ZPD Configuration at IR2

This webpage tracks the ZPD firmware versions at IR2. It is kept up-to-date "by hand", so errors could occur. We will attempt to maintain it during the DCZ commissioning until it is replaced by the conditions database.

Summary
13 16 5 7 e >20 Aug 04 --- Adding nhits in the daq data, no changes in the performance is expected
12 16 5 7 d >15 Jul 04 --- Implementing easily selectable options in VHDL for double/single buffering but no changes in the performance is expected
11 15 5 7 c >03 Jun 04 --- Double buffering for daq buffers prepared but not actually in action
10 14 5 7 b >21 May 04 --- Fitter cleanup; don't output hitmap of failed fits.
Fixed DM output diagnostic memory record.
Added DM maxMissSeg LUT and cut
