<hr />
<div>The global control screen allows a user to set control values that are written to all the digitizers in Gammasphere's [[DAQ system]] - in other words, it allows a user to specify the parameters of their desired [[Gammasphere Waveform Buffers|waveform]]. <br />
* Section 1 of the screen inside the <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> rectangle has four columns, each of which represent the different signals sent from detectors. The user sets these parameters so the time values can determine which signal shapes should be saved as waveform data, and how much of it should be saved. The threshold, PARST delay and CFD fraction are used to select how sensitive the digitizer is to the amplitude of the expected signals. Once all the values in the red section 1 are set, the user has to send a "load delays" command (the green button), which restarts the firmware and processes the data with the newly set values. <br />
* Section 2 of the screen inside the <span style="color:green">'''green'''</span> rectangle allows the user to set operational parameters for all the signals. The TrigMode, MinCompWin and MaxCompWin controls are the most commonly modified controls in this region. The TrigMode enables or disables the use of the trigger system to select specific events. TrigMode has two modes: IntAcptAll and TTCL. In the IntAcptAll mode, every AcceptedHit will get read out. In the TTCL mode, only the subset of AcceptedHits that meet the selection criteria of the trigger are read out. When this is selected, the MinCompWin and MaxCompWin controls select the time window relative to the timestamp contained within the Trigger Accept message during which events will be marked for readout. These timing values are related to the values of the [[Gammasphere Waveform Buffers|“M Window”, “K0 window” and “K window”]]. The green parameters act immediately upon the user setting a new value (no “Load Delays” is required like in Section 1). <br />
* Section 3 of the screen inside the <span style="color:blue">'''blue'''</span> rectangle encloses a separate set of controls that, like the red and green areas, control) how the digitizer channels process the analog data. These controls, however, are focused upon generic parameters that would apply to any signal as opposed to the other control parameters used to tune the response to specific timings and signal shapes. <br />
* Section 4 of the screen inside the <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span> rectangle has to do with how the digitizer sends data to the [[Triggers|trigger system]] and how the [[Digitizers|digitizer]] responds to the trigger system. Under normal circumstances the average user will never change these controls, the only exception is situations where setups are being used when only “clean” (non-scattered) gamma-ray hits should ever be read out. In this case the “EN VETO” box would be checked to allow the trigger system to automatically strip all “dirty” hits from the GeCenter/BGOsum channel pair before they can be selected for readout.<br />
* Section 5 inside the <span style="color:yellow">'''yellow'''</span> rectangle is used to control special operational modes of the digitizer channels, generally referred to as the “external discriminator”. The normal setting is “Disc ONLY” in which case the discriminator logic of each channel marks ‘hits’ only when edges of the input analog signal are found. The other settings allow selection of signals outside the channel (hence the name ‘external’) as an alternate source of the discriminator logic, and whether that external signal is ANDed, ORed, or used in place of the discriminator logic. The external discriminator modes are generally used only by experts to set up for unique situations, or to diagnose problems. Under normal experiment situations these controls are always set to “Disc ONLY”.<br />
The Diagnostics screen, under section 2, is for engineers only. <br />

