1. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status  Progress  DAQ  Next steps  Summary

2. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status Progress since CM18 DATE readout code completed for the following modules –VME-PCI interface (CAEN V2718) –IO Register (trigger receiver) (CAEN V977) –TDC (CAEN V1290) –Scaler (CAEN V830) DAQ test bench completed in Geneva (milestone for Feb. 2007) and RAL –2PCs (LDCs + GDC, LDC) –2 Independent VME crates –Private network DAQ installation in RAL –2 VME crates –2 PCs –1 Router

3. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status Progress since CM18 DAQ Workshop in RAL –DAQ System requirements –Data unpacking discussed –DATE Tutorial Installation and configuration Implementation of readout code Shaper production in progress in Sofia –First commissioning done in Sofia –Full test started in Geneva Splitter production finished in Geneva New hardware –Spare VME Interface and VME Power Supply –Second Event builder PC –3 LDC PCs

4. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status Shaper Third version of the shaper –DC Gain for the most of the channels is 2.9 –Added jumpers to select the desired gain (per channel) - total gain can be raised to 14.4 –Jumper selection between single-ended or differential input –Mechanical support for the splitter –Different channels have different gain and different shapping constants Final production ready to start in Sofia, waiting for precise tests

5. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status Splitter Production completed in Geneva –4 Layers PCB design –Added shielding

6. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status General Purpose VME Logic Board Started working on CAEN V1495 –Implement trigger logic in VHDL

7. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status Next Steps DAQ data unpacking Readout code for the fADC module Precise tests of the shaper Implementing trigger logic in VHDL Preparation for the cosmic test in November 2007 Preparing for the DAQ review in January 2008

8. CM19 Vassil Verguilov DAQ Status Summary DAQ is installed and tested in RAL DAQ test bench is completed DATE readout code is almost completed Splitter production completed Shaper is ready for production, awaiting precise testing
