Zero Energy Responseof ADF Raw ADC and ADF Output Et& New “36 LiveX sampling mode” for Find_DAC Philippe Laurens MSU -- 19 Sept 2006 (rev 20-sept-2006)
2x New Tools on L1Cal TCC • 2x New Tools to investigate the synchronous noise in the BLS signals • 1) look at 4x oversampled RawADC counts • All 636 samples per turn • including 36 samples used to determine Live X energy • 2) look at ADF Ouput Et for Live Crossings • Just 36 Live Crossings • This is the data sent to the TABs • Observing the noise; not energy deposits • Random noise • Synchronous noise (wrt 132 ns, or 21 us, or …)
Profile Raw ADC (i.e. BLS signal) • For each Trigger Tower tested • Collect 1000 whole turns snapshots • Build 4x159=636 independent histograms • Report details • Average for each “sub-tick” • Standard Deviation for each sub-tick • Report summaries • Average of the 636 Averages • Standard Deviation of 636 Averages • Average of 636 Standard Deviations • Standard Deviation of 636 Standard Deviations • Ditto for the 36 samples used for Live Crossings
Profile Raw ADC (i.e. BLS signal) • This is rather slow takes about 4 seconds per EM or HD Tower • Does not interfere with other monitoring • Collected data for all 32x HD at TT_Eta=+9 • Picked this range because monitoring showed towers away from zero energy response of 8 • We see it on the scope, we see it in monitoring, we see it in the data collected…
Profile Output Et (i.e. TAB Input) • For each Trigger Tower tested • Collect 1000 whole turns snapshots • Build 36 independent histograms • Report details • Average for each Live X • Standard Deviation for each Live X • Data in histograms • Report summaries • Average of the 36 Averages • Standard Deviation of 36 Averages • Average of 36 Standard Deviations • Standard Deviation of 36 Standard Deviations
Profile Output Et (i.e. TAB Input) • This is faster (15mn for the whole thing) • But interferes with the monitoring service
New Find_DAC sampling mode • Old Find_DAC mode was using all oversampled data • New option is to use just the 36 samples used to determine the Live X Output Et • The algorithm has not changed
New Find_DAC sampling mode • Test was both successful… • Worked just fine for most towers • will produce “better” Zero Energy Response=8 • … and a failure • Bumped into a new “phenomenon” • On Sept 7th and again 14th the average Raw ADC for some regions would shift by several counts within milliseconds • This is not a feature of the sampling mode

What is/was going on? • Could it be this: • Date Created: Saturday, September 16, 2006 4:01:35 PM CDT Keyword(s): :CAPTAIN:END_SHIFT: * major CAL noise problem found due to PDT033, possibly bad control board
Summary • These are new tools • still being developed • To study the BLS data • Provide hints on the source of noise? • Provide hints on the path of the noise? • To understand L1Cal TT Et data • Improve input to TABs? • Discrepancy vs Thomas’ ZB averages?
