Radiation monitors scattered around the tunnel [functional spec [.doc]]
8 IPs. Two gateways per IP with up to 64 devices per gateway. 4096 maximum. [40 Gb hard drive down there]
Sector test: 32 devices in place
Each device counting (a word [8 bits]) at up to 100 Hz continuously.
Probably only interesting at certain points in a cycle.
- beam dump
- injection
Need someway of triggering acquisition and stopping it when there is beam.
database which would include:
- configuration
- calibration data, scaling factors etc.
FETs - type, sensitivity varies on device memory at 3,4,5 Volts depends on location - parameters needed at boot time. CONFIGURATION DATABASE.
Right
-- push to top at much reduced rate & display, log etc. - use LHC PC solution?
-- buffer everything locally 100 Hz and optionally push to post-mortem system in case of messy event
Would expect to use standard support.
Need fixed displays, either same or similar to BLMs and BCMs to allow easy comparison
