Title:Using the CSM-0 TDC emulator board
Summary:Use of a simple PC board to send fixed TDC patterns
Description:A small PC with LVDS drivers, receivers, and an FPGA is available to test software used with the CSM-0 cards. 4 PROMS accompany the board to generate 4 different fixed patterns. Use of this board and the MiniDaq software for readout of these fixed patterns is presented

Abstract:
  • The FPGA accepts encoded triggers from the serial commands in the standard TDC format and generates output that emulates the ATLAS Muon TDC serial data stream.
  • The following list explains the pattern of TDC words generated by each PROM: 1.
  • PROM#1 sends out 99 data words serially, using TDC ID code 0011 for each trigger it receives from the CSM0 board.
  • 2.
  • PROM#2 continuously sends data words, beginning with the TDC ID code 0011 as soon as it receives the first trigger from CSM0 board.
  • Useful hint: The CSM, while passing data words, checks the TDC ID and does not accept a data word beginning with ID = “F” (the 5th one), and will discard it. 2 data words beginning with TDC ID = 0011 for ...
