Integration Plans

DAQ -1 and Level 2

Plans are well advanced to integrate level 2 into DAQ/EF -1 at both hardware and software level by summer 2001.

Level 1

We are invited to draw up our own plans for integration.... From the adhoc report:

Phase 1

1. The LVL1 calo ROD and muon ROD (MIROD) must be integrated
   with the LVL2 Region-of-Interest Builder. This integration
   will be performed first in standalone tests in late 2000
   or early 2001.

2. At least one LVL1 ROD should be integrated with a ROB in
   standalone tests. This integration will be performed first
   in standalone tests in late 2000 or early 2001.

Phase 2

1. Vertical slices of LVL1 calo and LVL1 muon trigger systems,
   including front-end electronics, should be integrated. This
   is an internal LVL1 integration that will occur during 2001.

2. Integration of one or more LVL1 RODs, and of ROD_BUSY and
   TTC modules, in the HLT/DAQ integrated prototype.

3. Integration of at least one vertical slice of LVL1 into
   the complete integrated prototype system, initially in the
   lab and then at a test beam using real detector signals.
   This integration should be performed in early 2002.
