Status of the new firmware

DAQ user 2018/06/18 07:26

Data Transfer

Each new window is tagged with an event packet

CAFEDADE (4 bytes) GTC (3 bytes) 0 ABCID (5 bytes) DADECAFE (4 bytes)

Each channel is read separately if there is data

Header (2 bytes words)
CAFE BABE GTC GTC Channel Lines
and then per line
channel (1 byte) Coarse (4 bytes) fine (1 byte)
Trailer (2 bytes word)
BABECAFE

Remaining bugs : From time to time (<1/min),an empty event header is sent with same GTC number , good ABCID and no channels, the event synchr is recovered on next event header. Since the DAQ is synchronised on GTC, no inefficiencies is seen. It might come from MDCC firmware

Data Structure

The data forwarded to the Event builder are grouped per event. It has similar structure to the previous one.
