TOF Subsystems for Diagnostics
Cosmic Trigger.
- TOF triggers itself.
- These events are used for diagnostic purposes.
- We can quickly determine specific channels that might be problematic.
- Cross check discriminators’ thresholds.
- Cross check on PMT status.
TDC calibration/ Timing Hardware test.
- TDC calibration on all TOF TDC channels at once.
- Quick diagnostic check of the timing hardware from the discriminator to the TDC.
- Can also be used for a diagnostic check of cosmic trigger hardware.
