3. DOM MB Production Test Software TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • DOM MB resident diagnostics • Design and implementation of Simple Test Framework (STF) production test system • Initial production “power on” and burn in tests (via RS232 interface) • Long term cold room tests and post deployment tests (via twisted pair interface) • Documentation to be included into DOM Test Plan. DAQ Software

4. DOM MB Application TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Primary data taking application. • Existing String 18 application simplified and ported as base design (tests moved to STF). • DOMapp base design running in simulation environment. • Single threaded version initial implementation for TestDAQ. • Integration with new DOM MB OS in progress. DAQ Software

5. TestDAQ DOM MB Application Goals TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Allow real DOM MB data acquisition. • Control all low level DOM MB components • Readout ATWD and FADC data in realistic trigger configurations. • Time calibration implemented in firmware. • Integrate with real DOM Hub software. DAQ Software

6. Data Acquisition TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Control of low level DOM MB components. • ADC and DAQ read/write messages operational. • PMT HV base software operational. • Basic flasher board operations yet to be defined and integrated into DOMapp. • Configure ATWD inputs. • Configure and control on board pulser. DAQ Software

7. Data Acquisition TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Readout of ATWD and FADC. • Current DOMapp based on test FPGA design. • All behaviors based on test FPGA design. • Limited triggering and readout behavior with test FPGA-single event buffer. DAQ Software

8. Data Acquisition TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Data Compression/Feature extraction. • Framework present for integration of data compression algorithm. • Firmware/software algorithm design critical issue for TestDAQ/DAQ performance. • Algorithm control yet to be determined…impacts on DOM Hub. DAQ Software

9. Integration with DOM Hub TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • DOM Hub messaging. • Message formats for most low level interfaces defined (exceptions: flasher board, trigger modes..). • Need to determine DOM operating modes to fix next round of messages. • At this point, DOMapp development and deployment into TestDAQ closely linked with real FPGA design development. DAQ Software

10. DOMapp Summary TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Base design implementation working within TestDAQ. • Integrated with fast communications-some issues remain (packet size != max. message length, firmware issues on DOM and DOR end). • Critical features needed soon-primarily monitoring. DAQ Software

11. DOMapp Summary (cont.) TestDAQ Review July 24 2003 LBNL Click to edit Master text styles Second level Third level Fourth level Fifth level • Detailed operating mode planning needed-based strongly on TestDAQ experience. • Real FPGA and data compression details critical to DOMapp (and higher level) implementation.
