  14. Numbers in short Channels: ~ 2000 Typical signal in one channel: 15 mV before FE, 10 ns base width, AC coupled, ~ 1kHz rate Typical trigger in the detector: a set of PMTs (minimum ~ 20 max ALL) fire within a few 100s of ns. Typical triggering rate 10-50 Hz Muons every 30 s --> huge signals, but relatively rarely Data flow without zero suppression: 1 Gs/s x 2000 = 2. 1012 byte/s --> very hard Data flow after zero suppression: 1 kHz x 2000 x 100 samples = 200 Mb/s to be processed. Not trivial but feasable Typical data flow after group trigger: ~ 100 sample x 100 hits x 100 Hz ~ 1 Mb/s ... peanuts
