G0-DAQ development page

This page contains some relevant information for the development of the G0 data acquisition system.

See the G0 DAQ web page for other important links.


2-Dec-2000:
Here are some figures from Brian Quinn describing aspects of the North American Electronics.

16-Nov-2000:
Here is some documentation for the TRIUMF voltage-frequency converters that will be used with the beam line monitors, provided by Des Ramsay.

3-Oct-2000:
Here is an updated version of the French Mock Data routines from Jean Sebastien Real.

15-Sep-2000:
Here is a tarred gzipped file of some rudimentary display files, written by Lance Clevenger, to get us started thinking about what kinds of this one wants to look at on line. You will need to have ROOT installed, and some environment variables may need changing.

18-Jul-2000:
Here is a tarred gzipped file of a sample readout list for Beam monitors: 3 BCMs and 4 BPMs, written by Raphael Tieulent. The CODA header information has not yet been added. See the email message from Raphael describing what's in the files, as well as a picture showing the signals from the BPMs.

7-Jul-2000:
Here is a tarred gzipped file of C code to generate a coda file of Orsay readout, put together by Jianglai Liu. Please see the updated distribution from Jean-Sebastian Real. The data file that is generated is called sample_data_fr_coda_5.log. See the README file with notes at the bottom by Jianglai on the French readout. There is an equivalent file for the NA electronics. They not yet been put together into one file.

20-June-2000:
Here is a figure of the triggers that are presently set up for the test electronics, in postscript and xfig format.

31-May-2000:
We now have a (Linux) DAQ machine at JLAB for tests. It's called "gzero" and the account is "gzero". The data acquisition directory is "daqtest". Contact either Steve Wood or Betsy Beise by phone for the password to the account.

25-May-2000:
Here is an email from Xavier Grave with the final readout format for the Orsay electronics.

5-May-2000:
Here is a postscript file of a schematic view of the DAQ setup for G0.

27-April-2000:
See Steve Wood's G0 web page to get a set of routines that take the munged N.A. scaler list and add CODA headers to the data.

19-Apr-2000:
See Wolfgang Korsch's G0 analysis web page to get the most recent draft of the analysis code that reads and analyzes the munged TOF N.A. scaler data.

20-Mar-2000:
Here is a tarred, gzipped file that generates the TOF histograms, and builds the data stream for both the French and N.A. electronics. It is till the PRELIMINARY data stream for the Orsay electronics.

24-Feb-2000:
Here is a tarred, gzipped file that generates the TOF histograms, and then generates a ("properly munged") N.A. scaler list.

17-Feb-2000:
Here is a tarred, gzipped file that generates a test set of TOF histograms. There is no physics in this file, just two Gaussian peaks and a flat background.

28-Oct-1999:
Here is an email from Brian Quinn that describes the format of a North American Scaler event.
Here is an email from Christophe Furget that describes the format of an Orsay event.  This file is PRELIMINARY ONLY, as it was generated before the Orsay/Grenoble electronics decision.


Here you can get access to a gzipped ps file of the CODA 1.4 manual. Although we are using CODA 2.2, it's the only manual I could find on the JLAB data acquisition group's CODA web page .
