Configuration for the new DCT

All directories are in the corresponding platform user directory The maps are under the teststand_map directory while the configuration is under the June2003 directory. For the maps, the map file is chosen according to the ROM id (you can determine the ROM Id by looking to the value of module when you boot the ROM).

ROM module in hex map file
0x0 oldTsfxMap.txt
0x1 oldTsfyMap.txt
0x4 oldTsfxyMap.txt
0x10 newTsfxMap.txt
0x11 newTsfyMap.txt
0x13 bltZpdMap.txt
0x14 newTsfxyMap.txt
Each of this map files contains lines of 3 columns which are in order {slot number}{module type}{DCH sector} The module type is either 0 or 1. For a TSF map, 0 means X and 1 Y. For a Blt/Zpd map, 0 means BLT and 1 ZPD.

The Configuration :

text files

file name parameters
productionTrigger.txt contains one int to decide who is the production trigger 0=OLD, 1=NEW
mapAutoDetectConflictResolution.txt One parameters managing confilct resolution between autodetect and map. The value of this parameter can be:
0 generate FEX_ERROR in case of conflict
1 the link is set to the intersection of the map request and the auto detection for each kind of board
2 the auto detection is ignored. Map request is used.
3 map is ignored. Auto detection is used. For OLD TSF, board not in the map are assumed to be X type. All board who were not in the map are assigned to sector 0.
IMPORTANT : For the PRODUCTION TRIGGER in IR2, the software will consider this parameter to be equal to 0 independently of the value written in the file.
tsfConfig.txt 2 parameters :
  • DAQ offset
  • DAQ data format
zpdConfig.txt 6 parameters
  • daqMode
  • NTick
  • DAQOffset for input
  • DAQOffset for DM
  • ship data every n events
  • print error message every n events

XTC files

file name What's in it
tsfLutTC.xtc guess what
zpdiMask.xtc A L1DZpdAllLutTC containing the zpdi mask
zpdAllLut.xtc A L1DZpdAllLutTC containing ZPD LUTs

To create ZPD LUT XTC files, please refer here and to the README file in the L1DctOnline package.
