class Packet_rich_fpga: public Packet_w4

This is the packet which deals with data in RICH_FPGA format.

Public Methods

int iValue(const int ich, const char *what)

with the "what" parameter you can decide which aspect of the data is made available.

int iValue(const int ich, const int iy)

This gives access to the 3 data words per channel, in case the use wants to look at that raw information.

int fillIntArray(int iarr[], const int nlen, int *nwout, const char *what="")

this interface got a special keyword for the benefit of the LVL2 Trigger.

int iValue(const int ich, const char *what)

with the "what" parameter you can decide which aspect of the data is made available. This class is one of those which have several different "kinds" of data; we use this to bring up the AMU cell information and all the misc. items in the FEM headers and trailers.

The AMU info is available as

 packet->iValue(0,"AMU") AMU cell from timing conversion 
 packet->iValue(1,"AMU") AMU cell from "pre" conversion
 packet->iValue(2,"AMU") AMU cell from "post" conversion

In addition, there is

 packet->iValue(0,"ID")       The detector id
 packet->iValue(0,"EVTNR")    The FEM event number
 packet->iValue(0,"MODULE")   The Module ID
 packet->iValue(0,"FLAG")     The Flag value
 packet->iValue(0,"BCLK")     Beam clock value from FEM
 packet->iValue(i,"PARITY")   The longitudinal parity
 packet->iValue(i,"SUMMARY")  The DCM summary word
 packet->iValue(i,"USERWORD") The USERWORD i, where i is from 0 through 7

int iValue(const int ich, const int iy)

This gives access to the 3 data words per channel, in case the use wants to look at that raw information.

We chose to implement the 3 words of information as the two-dimensional interface, so packet->iValue(k,i) gives you the word "i" of channel k, where i is

packet->iValue(k,0) timing tag (TDC)
packet->iValue(k,1) post sample
packet->iValue(k,2) pre sample

and "k" is the channel number from 0 through 160.

There are definitions which make this a bit more trasnparent; you can use

packet->iValue(k,RICH_TIME) timing tag (TDC)
packet->iValue(k,RICH_POSTSAMPLE) post sample
packet->iValue(k,RICH_PRESAMPLE) pre sample

int fillIntArray(int iarr[], const int nlen, int *nwout, const char *what="")

this interface got a special keyword for the benefit of the LVL2 Trigger. Calling

struct richChannelList rcl[160];
int nw, NumberOfChannels;
NumberOfChannels = p->fillIntArray ( (int *) rcl, 160*sizeof(*rcl), &nw, "SPARSE");

returns you the actually fired channels.

richChannelList is defined as

struct richChannelList
{
  int channel;
  int time;
  int post;
  int pre;
};
