Conventions followed in the Firmware
All physical entities are numbered from 1(not from 0), though in software, all counts start from 0.
chc: Compton Hall C s1: slave 1 v1495 s2: slave 2 v1495 s3: slave 3 v1495
The diamond based electron detector setup uses 4 planes of the detector. The detector plane on the upstream side is termed 'plane 1' and the plane counts up, with the last plane termed plane 4.
Each detector has a total of 96 strips, which are being processed in groups of 32 strips each, termed as the top, middle and bottom groups of 32 strips go to s1, s2 and s3 respectively.
Among the strips of the detector, the strip which is closest to the main beam is termed 'strip 1' and is counted upwards.
In the electron detector Flags file, for setting the appropriate mask values, you would need to know:
p1t : plane 1, top 32 strips (going to A-port, slave 1) p1m : plane 1, middle 32 strips (going to A-port, slave 2) p1b : plane 1, bottom 32 strips (going to A-port, slave 3) p2t : plane 2, top 32 strips (going to B-port, slave 1) p2m : plane 2, middle 32 strips (going to B-port, slave 2) p2b : plane 2, bottom 32 strips (going to B-port, slave 3) p3t : plane 3, top 32 strips (going to D-port, slave 1) p3m : plane 3, middle 32 strips (going to D-port, slave 2) p3b : plane 3, bottom 32 strips (going to D-port, slave 3) p4t : plane 4, top 32 strips (going to E-port, slave 1) p4m : plane 4, middle 32 strips (going to E-port, slave 2) p4b : plane 4, bottom 32 strips (going to E-port, slave 3)
a value of '1' enables the strip, '0' disables it. The mask values are set in groups of 32, it can be entered in either hex or integer value (but not binary) example:
If strip 1 is to be masked off on plane 1, strip 24 is to be masked off on plane 2 strip 47 is to be masked off on plane 3 all strips on plane 4 to be left active leaving all other strips active on all planes; then we have to put:
p1b = 0xfffffffe, p1m = 0xffffffff, p1t = 0xffffffff p2b = 0xfff7ffff, p2m = 0xffffffff, p2t = 0xffffffff p3b = 0xffffffff, p3m = 0xffffbfff, p3t = 0xffffffff
cluster: a group of 8 strips being ORed together to get a trigger decision.
The following short-hands have been used very often in parameters/variable names that a User may deal with.
