Overview: Front End System
ldigitizing
electronics (VME pipeline TDCs and scalers, FASTBUS ADCs and multihit TDCs) will be upgraded; VME electronics will
stay; FASTBUS ADCs will be replaced by FADCs
at least partially; FASTBUS multihit TDCs will stay but replacement solution will be provided in case of
aging problems
lfront-end readout (28 crates with PowerPC-based Motorola VME multi-CPU controllers) will be reused; some hardware upgrades and software improvements are required; the number of crates will be increased up to about 40
