The FTPC data aquisition system is tied in with the main STAR DAQ. From the receivers onward, all hardware components are identical. The software for the electronics channel mapping is committed to the STAR cvs repository $CVSROOT/online/ftpc/MapFtpcElectronicsToDaq
The signals from the FTPC electronics are sent to DAQ where each
readout board,mezzanine card,asic is mapped to an FTPC sector,daqrow,daqpad.
HARDWARE:
2 identical FTPCs - Ftpc West = 1, Ftpc East = 2
5 rings/FTPC
2 padrows/ring
10 padrows/FTPC
6 sectors/padrow
6 sectors/padrow x 10 padrows/FTPC = 60 hardware sectors/FTPC
160 pads/sector
9600 pads/padrow
= 19200 electronics channels for both FTPCs
ELECTRONICS:
20 readout boards (RDOs)
10 RDOs/FTPC
3 mezzanine cards/RDO
= 3 mezzaanine cards/RDO x 10 RDOs/FTPC = 30 electronic sectors/FTPC
DAQ:
The signals from the FTPC electronics are mapped to the hardware with the FTPC_PADKEY.h file.
DAQ notation:
30 daqsectors/FTPC (Ftpc West 1-30, FtpcEast 31-60)
2 daqrows/daqsector
320 daqpads/daqsector = 2 x 160 daqpads/daqrow
