STAR Firmware and software development plan there are six firmware versions: individual test probe test ITB test beam test Phase-2 sector test final version most modules are shared among all these versions. readout software is backwards compatible the command generator for the final version can generate commands for all tests. readout software source codes are portble between linux and windows the control commands are the same between DDL and USB Xiangming Sun PXL Sensor and RDO review – 06/23/2010 2

STAR task description Ø individual test single sensor are connected. Ø probe test sensor are put on probe station and power supply are controlled Ø ITB test 10 sensor are connected in parallel, long cable are used Ø beam test sensers are built into a telescope. Trigger is included ØPhase-2 sector test : more than 2 sectors are connected. Trigger is included Ø final version: 40 sensors are connected. Long cables are used. Trigger is included Xiangming Sun PXL Sensor and RDO review – 06/23/2010 3

STAR Firmware and software status for all stages individual test finished probe test on-going ITB test beam test Phase-2 sector test In ITB test, event mode functionality is working and implemented in the IOdelay function. This is the first test of event machine module. final version readout software is ready for individual test, probe test, ITB test. event mode readout software is on-going.