<div>This screen gives controls and monitoring for the Master [[Triggers|trigger]] of the [[DAQ system]]. The master trigger implements 11 bi-directional communications links. Each link (named A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,R,U) is capable of transmitting data at 1Gbit/sec while simultaneously receiving data at 1Gbit/sec. The system connectivity is hierarchical. The master trigger communicates with router trigger modules within its detector system via links A-H, a master trigger module of another detector system via either link L or link R, and a MyRIAD module of another detector system via link U. The master trigger continuously transmits information to every module. <br />
*Section 1 of the screen inside the <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> box is for LED Control. <br />
*Section 2 of the screen inside the <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span> box is for miscellaneous statistics. It is an indicator, which shows the user the activity with the module or function listed next to it. <br />
*Section 3 of the screen inside the <span style="color:yellow">'''yellow'''</span> box contain miscellaneous controls. <br />
*Section 4 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#b5d59e">'''green'''</span> box is for LRU Control. It handles the "L", "R", and "U" links for communication with other systems. "LRU" refers to the three communication links that can be paired with other systems, and the control section is for controlling their function. The DEN, REN, and SYNC controls are in section 4 to set the synchronization pattern. <br />
*Section 5 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#4188ca">'''blue'''</span> box is for trigger selections. Trigger Accept messages tell the digitizers what subset of data to make available for readout. In the Trigger Select section, the user may select different trigger algorithms to be active or inactive for the purpose of making these trigger accept messages. Different trigger algorithms are associated with different data collected both from the local system and the external systems.<br />
*Section 6 of the screen inside the <span style="color:purple">'''purple'''</span> box is for propagation frames. Master triggers may be connected to other Master Triggers via a 1Gbit/sec cable, allowing them to broadcast their TTCL link (clock, timestamp, trigger accepts, etc.) to each other. When connected this way the receiving master trigger has registers known as the propagation control registers that allow them to select what parts of the other trigger’s TTCL they will listen to. If the receiving master is receiving information over link L, then the F1 bit in the link L propagation control register allows this master trigger to use the clock of the other master trigger as it’s clock just like is done within a local system, causing two disparate systems to be synchronized.If other propagation control bits are set then the related subclass of trigger accept messages from the remote master trigger may be propagated into the local system as additional trigger accepts beyond those calculated locally. <br />
*Section 7 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#C678DD">'''pink'''</span> box is for input link masks and output control. Trigger modules have a mix of front panel I/O connections to allow users to attach external cabling. The most heavily used of these are the NIM I/O connections. NIM stands for Nuclear Instrumentation module. There are two NIM outputs and two NIM inputs. The two NIM outputs have many different choices of what signals are driven out, controlled by the Output Control selections. The two NIM inputs have variant function dependent upon the needs of the user. NIM input 1 can be used as an Auxiliary trigger input signal, that may be used to cause a trigger accept message. NIM input 2 can be used either as a trigger Veto input, that may be used to veto issuance of trigger accept messages or may alternately be used as the RF Clock input for the master trigger’s time-to-digital converter (TDC) function. <br />
*Section 8 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#bf9000">'''gold'''</span> box is for trigger rates. They show the raw data the trigger recieves, and, based on user input, the amount of veto-able data. <br />
*Section 9 of the screen inside the <span style="color:gray">'''gray'''</span> box is for veto selects. The given options allow a user to enable vetoing in certain cases or areas of data acquisition.<br />
*Section 10 of the screen inside the <span style="color:black">'''black'''</span> box is for trigger settings. <br />

</imagemap><br />
Gammasphere's preamplifier (also called a preamp) drives the Ge central contact and two Ge side channel [[Detector Signals|signals]] of each detector. It sits inside a chamber of the [[Gammasphere Detectors|detector]], where it receives signals taken directly from the Ge. There are two kinds of preamps: segmented and non-segmented. Segmented preamps are made for detectors that have a Ge that is split in half by having an insulator in the middle of its cylindrical shape (thus making two sides or halves), while non-segmented preamps are made for detectors where the Ge is not split. The preamps themselves are not physically different, but the segmented preamps have additional functions in comparison to non-segmented ones. <br />
<br />
The preamp is the first part of the [[DAQ system]] from the detectors and provides monitoring data to the EPICS interface. It contains temperature and humidity sensors and has unique self-diagnostic capabilities that can allow it to identify certain failures in the Ge detector. Furthermore, it has the capability to communicate with the pickoff card inside the SBX, using an I2C bus.<br />

