  • Check performance of the FADC250 firmware
- significantly better emulation of the fadc algorithm (use cosmic, led pulser data)
- some 'minor' issues may still exist (Sean)
- take data with different fadc settings (NSAT, ...)
  • Check discriminator firmware
  • High rate trigger performance
- install new F1TDC firmware on some modules of the TAGH/TAGM crate
(test performance with the burst of rate)
- check busy distribution from tagger crates
processing version C04 since last week (minor issues, will be updated shortly),
control versions: 81 (TAGM/TAGH), 41 all other crates
most minor issues have been fixed (DAC, trigger energy flow, ...)
- New CTP firmware on tagger crates (106, 307, and A03)
improves trigger timing by about 260 ns (FADC/CTP/SSP communication)
do not update CTP firmware on other crates (may consider in the future, require some efforts)
- New SSP firmware for TAGM/TAGH crates
- New firmware versions for TIs (tip 61), TD (tdp 61)
allows for busy distribution
- New DSC firmware (version 0x10e)
allows to set up bipolar thresholds
installed on all crates except TOF
is being currently tested
updated config files to allow for positive thresholds (negative threshold values in config files)
FADC 125
New firmware (Cody)
No readout issues anymore (so far), some features with settings (reading out) thresholds
(Cody is trying to fix now)
F1 TDC
new version exists (is being tested)
more robust performance at high rate
consider to install on some crates (TAGH) if time permits
CAEN TDC (Beni)


  • Testing tagger trigger "
checking performance using play back
correct trigger bit/channel assignment (VXS back plane was replaced, new CTP firmware version)
minor issues with FADC/CTP/SSP communication (will be fixed)


  • High-rate performance testing
checked busy distributions from fadc 125 and 250 modules
planning to repeat (perform more comprehensive tests) during this week
(firmware was updated)
  • Modifications in initialization libs and config files
- new initialization and config parameters for FADC250
- config files for the play back
- additions/reorganization of config files ( per channel DSC thresholds, etc.; any sub-detector groups requests)
- configurations for stand alone daq
