DAQ deadtime memo Kaz, Grass 2012/01/04 1
Current dead time Dead time measured on 2011/09/29 With TDCmax=4, Deadtime =350 us With TDCmax=8, Deadtime =690 us With TDCmax=13, Deadtime =1850 us In our plan, the TDCmax=9 Dead time < 800us 1K HZ trigger is fine, however 2 Input by Cosmis trigger~ 3000HzEvent RateTS Busy Dummy (no TDC data)~3000 Hz24.5 us None-ZeroSuppression, BLK mode~40 Hz2.15 ms Zero-Suppression by CRL code, address only mode ~200Hz4.2ms Zero-Suppression by CRL code, BLK mode~325Hz2.5ms Zero-Suppression fixed the Data transfer dead time.

With this plan the Max number of TDC is 9 The dead time will be 1.72 ms. 5 ROC Name TS TDC Freq (Hz) TS Dead (ms) Detector C2 H1 H2 C1 H3 H4 P4 C3 - C3 + BranchB1B2B3 B4 TDC on us Max TDC on Max TDC on MVME 5500 on

Conclusion 320ns time window -Chambers 640ns time window – Proptubes 14 MVME6100 CPUs Software Zero suppression The deadtime is 880 us. For the 6000Hz input cosmic ray test we can get 913 Hz event rate. 8
