Trigger System requirements
¥System takes 424 ECL signals from 27 CAEN v895 calorimeterÕs discriminators and process them on v1495 logic units
¥System takes 60-80 (to be decided) ECL signals from 5 CAEN v895 hodoscopeÕs discriminators and process them on v1495 logic units
¥System delivers 1 ECL signal to be used as CLAS Trigger Supervisor ASYNC input: level Ô1Õ means ÔpassÕ, level Ô0Õ means ÔfailÕ
¥Trigger logic is controlled by following parameters: discriminators thresholds, the number of towers per cluster (from 1 to 9), the minimum number of clusters (one or two), overlap area between calorimeter cluster and hodoscope hit. Size of cluster search window is fixed and always 3x3 towers