The Slope Box Extension (SBX) unit provides power to the detector and helps convert signals received from the detector to be sent to the [[Collector Box|collector box]]. It extends directly from the [[The Slope Box|slope box]]. The SBX contains a power board and '''[[The Pickoff Card|"pickoff card"]]''' along with an optional '''Raspberry Pi''' computer for standalone detecter operation. As a whole, the SBX is there to handle much of the signals and processing between the detectors and the greater [[DAQ system|data acquisition system]]. The power board of the SBX provides all necessary power to the detector from a single source (48VDC), and allows a single detector and its SBX to be run entirely from one PoE (power over ethernet) port, enabling a detector to operate by itself. Meanwhile, the pickoff card converts signals from the detector to go to the digitizer. Understanding the SBX on a hardware level can be understood by observing the functions of the [[The Pickoff Card|pickoff card]]. <br />
<br />
These electronics replace all utility of the previously used "VXI system", while providing additional functionality previously unavailable. The addition of the Slope Box Extension moved all detector analog signal conditioning performed by the pickoff directly to the detector. Signal conversion prior to the existence of the SBX required extensive cabling and signal-carrying to the VXI sub-systems before being digitized. As a result of the changes, there is a significant reduction in cabling, and the elimination of the VXI sub-system that previously fulfilled the function of the SBX, making the detector easier to move in the future. The Slope Box Extension now drives a DVI-I cable containing the analog signals, power, and communication interface to a [[Collector Box|collector box]].<br />
<br />
==EDM Interface for Slope Box==<br />
<br />
The Raspberry Pi contains an EDM screen allowing users to read and write process variables (PVs). The Slope Box PVs include detector controls and monitoring (HV, Temps, etc.), and the SBX Pickoff PVs include control for signal processing functions (DC offset, gain range, Preamp Reset Clamping, etc.). <br />

The power board of each [[The Slope Box Extension|SBX]] is an all-in-one, point-of-load power system for detectors and the SBX. It powers the entire system from a single 48VDC input by generating all voltages for slope box, preamp, pickoff board and Raspberry Pi. Furthermore, it allows a single detector and its SBX to be run entirely from one PoE (power over ethernet) port, enabling standalone detector operation. It is located on top of the [[The Pickoff Card|pickoff card]] inside the [[The Slope Box Extension|SBX]].<br />
<br />
Figure 1 shows how the Power Over Ethernet compliant allows a single detector plus SBX to be run entirely from one PoE port, enabling standalone detector operation. The Ethernet cable is plugged into the power board inside the SBX, and is used to power the slope box and pickoff, and preamp. An IOC within the SBX transfers signals to the digitizer, giving each detector the ability to run self-sufficiently. Furthermore, the Ethernet cable enables the user to view indicator values and control certain process variables using EPICS, which helps curate and monitor the data received. <br />

<div>[[File:LNlabeled.png|600px|thumb|The liquid nitrogen fill system.]]<br />
Gammasphere's [[Gammasphere Detectors|detectors]] use [[High Purity Germanium (HPGe)|germanium]] that needs to be kept at a specified temperature to stay intact. Gammasphere uses liquid nitrogen within each detector that maintains the thermal requirement. Each detector has a nitrogen tank that has to be filled with nitrogen, a process that is completed through something called an [[LN system]], where a large tank gives gaseous nitrogen and given to “solenoids” that provide a valve to control the flow of nitrogen to each detector as liquid nitrogen.

Gammasphere's [[Gammasphere Detectors|detectors]] use [[High Purity Germanium (HPGe)|germanium]] that needs to be kept at a specified temperature to stay intact. Gammasphere uses liquid nitrogen within each detector that maintains the thermal requirement. Each detector has a nitrogen tank that has to be filled with nitrogen, a process that is completed through something called an [[LN system]], where a large tank gives gaseous nitrogen and given to “solenoids” that provide a valve to control the flow of nitrogen to each detector as liquid nitrogen. The system is controlled through the VME computer, and the fill process for Gammasphere detectors is done at least twice daily. Failure to fill a detector's Dewar will result in damage to the Ge crystal, which is a costly and time-consuming process to repair.

Gammasphere's DAQ system (data acquisition system) is now placed on relay racks by each side of its "hemispheres". Each of the racks for the DAQ consists of a [[DAQ Power Supply|power supply]], a [[Collector Box|collector box]], and a [[VME Crates|VME crate]]. The data acquisition system observes, interprets, and modifies data taken from [[Gammasphere]] and appropriately presents it to the user. <br />
<br />
When [[Gammasphere]] collects data, single-ended [[Detector Signals|signals]] are first collected from the slope box for the Ge Center, Ge Sides, and BGO segment. The signals are converted to differential signals by the [[The Slope Box Extension|SBX]], and are then sent to the collector box so the signals can properly be routed to the digitizers. The digitizers process and output the desired information to the user based upon their data specifications. The DAQ system is an FPGA-based design that provides communication hub interfacing the [[Preamplifier|preamp]], power board, dongle and slope box to EPICS through serial interface. Analog signal paths are completely software controlled. <br />
==DAQ System Function==<br />
The DAQ system prior to upgrades consisted of VME crates, IOC Modules, Digitizers and Trigger Modules. There were two types of Digitizers (Master and Slave) and well as Trigger (Master and Router). In the current version of the upgraded Gammasphere DAQ system, some of the old hardware is still used, but in a different way. All channels in all digitizers run continuously. When discriminator logic marks leading edges of gamma-ray signals, energy sums, timing and other data are stored in a header identifying the event. If the event is selected for readout by the trigger system, the header and a programmable amount of waveform is transferred from the channel to the board-wide FIFO (first in, first out) data holder. The IOC scans the FIFOs to see if there is data to read out. If so, the IOC reads it out into buffers. A program called “gtReceiver” sends messages to each IOC when the receiver is ready for more data. The IOC then breaks apart buffers into UDP packets and sends them to gtReceiver. The gtReceiver program then routes the packets to files that may be organized by digitizer or by channel. <br />

