2. April 2006Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 2 Goal for BTF  Stand alone, local DAQ DAQ Reduced to minimum: Local Start/Stop of Runs (no remote Run Control -> no DAQ framework, no event building) Write data on local Disk Readout particle per particle No interrupts  VME-PCI interface: CAEN V2718 only  Limited number of FEE modules supported TDC V1290 QDC V972  Only 2 Event types: Particle Event Calibration Event

3. April 2006Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 3 Status  Manpower: me and 1 undergraduate student  Software for V2718: 80% done All fundamentals are done: Read and Write in A32/D32,D16 Read in BLT32, BLT64 Basic I/O Register (2 Inputs, 5 Outputs)  Software for V1290: 80% done Only tested with V1190, should be easily transported to V1290 Not fully commissioned yet  Software for V792: 40% done Work in progress  Software for run control: 25% done Working on User interface

4. April 2006Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 4 First results  Readout rate of V1190 27 Mbytes/sec in BLT64 -> 5 ms to read the full V1190 buffer memory (Readout of the tracker would require at least 40 Mbytes/sec… already obtained with BIT3 interface -> we might have to deal with 2 different interface. No impact for BTF)

5. April 2006Jean-Sébastien GraulichSlide 5 To be done  I need some inputs Define needs for calibration Define needs for online monitoring Define needs for other FEE modules  Tests of QDC FEE options will start in background  Organize transport of my PC… When is the test beam ?
