Requirements for serial download to the muTr FPGA from ArcNet for the calibration system - M.J. Leitch 3/1/00 ============================================================= This download is necessary in order to make the data self-describing in terms of the calibration configuration. The calibration configuration includes one bit to specify calibration is enabled, 8 bits for the DAC that sets the amplitude of the calibration pulse, and 64 bits that specify which anodes are being pulsed. This is a total of 73 bits. These bits should be loaded as part of the serial string that is sent to the FPGA via ArcNet and they will then be inserted into the data packets in the user words by the FPGA code. Specifically I would like them to be inserted in the following words in the packets: 1st userword least-significant-bit - on for calibration enabled (off when not enabled) 1st userword next 8 bits - DAC value 2nd userword first 16 bits of 64 bit anode "mask" 3rd userword second 16 bits of 64 bit anode "mask" 4th userword third 16 bits of 64 bit anode "mask" 5th userword fourth 16 bits of 64 bit anode "mask"
