NA48 KABES Readout

DESCRIPTION


Block diagram of the KABES Readout

DESCRIPTION

NA48 is going to use S-LINK for the optical connection between a PC and a custom VME module for the NA48 KABES (KAOn Beam Spectrometer) READ-OUT System. One side is SSPCI card and Single ODIN - the other side an ODIN mounted on a custom S-link interface.
 

Features

Host PC

  • standard desktop PC equipped  S-link to PCI cards and Optical Dual G-link interfaces

Read-Out Crate

  • 6U VME64x crate

SLVME - Optical S-link to VME interface

  • high speed full duplex S-link optical connection (128 Mbyte/s S-link to PCI and 500 Kbit/s PCI to S-link)
  • L1 Trigger Strobe Optical Input(FanOut via  private bus)
  • L2 Trigger Word optical TAXI reciever(FanOut via  VME broadcast)
  • Timing/Control ECL Inputs(FanOut via private bus) 
  • VME bus
    • VME64x Master with 2eSST transfer mode
    • Private «alone on the bus» Master mode 

ROC - Read-Out Card

  • 48 TDCs channels (measurement of leading and trailing edges)
  • 6 HPTDC chips
  • L2 64 KByte on-board L2 Ring buffer
  • Built-in test capabilities
  • Slow control connection to KABES station
  • VME64x Slave , 2eSST transfer mode
