In the Left Arm DAQ: 118ns Internal delay from the EDTM MasterTo BigBite EDTM Slave from the backpanel of the EDTM Master: 16ns lemo cable 8ns 754 module delay 5ns lemo cable 260ns RG58 cable #5 8ns lemo cable (PP to back of slave) 170ns Internal delay of EDTM Slave ------ 487ns
Time Difference in EDTM pulses: B-L = 369
Consideration for particle TOF and signal times to that point at which each EDTM pulse is inserted:
e' in Left arm (~1GeV) ---------------------- 87ns TOF 60ns Signal Cable (From PMT) ----- 147ns
p in BigBite (~1GeV) -------------------- 18ns TOF (3.0m, 600MeV) 206ns Signal Cable (From PMT) 10ns Patch Panel to x10 Amp 2ns x10 Amp delay 8ns Lemo cable to discriminator ----- 244ns
Time difference: B-L = 97ns
To simulate this with EDTM... making sure to account for the 2.2ns timestep in the EDTM Slave:
./edtmsetup 369 44
These defaults were hardcoded into the edtmsetup script. Right arm+ND values are also hardcoded (does not take command line arguments).
