TOFr Calibration procedure • Choose sample by limiting dE/dx and momentum range (or pre-calibrated TOF) • T0 correction, different cable length and signal transition time • TOFr TOT and Z position calibration, using charged pion sample. • Iteration several times (if needed) • Try channel-by-channel first • Not enough statistics? Then try module-by-module, or board-by-board April 27-29, Hangzhou
