Detector Controls for the ALICE EMC Mike Cherney Creighton University 3 / 13 / 06
PVSS Hardware at Creighton • Windows System • Running PVSS • Two Linux Systems on Private Network
PVSS Software at Creighton • Have implemented PVSS on Windows • Have implemented DIM on Windows • Have implemented FSM on Windows
DCS / Detector Tasks • HV Bias settings for the APD’s • Downloading Front End Electronics FPGA code • Downloading Trigger Region Unit FPGA code • Downloading ALTRO chip ADC signal processing parameters • Downloading Trigger thresholds and bad channel lists • Downloading Clock Offsets for readout • System Initialization • Calibration • LED pulse control (trigger setup, timing, amplitude, pattern) • Monitor local EMCal temperatures • Monitor voltages
DCS / DAQ Tasks • Pedestal downloading • Begin run functions • Buffer clearing • Bad channel list downloading to the High Level Trigger and Data Collector • Run Header information download to Data Collector