The detectors in [[Gammasphere]] are [[High Purity Germanium (HPGe)|high purity germanium]] detectors sensitive to x- and gamma-rays from a few dozen keV to ~10MeV energy. All Gammasphere detectors are Compton shielded using bismuth germanate (BGO) shields. Six planar BGO detectors form a hexagonal shield array around the HPGe detector sides and a 7th BGO shield behind (at farther radius from the interaction point) is used as a "back plug". The germanium detector itself is of the coaxial type. Incident gamma-rays typically deposit charge in the germanium that is read out through the center contact. A detector in the upgraded Gammasphere system consists of [[High Purity Germanium (HPGe) and BGO|Ge and BGO]], a [[preamplifier]], a [[Liquid Nitrogen|nitrogen tank]], a [[The Slope Box|slope box]], and an [[The Slope Box Extension|SBX]]. All the hardware is there to monitor or maintain the Ge and BGO. <br />
<br />
The data that is collected in each detector occurs when gamma rays hit the [[High Purity Germanium (HPGe) and BGO|Ge and BGO]] of the detector. Incident gamma-rays typically deposit charge in the germanium that is read out through the center contact, creating various [[Detector Signals|signals]]. The signal is understood and conditioned through the [[DAQ system]], the data acquisition system that presents human-readable results to the user. Detectors are the first components of Gammasphere to acquire any kind of data about gamma ray interaction. The data that is collected in each detector goes through the [[DAQ system]], the data acquisition system which presents results to the user. <br />
<br />
=== Segmented Detectors ===<br />
<br />
Many of the Ge detectors in Gammasphere are segmented. In these the Ge portion of the detector is split in half resulting in three Ge contacts (Center, Side A, Side B). Only one of the side connections is brought out to the digitizers as the charge that would be in the other side is given by subtraction of the measured side from the center contact.<br />
<br />
=== Non-Segmented Detectors ===<br />
<br />
Non-Segmented detectors are the same as segmented ones, but the Ge inside of the detector isn't split, resulting in two Ge contacts instead of three. The hardware is nearly identical, and the main difference is in the signals that are sent. <br />
<br />
==Detector EDM Screens==<br />
<br />
Gammasphere Detectors have multiple relevant screens. The primary ones used are the temperature screens of the detector and the relevant process variables (PVs). The following image shows the [[Run Control Detector PVs|detector PVs screen]]. It is a clickable image that can show you what the different buttons show when clicked:<br />

If the event is selected for readout by the trigger system, the header and a programmable amount of waveform is transferred from the channel to the board-wide FIFO (first in, first out) data holder. The IOC scans the FIFOs to see if there is data to read out. If so, the IOC reads it out into buffers. A program called “gtReceiver” sends messages to each IOC when the receiver is ready for more data. The IOC then breaks apart buffers into UDP packets and sends them to gtReceiver. The gtReceiver program then routes the packets to files that may be organized by digitizer or by channel. <br />

