Hardware Agenda

  1. Announcement
  2. FDC Update [1], [2]
  3. CDC Update
  4. Data Formats

Minutes

Present: Curtis, Naomi, Simon, David, Elton, Lubomir, Cody

  1. FDC Update
  2. CDC Update
    1. The cooling rings are complete, Amy & Gary hooked up a 6-way manifold and verified that a gentle breeze comes from the all holes including those furthest from the inlet on the biggest ring. Gary is going to order a 9-way manifold. We needs to talk to Elliott about a flowmeter/control unit.
    2. Beni's VXS crate arrived. I got the old flash working in it but not the new one, it doesn't recognise the new flash yet. This is using Bryan's new library. Cody came to the conclusion that the firmware needs to be reloaded so that will be next.
  3. Data formats
    1. Following email discussion, the starting point for the meeting was the format options d and e in David's slides.
    2. We would like to have different data types (readout data formats) available, at least two, one being the run mode with the minimum information needed for event readout, and another being a raw mode which would contain the run mode info as well as raw sample data which would include pedestal. This would be very useful for any improvements to the FPGA algorithms.
    3. We would like to do dedicated calibration runs every so often, using the raw mode readout.
    4. The FPGA code version number should be included, probably in the block header.
    5. The CDC and FDC need not use the exact same data format.
    6. Naomi will send a spec to David for the CDC.
