NUSTAR-DAQ scope

(a) “NUSTAR” DAQ systems: • couple different standalone “NUSTAR” DAQ simply.• foreseeing the necessary interconnects for triggers and control signals • modularity of the system (local triggers / event buffer capabilities )

(i) the systems are synchronized with common trigger(ii) standalone DAQ systems synchronized via timestamps

(b) Front-end electronics (FEE): • For the common NUSTAR DAQ system, specific frontend electronics

together with its digitization part is seen as part of the detector. • Only the control, trigger and data flow will be specified as interface

description by the common NUSTAR DAQ system.(c) Inhomogeneous DAQ systems: • flexibility of the host (here the NUSTAR) DAQ system is mandatory • integration efforts.

Slide by H. Simon, GSI

RISING “why integration is needed”

Solution with new Time Stamp ModuleTITRIS (developer J. Hoffmann, GSI)

All 3 sub-systems ( GE/VXI, FRS/CATE, HECTOR ) : - run as independent DAQ systems- are triggered independently- produce their own local dead time- provide time stamp for synchronization in all events

Major Requirements of Time Stamp Module:- precision at least 100 ns- bin size 100 ns- 48 bit counter - provide synchronization over distances of at least 50 m between 3 TITRIS modules- VME module providing special daisy chained block transfer for the standard VXI readout

All sub-systems inside the dashed boxes are able to runas independent MBS systems.

What should a common DAQ provide ?

• DAQ system: Generalized readout scheme for triggered and ‚triggerless‘ systems, FEE ‚templates‘

• Framework Interoperability between experiments

• Event format Common Analysis Clients

• Taping/Mass Storage


??

FEE, FEC requirements …

• Synchronisation of standalone DAQ systems along the beam line

• Time distribution system (TDS)

• Firmware upload scheme• Slow control• Feedback loops

• Monitoring ! (Increasing complexity, no connectors, …) ??

AGAVA AGATA ANCILLARY VME

ADAPTERDeveloped by the AGATA ancillary detector working group (Cracow, Padova, LNL, Daresbury, CEA Saclay, JYFL,...)

– Interface between the ancillary detector electronics/acquisition and the AGATA GTS

– Interaction with the AGATA trigger (GTS) •keep relevant events•reduces the AGATA / ancillary data flow– Provides the GTS event number and clock

AGAVA can be used to connect AGATA to HISPEC!
