Pulsar Hardware Status March, 14th 2003 Burkard Reisert (FNAL)
Two New Pulsar Boards (from Prototype Batch) • Visual Inspection: • missing, wrong, misplaced • components • (mostly termination resistors) • - fixed • - BOM and assembly plan • corrected • Both boards configured as • Hotlink RX Board • for tests of • Hotlink Fiber RX mezz. cards • Successful Testing

Production of HOTLINK Fiber Receiver (Rx) Cards Fruit full UC & Fermilab Cooperation 03/03 components collected at UC 03/05 first item from PPD-EED 03/06 test of first item completed go for production 03/07-03/11 production completed within 3 working days Thanks to Bob Demaat, Bob Jones and Paula, who did a great job 03/12-03/13 tests of Hotlink Mezz. Rx cards Careful preparation pays off only one card failed first test Plug & Play (well almost, metric screws needed) The Hotlink Receiver Arsenal: 12 New Rx Mezz. Cards +4 Prototypes + spare parts for 2 more complete cards
Production of HOTLINK Fiber Transmitter (Tx) Cards Continue the fruit full UC & Fermilab Cooperation 03/04 components collected at UC 03/14 first item being produced by PPD-EED test first item as soon as it is available go for production after careful testing Production and Testing completed feasible by Friday next week
New Prototypes 1 AUX CARD 2 TAXI Receiver All at FNAL adjustment of firmware for testing 2 TAXI Transmitter
Sakariis back since Monday, this makes a difference Development of Core firmware : DataIO FPGA (Rx case) VME responses DAQ buffers SRAM interface CDF Ctrl interface Mezzanine Card interface down stream up stream Filter algorithm SLINK formatter Play/record Play/record RAM/ Spy buffers RAM/ Spy buffers direct monitoring input data and control lines will ease testing of Hotlink and Taxi mezz. cards Focus of Development of the week 1st Version exist being developed
E1: near term goals from last meeting • (1) Feb:have the automated testing procedure fully working for 16 • hotlink channels (muon path): Tx->Rx->PC; • (2) March:finish testing 2 more Pulsar boards with hotlink/Taxi mezzanine • cards and AUX cards; • (3) April: initial proof of principle test with S32PCI64 with test setup • (4) May: core firmware (Tx/Rx) fully developed and tested with • hotlink/taxi mezzanine cards; • (5) June: production/testing for Pulsar/hotlink/taxi/AUX cards • (6) July: have Tx->Rx-PC fully developed for Reces(taxi), • cluster/Isolation (hotlink/taxi); • (7) Aug: document everything above: cdf note DONE DONE Rx DONE
Goals for the coming months • March: • finish Hotlink Tx production/testing • finish testing Taxi and AUX card prototypes • improving Pulsar core firmware • April: • continue improving firmware • preparing Taxi/AUX card production • if possible, initial test with • Pulsar TxRxS32PCI64CPU
