  1. Pulsar Meeting  Project Overview & System Integration Ted Liu June 11th, 2004 Fermilab, High Rise, Hornet Nest

  2. Lots done since March meeting • Fiber splitting is working for all paths  still need active splitter for RECES • (see Chris’talk) • RECES/Cluster inputs working with beam, PulsarMon design in place • (see Vadim’s talk) • LVDS splitting is working for all paths  no blue wire on Fanout boards! • Most firmware in places for all paths (Tx & Rx)  fine tuning starts • (see Sakari’s talk) • Pulsar production/testing success !  all hardware in place • (see Burkard’s talk) • TSL1APulsar Merger Tx CPUL2TS Pulsar  TS  L2R/A • loop closed! (see Cheng-Ju and Kristian’s talk) • Control CPU and Algorithm CPU communication software in place • (see Daniel and Kristian’s talk) • New VME DAQ readout code in place (see Jane and Burkard’s talk) • Pulsar crate almost FULL  platform for integration in place (see Burkard’s talk) • …

  5. Using Pulsar SVT Rx to measure SVT/SVX timing (lemo inputs: flexibility of Pulsar AUX card) SVT pipeline SVX/SRC Can also measure timing @ intermediate stages Lemo cable From modified VTM: signal to indicate SVX data activity SVT in New Pulsar SVT Rx firmware/AUX card can measure the leading and trailing edge times for both SVT input (SVX data) and SVT output… Beam tests on going….. Important for SVT upgrade and overall L2 performance

  6. Are you ready for the summer integration? head shaved & cabled up These two are !

  7. System Integration: two main efforts  one between the two: SLINK fibers Pulsar pre-processors L1 muon L1 XTRP L1 trigger Muon Merger TS PC L2toTS Cluster SLINK L2 CAL (CLIST/Iso) PreFred SVT SVT Electron ShowMax (RECES) Trigger Room with beam Teststand Room Standalone Merger

  8. System Integration: Part I in trigger room Pulsar pre-processors L1 muon L1 XTRP L1 trigger Muon Merger Pulsar Rx L2toTS Cluster SLINK L2 CAL (CLIST/Iso) PreFred SVT Beam Tests SVT Electron ShowMax (RECES) Trigger Room with beam Room Standalone Firmware Fine tune Pulsar Monitoring Merger

  9. Key to success: coherent team effort ! Coordinator: Burkard “In God we trust, everything else we test with beam” Beam Tests Coordinator: Vadim “In God we trust, everything else we monitor” -- FBI Coordinator: Ted “In God we trust, everything else we simulate” Monitoring Firmware Weekly plan will be made at Tuesday weekly meetings (Trailer 171 E, 3-4:30pm) Progress reports at Friday bi-weekly trigger hardware meetings

  10. Key to success: coherent team effort ! • all beam test requests coordinated • with trigger SPLs • Train system experts now • pager carrier, rotate weekly • setup web page with instructions • … see Burkard’s talk Beam Tests • Have all monitoring code • ready for all subsystems • next month • setup web page with details • filled by experts • set goals for the • coming months • … see Vadim’s talk • firmware is not a place • to show how smart one • is, rather how many • mistakes one can make • and how fast one can • fix them ! Monitoring Firmware We are moving from the age of firmware into the age of monitoring software …

  11. System Integration this summer Pulsar pre-processors L1 muon L1 XTRP L1 trigger Muon Merger TS PC L2toTS Cluster SLINK L2 CAL (CLIST/Iso) PreFred SVT SVT Electron ShowMax (RECES) To make the commissioning and long term maintenance MUCH easier, we need to split all fibers for RECES  active splitters Design and production: Chris Started one month ago Engineer support from Upenn Merger

  12. System Integration: Part II • Standalone first before move to • trigger room • develop&test all software here • study initial performance with • sparky triggers Merger Tx TS PC L2toTS Cluster SVT SVT Tx Adjust SVT latency and data size SVT Electron Trigger Room with beam Teststand Room Standalone Hardware coordinator: Cheng-Ju PC/Software coordinator: Daniel Algorithm/PCI expert: Kristian Merger

  13. Mini-DAQ with L2 trigger in test stand room Pulsar (L2TS) Pulsar Merger Tx RXPT TXPT TS FRED (GL1) L2 Trigger Data PC TS L1A (SLINK fiber) preFRED (SLINK fiber) L2 Trigger Decision + TL2D Bank (Phase I) TS handshaking (sending L2A/R, ROL, Buffer #) L2TS Pulsar Can also use L2TS Pulsar +TS to deliver Sparky trigger to 8 teststand crates Details see Kristian/Daniel/Cheng-Ju’s talk

  14. System Integration: 2  1 aim at late July 04 Pulsar pre-processors L1 muon L1 XTRP L1 trigger Muon Merger TS PC L2toTS Cluster SLINK L2 CAL (CLIST/Iso) PreFred SVT SVT Electron ShowMax (RECES) Trigger Room with beam Merger

  15. Goals before Aug. shutdown • put system together • take enough beam data in parasitic mode • a few runs in decision making mode • have enough system data to chew on • during the shutdown (or long beam abort gap)

  16. Challenges in system integration • So far we have done the simple part, the part we know • for sure that needs to be done and how to get it done • we may encounter some unknowns during commissioning: • either we don’t know about them yet but they are out there • waiting for us (like fiber splitting problems back in March), • or problems created by us along the way… • More often than not, those are the toughest ones and • you will have most of the fun solving them… • Be prepared !

  17. A few comments • Everyone in the group is proud of the Pulsar board … • What I am really proud of are the young people on this project … • We have the best young people I have seen, EVERYONE of them • Even though some could only work on Pulsar part time so far, • Productivity / hour spent : VERY high for everyone • Talent  Great performance • Can we have a working system running in parasitic mode • before shutdown in Fall 2004 ? • Our young people have the answer ! • Note that the youngest Pulsar soldier will arrive next Monday ! • Her name is Angie Little, our summer student

  18. I have saved this bottle for all of you, for a party later this year … 2003 PCB Technology Leadership Award

  19. Pulsar Party tonight @ my house Tonight we will open this bottle instead… Chinese “Vodka” Happy B-day, Burkard! Daniel has designed Pulsar L2 to only have 2 states: Thirsty or Drunk 30 -- 40 KHz?
