Delay Wire Chambers

Introduction

Standalone TDC read-out functionality for testing is available in sandbox/CAEN_v1290_Standalone.

A simple DWC producer for the upcoming July test beam has been implemented in producers/cmshgcal_dwc that copes with the readout of one CAEN_V1290N TDC (16-channels) and interprets the signals as timestamps from up to four delay wire chambers.

Installation of EUDAQ on pcminn03:

cd build;
cmake3 -DBUILD_cmshgcal_dwc=ON ..
make -j4 install

How to run:

Need access to the computer (pcminn03) with keyboard, mouse and screen. Execution via ssh-connection requires the xserver packages to be installed which are not installed on pcminn03 so far.

./STARTRUN cmshgcal_dwc

Configuration:

Choose the file in producers/cmshgcal_dwc/conf/hgcaldwc.conf. It contains all relevant CAENV1290 TDC settings. By default, all 16 TDC channels are enabled for read-out.
