Agenda

  • Control signal inputs: integrate gate or "start of integration"?
  • Possible readout ideas
    • Each unit as stand-alone ROC similar to integrating ADCs
    • Units are read by a computer with TI-pcie running a PC-ROC
    • Units communicate with a VXS module (such as SSP) in a VXS-ROC
  • Data structure; what is reported?
    • Integrating ADCs plan to have: sum over window, sum of squares (to calculate RMS within window), minimum sample value, maximum sample value; full window and four sub-blocks. Integrating ADCs would also have a waveform mode.
  • General discussion
  • LBL BCM data structure
