= What is the Hall C Wiki =
 
  
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki Wiki] is a type of website that allows readers easily edit and add the pages content. Wikis have several advantages over "old-fashined" websites
 
 
* the markup language is much simpler than html
 
* editing is done right from the web browser
 
* all the changes are automatically tracked and stored
 
* wiki software prevents broken links - if a page is moved, all the links pointing to it automatically become redirects to the new location
 
 
The Hall C Wiki is for operational documentation.  The information documented here may often change and the use of this Wiki will allow staff and users to easily keep this information up to date.
 
 
This Wiki is viewable by anyone on-site.  Off-site access is protected in the same manner as the logbook.  To edit the content of the Wiki, you must have an an account and be logged in.
 
 
If you wish to experiment with the Wiki without editing the content, please use the [[Sandbox]].  See MediaWiki's [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting Formatting] page for help on how to format Wiki pages.

Hall C Links

Hall C

Hall C is one of three experimental halls at JLab.

Hall C Computing.

Basic Equipment

Data Acquisition

The Hall C data acquisition digitizes data from the drift chambers, hodoscopes, Cerenkov detectors and lead glass shower counters that are located in the HMS and SOS shield huts. This digitization is done with Lecroy fastbus modules located in 4 crates.

The ~2000 channels of drift chamber signals are discriminated and the times of hits on wires are recorded in fastbus crates located in each of the spectrometer huts. These times are digitized with Lecroy 1877 multihit TDC's with a resolution of 0.5ns.

Notes on the DAQ.
