Slink Progress

Slink Progress. Current Progress. Latest FED throttle signals tested with APVE Sent triggers ~10 times the rate at which events were read out 1,000,000 triggers sent, throttle status behaved as expected, events received without problems (Repetitive and Random triggers tested)

  1. Slink Progress James Leaver

  2. Current Progress • Latest FED throttle signals tested with APVE • Sent triggers ~10 times the rate at which events were read out • 1,000,000 triggers sent, throttle status behaved as expected, events received without problems (Repetitive and Random triggers tested) • Now using a FED Tester to drive FED with optical signals… But: • FT cannot accept FED throttle signals yet (waiting for a new FT daughter board to be finished) • FT currently not compatible with APVE, so APVE temporarily removed from system (relatively straight-forward APVE firmware fix, when Greg returns) • Currently only driving 1 FED FE Unit • Have successfully calibrated FT outputs to FED inputs James Leaver

  3. Optical Tests • FED in Virgin Raw mode: • 10 kHz Repetitive triggers • Blank frames (with Gaussian noise) • Driving 1 FE Unit • Sent 1,000,000 triggers: • 1,000,000 events received via Slink • All events were of the correct size • No FED lockups • 791 words per event  ~60 Mbytes/sec. • Cannot look at received frames yet… James Leaver

  4. Optical Tests • FED in Zero Suppressed mode: • 100 kHz Repetitive triggers • Blank frames (with Gaussian noise) • Driving 1 FE Unit • Sent 10,000,000 triggers: • 10,000,000 events received via Slink • All events had the same size (blank frames) • No FED lockups • 29 words per event  ~21 Mbytes/sec • Cannot look at received frames yet – but blank frames not a very good test, anyway… James Leaver

  5. In progress • Currently trying to write software to analyse frames sent via Slink when optical inputs used • Need to run longer tests, and with Random triggers, to check FED stability (when throttle is enabled on FT) • Need to use more realistic frame data to test Zero Suppressed mode • Need to design new Slink transition card, with FED throttle output James Leaver
