Here is some useful info:

 
The DCT roms are:
 
      Name           IP Address            Xyplex            Description
    ROM040                                                                     Slot-1 Rom
    ROM015        134.79.61.25          odf-dct              Blt/Ptd
    ROM018        134.79.61.28          tt2-17                TsfX
    ROM025        134.79.61.35          tt2-18                TsfY
Blt/Ptd Configuration:
    Loads DAQ latencies for Blt and Ptd.  Loads Ptd lookup  tables.
Tsf Configuration:
    Loads DAQ latencies, checks whether and which Tsf luts to load, sets CSRs for DAQ mode, and Playback/Record Enable and Mode.
 
 Blt/Ptd Feature extraction
    Reads DAQ data from Blt/Ptd modules.
    Checks for damage and prints message if damage changes.
    Prints a message every 10,000 events.
 Tsf Feature extraction
    Reads DAQ data from Tsf modules.
    Checks framing of Tsf with Dch.
    Resets framing of Tsf with Dch if detects out of frame.
    Prints a message every 10,000 events.
 
The control files for the dct reside in:
        $ODF_ROOT/constants/dct


There are two links: csr_tsf and csr_bltptd

    csr_tsf is a soft link to the tsf control file. It has the following format:
        1st Word: Lut version to be used (set to 9904 = 0x26b0)
        2nd Word: Lut load control (set to 1)
        3rd Word: Input Playback Memory load control (0=don't load, 0!= load)
        4th Word: DAQ Latency (0xd for data taking, 0x1e for playback)
        5th Word: DAQ Mode (0=Raw Mode, 2= Best 1, 3= Best 2)
        6th Word: Playback/Record Enable (0x5=record in/out, 0x7=playback in +enable in/out)
        7th Word: Playback/Record Mode (set to 1)

    csr_bltptd is a soft link to the blt/ptd control file. It has the following format:
        1st Word: Blt DAQ Latency (0x7c8 for data taking)
        2nd Word: Ptd DAQ Latency (0x7e3 for data taking)
        3rd Word: Playback/Record Enable

        4th Word: Playback/Record Mode

    The following files are loaded into the rom

        $ODF_ROOT/constants/dct/tsfX/tsfinput/TsfxLut.bin
        $ODF_ROOT/constants/dct/tsfY/tsfinput/TsfyLut.bin
        $ODF_ROOT/constants/dct/blt/blt_input/blt_chanmask
        $ODF_ROOT/constants/dct/ptd/lut/ptd_lut.bin

 

 
 
 
 
 

    The Dct has crate mask 0x800. Take data following the normal run directions. If you want to run  some non-standard code contact Tom Dignan (x4199).
 

Some known problems:

    Tsf goes out of frame with Dch when Synch issued.

    Using just a Dct trigger can cause problems starting up if Tsf and Dch are not in  frame and in Synch. This due to the fact that Snyching and reFraming are detected during L1Accepts and if the systems aren't in frame then they cannot produce trigger objects. A classic Catch-22.

    Ptd/Blt modules seem to be producing damage on many events.