<div>This screen gives controls and monitoring for the Master [[Triggers|trigger]] of the [[DAQ system]]. The master trigger implements 11 bi-directional communications links. Each link (named A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,R,U) is capable of transmitting data at 1Gbit/sec while simultaneously receiving data at 1Gbit/sec. The system connectivity is hierarchical. The master trigger communicates with router trigger modules within its detector system via links A-H, a master trigger module of another detector system via either link L or link R, and a MyRIAD module of another detector system via link U. The master trigger continuously transmits information to every module. <br />
*Section 1 of the screen inside the <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> box is for LED Control. <br />
*Section 2 of the screen inside the <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span> box is for miscellaneous statistics. It is an indicator, which shows the user the activity with the module or function listed next to it. <br />
*Section 3 of the screen inside the <span style="color:yellow">'''yellow'''</span> box contain miscellaneous controls. <br />
*Section 4 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#b5d59e">'''green'''</span> box is for LRU Control. It handles the "L", "R", and "U" links for communication with other systems. "LRU" refers to the three communication links that can be paired with other systems, and the control section is for controlling their function. The DEN, REN, and SYNC controls are in section 4 to set the synchronization pattern. <br />
*Section 5 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#4188ca">'''blue'''</span> box is for trigger selections. Trigger Accept messages tell the digitizers what subset of data to make available for readout. In the Trigger Select section, the user may select different trigger algorithms to be active or inactive for the purpose of making these trigger accept messages. Different trigger algorithms are associated with different data collected both from the local system and the external systems.<br />
*Section 6 of the screen inside the <span style="color:purple">'''purple'''</span> box is for propagation frames. Master triggers may be connected to other Master Triggers via a 1Gbit/sec cable, allowing them to broadcast their TTCL link (clock, timestamp, trigger accepts, etc.) to each other. When connected this way the receiving master trigger has registers known as the propagation control registers that allow them to select what parts of the other trigger’s TTCL they will listen to. If the receiving master is receiving information over link L, then the F1 bit in the link L propagation control register allows this master trigger to use the clock of the other master trigger as it’s clock just like is done within a local system, causing two disparate systems to be synchronized.If other propagation control bits are set then the related subclass of trigger accept messages from the remote master trigger may be propagated into the local system as additional trigger accepts beyond those calculated locally. <br />
*Section 7 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#C678DD">'''pink'''</span> box is for input link masks and output control. Trigger modules have a mix of front panel I/O connections to allow users to attach external cabling. The most heavily used of these are the NIM I/O connections. NIM stands for Nuclear Instrumentation module. There are two NIM outputs and two NIM inputs. The two NIM outputs have many different choices of what signals are driven out, controlled by the Output Control selections. The two NIM inputs have variant function dependent upon the needs of the user. NIM input 1 can be used as an Auxiliary trigger input signal, that may be used to cause a trigger accept message. NIM input 2 can be used either as a trigger Veto input, that may be used to veto issuance of trigger accept messages or may alternately be used as the RF Clock input for the master trigger’s time-to-digital converter (TDC) function. <br />
*Section 8 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#bf9000">'''gold'''</span> box is for trigger rates. They show the raw data the trigger recieves, and, based on user input, the amount of veto-able data. <br />
*Section 9 of the screen inside the <span style="color:gray">'''gray'''</span> box is for veto selects. The given options allow a user to enable vetoing in certain cases or areas of data acquisition.<br />
*Section 10 of the screen inside the <span style="color:black">'''black'''</span> box is for trigger settings. <br />

