FCAl DAQ Plan

Triggers

• 1. Base pulser – electronics chain
• 2. Simple LED pulser – pmts whole
• 3. Cosmics – look for physics, self-trigger
• 4. Complete LED Monitoring System

Hardware Requirements:

• 1. NIM Bin (From ESB?)
• 2. Pulser (have)
• 3. NIM logic module
• 4. Discriminator
• 5. 12 CTPs
• 6. 2 SSPs

Tasks:

• 1. DAQ (trigger) configuration, CODA
  • Done 12/5 - Alex
• 2. Readout pedestals, Generate analyzer to generate ROOT tree
  • Alex, Sergey
• 3. Define working pedestals (JANA based), write scripts, produce list of pedestals
  • Manuel, provided raw data and analyzer from Alex
• 4. Confirm electronics chain from ROOT files
  • Pulse bases - IU
• 5. Confirm PMTs alive from ROOT files
  • Simple LED setup - IU
• 6. Look for Cosmics from ROOT files
  • Self-trigger - IU
• 7. Implement full LED pulsing system
