Overview
Topics which are relevant to the DAQ/Trigger for the Spring 2018 commissioning run are discussed here.
To-Do
- High Priority
- Configure Dave G. Dead time measurement scheme (Arrington’s and/or Morhings thesis)
- Check HMS & SHMS hodoscope discriminator widths (40 ns, -30 mV)
- Configure NGC into SHMS PID trigger leg in place of HGC
- Sanity check SHMS hodoscope CAMAC power supply (noticed unstable behavior during end of fall run)
- Add SHMS PRSHWRSUM in trigger apparatus (FADC leaf)
- Remove layer B from HMS pre-shower sum
- Medium Priority
- Figure out DAC to mV conversion factor, find old talk regarding setting the DAC values to obtain pedestals a pre-determined value
- Include multi-hit capability in the trigger apparatus for reference times
- Integrate TI scalers into report files
- Configure OR of hodoscope trigger logic into TDC’s and scalers
- Change trigger leaf names to PRLO from PRSHWRLO etc. (needs to match xscaler)
- Low Priority
- Add number of FADC error flags to the report files (front and center)
- Add number of pulses identified in the window to data tree
DAQ/Trigger Run Plans
Single Arm & Coincidence Dead Time Studies
Run Conditions

- 10 uA, ~3.0 kHz, ps = 0, ~10 min (1.8 M events)
- 20 uA, ~6.0 kHz, ps = 0, ~10 min (3.6 M events)
- 40 uA, ~12.0 kHz, ps = 0, ~10 min (7.2 M events)

SHMS & HMS Mode 10 Runs
Run Conditions
- At 1.5 kHz these runs should take ~1 min
- These runs can be performed parasitically
Run Plans

Single Arm and Coincidence EDTM Studies
Run Conditions
