  20. What is specific for ICAL DAQ? • Large number of data channels to handle; large scale integration needed • But, fewer and simpler parameters to record • Low rates; high degree of multiplexing possible • Monolithic detector; unlike the case accelerator based detectors B.Satyanarayana KEK, Japan November 27, 2007

  21. Recordable parameters (Detector) • Event data • Strip hit information (Boolean, 1 bit per strip) • Strip signal timing with reference to event trigger • Strips ORed to reduce timing channels • Monitor data • Strip single/noise counting rate • Chamber voltage and current B.Satyanarayana KEK, Japan November 27, 2007
