Ethernet Data Aquisition Code for SIS3316 250MHz Digitizers

This is the public open source version of code to run, read, and parse waveforms from Struct SIS3316 16 Channel 250 MHz Digitiers in serial, parallel, or synchronized operation in real binary or hdf5 parsed files. Simple plotly GUI

(Work in Progress) SimpleSetup.docx goes over the basic setup in more detail

code_background.pptx under manuals goes over code base architecture.

To Do: Cleanup and Turn into Python Package

Current Requirements

1. Python 3
2. Numpy
3. Pytables
4. Plotly

data_subscriber.py output dictionary values (unordered)

The dictionary fields depend on the hit/event flags that are set in the config file. Unless otherwise stated, all data types are 32-bit uint. The FIR Trigger shaper is the "short shaper" and the FIR Energy shaper is "long shaper".

Fields

0. rid - global event id number, useful for sorting raw data events
1. timestamp - 64-bit uint in samples (depends on clock frequency)
2. det - detector ID, first det is 0

if 'Accumulator Gates 1-6 Flag' is set to True then the following fields are also present

3. adc_max - max adc value .
4. adc_argmax - index of max value
5. pileup
6. gate 1
7. gate 2
8. gate 3
9. gate 4
10. gate 5
11. gate 6

if 'Accumulator Gates 7-8 Flag' is set to True

12. gate 7
13. gate 8

if 'MAW Values Flag' is set to True:

14. maw_max - max value of fast shaper
15. maw_after_trig - fast shaper value 1 sample after trig
16. maw_before_trig - fast shaper value 1 sample before trig

if 'Energy Values Flag' is set to True:

17. en_start - long shaper value at trigger
18. en_max - max value of long shaper

if 'Save MAW Signal' is set to True:

19. maw_data - 'MAW Test Buffer Length' of 32-bit uint Samples from either the short or long shaper. Energy/Long MAW if 'Save MAW Signal' is true, Trigger/Short MAW otherwise

if 'Sample Length' > 0

20. raw_data - 'Sample Length' 16-bit uint ADC samples

Notes

250 MHz -> 4 ns/sample
