ArgonneBeamTest_ ppt4 Module list SLAC can provide 1) Very old PMT HV supply (0-3000V): 1 unit 2) Hand-made 8ch distributor for the HV supply (item 1 above) No voltage adjustment possible. 3) Desktop power supply (Vmax=30V, Imax=500mA): 1 unit 4) Desktop power supply (Vmax=20V, Imax=2A): 1 unit 5) Charge preamplifier (16ch) by Clear Pulse in Japan: 1 unit Requires +12V and -12V. Integration time 56us 6) Shaping amplifier (16ch) by Clear Pulse (?): 1 unit Shaping time 2us. 2 outputs per channel 7) Fast discriminator by Philips Scientific (looks almost like the one by LRS): 2 units. Each takes 5 inputs. 8) Gate generator (2ch) by LRS222: 1 unit. One channel has some problem. 9) NIM/TTL level converter (16ch): 1 unit 10) Fast coincidence (3ch) made by SLAC: 1 unit. 4 inputs per channel. 11) Very very old visual scaler: 2 units. 12) NIM Crate: 1 unit 13) Oscilloscope Tektronix 2443: 1 unit 14) PMT borrowed from Princeton: 8 units (takes negative HV) 15) Fast hexagonal scintillator: 8 units 16) PCI-based DAQ by ADLink: Digital I/O card (PCI-7200): 1 unit 17) PCI-based DAQ by ADLink: ADC card (PCI-9810): 1 unit. 4ch 10bits 18) PCI-based DAQ by ADLink: ADC card (PCI-9812): 1 unit. 4ch 12bits 19) Desktop PC for PCI-based on-line DAQ with LabView 20) Princeton current amplifier (4ch): 1 unit. 1)-19) have been used in Spring 8 test. We plan to modify the DAQ system at Spring-8 and use it for Argonne Beam Test. We will show the DAQ diagram in near future

ArgonneBeamTest_ ppt5 DAQ system (proposal) Install sensors and analog modules in beam area, and others in monitor room (if possible). We want to borrow following modules; Visual scaler (all we have are two, very old, single-channel visual scalers) Clock generator (to measure the integration time) Compact HV supply (if possible) Pulse Generator (this is not crucial, but helps us test the DAQ in laboratory and at Argonne)

ArgonneBeamTest_ ppt6 DAQ System(2) Sampling rate and the # of data points per card. They are user adjustable but some other combinations of parameters make the DAQ unstable display waveforms # of data points per channel after the trigger. This is user adjustable # of data points per channel that will be displayed and recorded to a file, user adjustable data file names (waveform data and peak data) Trigger conditions, user adjustable For every 10 events (this # is user adjustable), DAQ records events to a disk and displays waveforms of the last event in the “packet”. # of acquired packets

ArgonneBeamTest_ ppt7 DAQ system(3) Data acquisition speed is ~600Hz (depends on the packet size chosen by user). DAQ records two files, one is to save the peak voltages (text file) and the other all waveform data (binary file, 50 points per channel=400points per event). The peak data file size is ~50byte/event and waveform data file ~1600byte/event (1.6Gbyte for 1M events!). Do we need to record waveforms? Peak data file looks like below. (I fed pulse only in channel 1)
