March 12, 2008 online meeting minutes
present: Sergey Boyarinov, Ben Raydo, Sergey Pozdnyakov, Raffaella Devita, Valeri Kubarovski
1. G12 trigger
- do not destroy existing trigger
- new VME crate on top of trigger rack, all OR modules there, VME repeater
- about 50 scalers, 2 reads by 16bit, every 10 seconds (latch is coping to output regs
- no event-by-event read, or need input pattern fifo ? or at least single sector pattern .. will discuss
- control: gui on clonwin2, vxworks server; gui will save to file to be used during run
- Ben's setup will stay
- ECL output cards to be here soon
- install CC and GUI on clonwin2
- testing: self-test in Ben's office; cosmic etc tests to be planned
- make sure level2 works with new electronics; single sector outputs from FPGA ? use L2 latch ? (it will be served as sector-based pattern as well ..)
- pulser events and level2 ??????? want l2pass in that case ...
- 2 test cables for Ben (68-68)
- add EC to trigger ? extra 2 inputs per sector (inner and total from one discriminator, outer never used); will discuss again after L2 situation decided,
may do not need 1-6 outputs as sector-based
- install everything in the hall, start installation today; Valery and Raffaella will think about test plan using cosmic/pulser
2. G12 run: EPICS information in data stream, Raffaella will check it
some fixes in DAQ (Sergey)
EPICS expert ???
3. INFN will by TPC electronics
