THE pid FILE
A dedicated Parameters Input Description file (pid extension) is attempted by RHB to read data from the FASTER DAQ. This pid file can be edited and relies on a very simple structure like that :
# a comment
faster_label:faster_type:parameter_name
faster_label is a number related to a detector. We decided to use this convention:
- 0001 - 0999 -> DSP data (RF, TREF, QDC1-4, ADC1)
- 1001 - 1999 -> Counter data (RF_COUNT, QCOUNT, ACOUNT)
- 2001 - 2999 -> Oscillogram data (OSC)
faster_type is the type of the data. Here is a list of availaible faster_type depending of the modules you are using in your FASTER system:
Pass your mouse over the faster_type, you will see all the raw parameters generated by RHB.
- RF module
- QDC-TDChr module
- TREF (if you don't need a charge information)
For example 1:TREF:CH1 will generate 2 raw parameters in RHB - QDC1, QDC2, QDC3 or QDC4
For example 1:QDC4:CH1 will generate 10 raw parameters in RHB - QDC_COUNT
For example 1:QDC_COUNT:CH1 will generate 3 raw parameters in RHB - OSC
For example 1:OSC:CH1 will generate 2 raw parameters in RHB
- TREF (if you don't need a charge information)
- SHAPER-PEAK-AND-HOLD module
