Ervin DÉNES Collab Meeting, 23 – Bunch Counter 1100Event CounterFLAGS 1110Chip ID Channel data (128 bits) CRC 16 bits checksum Data at VFAT output (OptoRX input)

Ervin DÉNES Collab Meeting, 23 – bits VFAT chip ID is not unique! For identifying VFAT chip we has to find out the VFAT data comes from: –position number of VFAT for the given GOH –position number of GOH for the given OptoRx –position number of OptoRx for the given FED –FED board ID What info is needed?

Ervin DÉNES Collab Meeting, 23 – Using CAEN controller read the 6 x 192 VME (32 bits) words Re-map the data Add header containing –position number of VFAT for the given GOH –position number of GOH for the given OptoRx –position number of OptoRx for the given FED –FED board ID To be discussed –header for each OptoRx and/or each GOH? What to do with VME data?
