheat it appropriately or the crate 
won't work.
	(Zhenyu, maybe you can say sometime if the crate at Chicago has this interlock? 
We should get it added if not, so it can be a proper spare for FST. It should be 
low cost to add it.)
	See just the last page of the attachment for wiring and function diagram. 
Sincerely,

                Gerard

Hi Ciro, everyone,

Find attached the manual for interlock..  I am sending out the 6 cables today to 
Ken's attention.  Ken will receive an email shortly with all the tracking 
information.

Regarding Interlock, this protocol requires a 5 V supply.  Whereas Inhibit 
requires only a contact closure, (open or short).  I have requested 
clarification regarding the inhibit function and have not received confirming 
information from the factory regarding its use as an alternative to Interlock, 
(they were on a holiday yesterday).

If you prefer a relay contact closure, I do not see why we cannot provide an 
additional choice for Interlock, "type" features by using inhibit.  Upon my 
observation both options seemed to operate the same.

Since you are under a strict deadline I have released the installation doc 
specifying _only _the Interlock upgrade instructions.  If you like, I can also 
provide instructions for inhibit option later.

Please advise any comments

Have a good afternoon
