where T3 and the L1A are timed exactly relative to T2.
- To generate BBtrig (noted in the trigger diagrams of ((GenDocTrigger)) as "L1A(retimed)"), the reference signal for the BigBite arm, a copy of T2 and the L1A are passed into a retiming module. The retiming module is supposed to generate a signal with a fixed-delay to T2, or if T2 is missing (normally the case for a T1 event) generate a signal with a fixed-delay with respect to the L1A. If the T2 came very early, it is possible for its leading edge to become lost such that BBtrig is aligned with the L1A. In this case, the diagram could look like this:

If the T2 came very early, it is possible for its leading edge to become lost such that BBtrig is aligned with the L1A; this can be checked by looking at the time distributions for detectors in BB (eg: -+B.s.time[[B.s.trpad[[0]+-) for this class of events. In this case, the trigger timing diagram could look like this:

- All these effects together result in D.ctimeL1A and D.bit3 distributions that look like in the following plot, where the top is D.ctimeL1A (y-axis) vs. D.bit3 (x-axis), and the two plots on the bottom show the top plot's projections onto the two axes and how the features show up.

Note that to get the correct "first" recorded T3 time from the 1877 TDC, you have to get the last readout value from the TDC so -+D.bit3[[Ndata.D.bit3-1]+- must be used. />
