keyword=S2m Delay for TDCs Lengthened and ADC Channels Swapped
With cosmice data, we found that the S2m Right ADC channels were empty.
This was traced to a problem with the cable plugged into the ADC. I
found that the support for the VDC ribbon cables restricts the ADC
cable's path to the first input in Slot 25. I decided to move the S2m
Right PMT channels from ROC 3, Slot 25 channels 0-15 to channels 48-63.
I have updated the data base to reflect this change on bbsoftw.
We also saw that the TDC signals from S2m were at the extreme left (low
TDC channel). In fact, the right PMT signals were mostly missing. With
Alexandre and Kalyan's help, we checked the TDC signal timing with
respect to the TDC common start. The TDC signal time was found to be
too close to the common start time. We delayed the TDC signal with
additional ribbon cable of about 40 ns delay for both S2m left and right
signals. Now the TDC signals are between TDC channels 850 and 1200.
There are still eight signals that are less than 1000 channels.
We may need to add more delay. The other option is to adjust the
retiming signal, but I didn't want to tangle with the retiming without
consulting Bob first.
