bytestream. Decoder o Unpacks all ROD data into ‘user friendly’ RDOs o o A typical RDO, eg CPM data, provides: o o o Well, OK, user friendly to hardware people Crate, module Logical module eta, phi Data values for each slice Error flags for each slice Is this what we really want – particularly offline?

Bytestream Decoders, Status o Reminder – test beam status: o o o o 6 U CPM Data decoder 6 U CPM Ro. I decoder 6 U JEM Data decoder 6 U JEM Ro.

Bytestream Decoders, TO DO and a few questions o More 9 U ROD Modes: o o o Neutral 9 U ROD Modes: o o o All except PPM Data Necessary for completeness Neutral 6 U ROD Modes: o o o CMM Data in JEP DAQ and Ro. I PPM Data (probably the most difficult) Essentially all! How necessary are they ? Event format Version 3. 0 o o o When should we move to 3. 0 ? – probably not quite yet Should we use new detector ids immediately ? – my opinion, yes Should we move to 3. 0 for 6 U RODs ? - not a register November 2004 / July 2005 Stephen Hillier, University of Birmingham 4
