Prototype Tests

Early Prototype Tests

• Single CPU system running all DAQ processes
• Want to read out RODs and other modules
• Typical operation mode: feed in known inputs, compare with expected outputs, generate ``trigger'' on mismatch
• (Hopefully!) low or no data acquisition rate
• Would like to start developments in a framework which would evolve to the final DAQ system
• Or at least based on common design

Prototype L1 Calo Slice

• Multiple crates controlled by separate CPUs
• Need to read synchronised events from multiple ROD/processor crates
• Prototype modules (ROD, DSS) will have facilities to store selected events for subsequent readout
• Aim to have prototype of final software
• Prototype calibration and setup procedures
• Complete slice of Level 1 Calo Trigger
• Complete slice tests with ROIbuilder, Level 2, CTP, DAQ
