Minutes
In attendance: Elliott W, Carl T, David L, Dave A, Vardan G, Simon T, Elke A, Elton S, Mark I, Chris C, Fernando B, Mark T, Tanest C, Bill G, Jeff W, Armenak S, Ben R.
Chris started out with a presentation on the Electronics group:
- Mission is to design/develop/support fast electronics for the entire lab.
- History goes back to the early days of the lab.
- Group has grown over the years and now has 9 people, including engineers and technicians.
- Will need to work more closely with DAQ group for the upgrade.
- Capabilities include circuit simulation, CAD, modeling, FPGA development, prototyping, assembly, testing, repair, consultation, thermal imaging, field support, etc.
- Since no more electronics pool, role here is to perform "triage" concerning whether something is broken, needs fix in-house, must be send out, etc.
- Only minor repairs done in-house, most items sent out for repair.
- Have built and deployed hundreds of a type of module, and many module types.
- Recent work: FADC, energy sum modules, VXS crate sum modules, etc. Working towards full crate sum in VXS.
- Ed J. (DAQ group) and Ben R. are working on energy sum modules.
- VXS not particularly popular now, but future looks solid.
- In collaboration with DAQ group:
- testing multi-crate energy sum.
- trigger supervisor (TS) and trigger interface (TI) modules.
- clock/timing/sync system.
- L1 trigger processor.
- on-board diagnostics for above boards.
- other custom module design and development
- Will test large systems with CODA, but will use stand-alone stations for single-board testing.
- Will help halls develop their own single-board testing systems.
