¥All high-resolution TDCs in
CLAS are pipeline multihit boards
¥CLAS front-end busy is fixed
12us (defined by Lecroy 1881 ADCs) which makes it possible to increase event rate up to
10kHz at dead time below 15%
¥In general we were satisfied
with service provided by commercial companies: WIENER service (VME64X crates) was very good; CEAN service was good but several
iterations of sample boards and firmwire upgrades were needed to get required parameters; following support from both companies
was very good
¥Better coordination is
required in future to keep our schedule in sync with other Hall B and JLAB groups
