0. Turning on discriminators made noise go away. Only 2 channels remain noisy: Module 17 channel 14 and 15. But they correspond to beam strobe and detector strobe. So actually there are no noisy hits. from rd_map: module channel (0..31) 17 14 0 1 22 Special Beam strobe 17 15 0 2 22 Special Detector strobe 1. events 1-100 module 17 channel 16-31. looks OK 2. Let's check a bad module. Slot number 33 (0x21) - presumably has a wrong TDC ID bit and report itself as module number 35 (0x23). (rstdc_33a_bad.hbk). That module has little yellow tag on it with ID=544192 Header is indeed wrong. Took off the module and plugged in a new one. New module produce header 43 instead of 31. Same story.... (rstdc_33a_badagain.hbk) I believe it is not the module, but CAMAC crate. 3. Trying channels 0-15 on module 24. They had double peaks, separated by 256 counts (rstdc_24a_bad.hbk). Took that module out. It has a yellow tag with ID=540372. Took module with "bad TDC header" (ID=544192) and plug it to be module 24. (rstdc_24a.hbk & rstdc_24b.hbk) New module report itself as a module 24. So TDC header is actually OK. That makes me more confident that error is in the CAMAC crate, not in the module. Channel 0 and Channel 16 has very different stop time compared to other channels (again 256 counts). Start time for all channels is OK. Let it be for a moment. 4. Testing module 26. It has 256 TDC counts double peak problem. (rstdc_26a.hbk & rstdc26b.hbk). Channel 0,1,15,16 has 256 shifted start/stop position compared to other channels. 5. IMPORTANT: I noticed that cables in modules 27 were plugged in WRONG They were shifted by 1 pin up. So channels 19M10 and channel 19M18 would get ground instead of pin 15/31. Plugged them in right position. I though it could help module 26 in it's strange start-stop pattern. It did not. Found similar problem in upper connector on module number 00. Chennel 15 (1M10) was getting ground instead of the signal. Someone tried hard that bend the pin and almost broke the connector. I looked on all channels. Overall 3 wrong plugged connectors were found. 6. I'm sick of bad modules. Let's check a good module for a change. I picked module 27. Well this module indeed is good. No funny start/stop patterns. Just good and reasonable. For the sake of speed I plugged 2 16-bit cables and tested all 32 channels (rstdc_27.hbk) 7. Check bad module number 28. Again it produced 256 TDC counds double peaks. Again chanel 0,1 have strange start/stop pattern. 8. Testing ALL modules 500 pulser events each. WARNING: module 12 has pin for channel 13 BENT, so that it missed the connector. BAD.... Fixed. Module 12: 2 peacks in start/stop separated by 20 nsec. channel 0 (9P3) is missing channel 1 (9M3) has bad stop signal Strange, they looked good on my map. Module 24: chanel 0 nas bad stop signal Module 26: channel 0,1 has bad start/stop signals Module 28: channel 0,1 has bad start/stop signals Very similar to Module 26 Module 31 looks like some lower bits are missing Module 32 looks like all channels are shifted Module 33 Wrong header (43 instead of 33). Looks like some bits are missing Module 34 looks like channels are shifte Module 35 tdc header is wrong (module=41, instead of 35) 12 001100 13 001101 14 001110 15 001111 30 011110 31 011111 32 100000 33 100001 read as 43 101011 34 100010 35 100011 read as 43 101011 Moved all the files with the original scan to the direcotry orig_scan Took module 12 out it's ID=540641. Put in instead spare module
