keyword=Time structure of helicity signals
The time structure of the helicity signals has changed with respect to
June 2007 and earlier times. There are 3 signals:
- Helicity signal in 33 ms long windows
- MPS: a signal 250 μs long, at the beginning of each helicity window
- QRT: a 33 ms signal overlapping with the first-in-the-train
helicity window. The train is normally a quadruplet of 33 ms windows
It turns out that the MPS is now comes 25 μs earlier than the helicity
flips. Before, they used to come synchronously. The QRT is synchronous
with the MPS.
This happens to affect the Moller DAQ, since the helicity status is read
out at the MPS front time. Before, it read out the NEXT window helicity
with respect to the scaler information. Now, it is the same window
helicity. The software can be adjusted to this change.
The present scheme might be more consistent than the old one.