<div>This screen gives controls and monitoring for the Master [[Triggers|trigger]] of the [[DAQ system]]. The master trigger implements 11 bi-directional communications links. Each link (named A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,R,U) is capable of transmitting data at 1Gbit/sec while simultaneously receiving data at 1Gbit/sec. The system connectivity is hierarchical. The master trigger communicates with router trigger modules within its detector system via links A-H, a master trigger module of another detector system via either link L or link R, and a MyRIAD module of another detector system via link U. The master trigger continuously transmits information to every module. <br />
*Section 1 of the screen inside the <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> box is for LED Control. <br />
*Section 2 of the screen inside the <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span> box is for miscellaneous statistics. It is an indicator, which shows the user the activity with the module or function listed next to it. <br />
*Section 3 of the screen inside the <span style="color:yellow">'''yellow'''</span> box contain miscellaneous controls. <br />
*Section 4 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#b5d59e">'''green'''</span> box is for LRU Control. It handles the "L", "R", and "U" links for communication with other systems. <br />
*Section 5 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#4188ca">'''blue'''</span> box is for trigger selections.<br />
*Section 6 of the screen inside the <span style="color:purple">'''purple'''</span> box is for propagation frames. Master triggers may be connected to other Master Triggers via a 1Gbit/sec cable, allowing them to broadcast their TTCL link (clock, timestamp, trigger accepts, etc.) to each other. When connected this way the receiving master trigger has registers known as the propagation control registers that allow them to select what parts of the other trigger’s TTCL they will listen to. If the receiving master is receiving information over link L, then the F1 bit in the link L propagation control register allows this master trigger to use the clock of the other master trigger as it’s clock just like is done within a local system, causing two disparate systems to be synchronized.If other propagation control bits are set then the related subclass of trigger accept messages from the remote master trigger may be propagated into the local system as additional trigger accepts beyond those calculated locally. <br />
*Section 7 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#C678DD">'''pink'''</span> box is for input link masks and output control. Trigger modules have a mix of front panel I/O connections to allow users to attach external cabling. The most heavily used of these are the NIM I/O connections. NIM stands for Nuclear Instrumentation module. There are two NIM outputs and two NIM inputs. The two NIM outputs have many different choices of what signals are driven out, controlled by the Output Control selections. The two NIM inputs have variant function dependent upon the needs of the user. NIM input 1 can be used as an Auxiliary trigger input signal, that may be used to cause a trigger accept message. NIM input 2 can be used either as a trigger Veto input, that may be used to veto issuance of trigger accept messages or may alternately be used as the RF Clock input for the master trigger’s time-to-digital converter (TDC) function. <br />

If the receiving master is receiving information over link L, then the F1 bit in the link L propagation control register allows this master trigger to use the clock of the other master trigger as it’s clock just like is done within a local system, causing two disparate systems to be synchronized.If other propagation control bits are set then the related subclass of trigger accept messages from the remote master trigger may be propagated into the local system as additional trigger accepts beyond those calculated locally. <br />
*Section 7 of the screen inside the <span style="color:pink">'''pink'''</span> box is for input link masks and output control. Trigger modules have a mix of front panel I/O connections to allow users to attach external cabling. The most heavily used of these are the NIM I/O connections. NIM stands for Nuclear Instrumentation module. There are two NIM outputs and two NIM inputs.

<hr />
<div>The global control screen allows a user to set control values that are written to all the digitizers in Gammasphere's [[DAQ system]] - in other words, it allows a user to specify the parameters of their desired [[Gammasphere Waveform Buffers|waveform]]. <br />
* Section 1 of the screen inside the <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> rectangle has four columns, each of which represent the different signals sent from detectors. The user sets these parameters so the time values can determine which signal shapes should be saved as waveform data, and how much of it should be saved. The threshold, PARST delay and CFD fraction are used to select how sensitive the digitizer is to the amplitude of the expected signals. Once all the values in the red section 1 are set, the user has to send a "load delays" command (the green button), which restarts the firmware and processes the data with the newly set values. <br />
* Section 2 of the screen inside the <span style="color:green">'''green'''</span> rectangle allows the user to set operational parameters for all the signals. The TrigMode, MinCompWin and MaxCompWin controls are the most commonly modified controls in this region. The TrigMode enables or disables the use of the trigger system to select specific events. TrigMode has two modes: IntAcptAll and TTCL. In the IntAcptAll mode, every AcceptedHit will get read out. In the TTCL mode, only the subset of AcceptedHits that meet the selection criteria of the trigger are read out. When this is selected, the MinCompWin and MaxCompWin controls select the time window relative to the timestamp contained within the Trigger Accept message during which events will be marked for readout. These timing values are related to the values of the [[Gammasphere Waveform Buffers|“M Window”, “K0 window” and “K window”]]. The green parameters act immediately upon the user setting a new value (no “Load Delays” is required like in Section 1). <br />
* Section 3 of the screen inside the <span style="color:blue">'''blue'''</span> rectangle encloses a separate set of controls that, like the red and green areas, control) how the digitizer channels process the analog data. These controls, however, are focused upon generic parameters that would apply to any signal as opposed to the other control parameters used to tune the response to specific timings and signal shapes. <br />
* Section 4 of the screen inside the <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span> rectangle has to do with how the digitizer sends data to the [[Triggers|trigger system]] and how the [[Digitizers|digitizer]] responds to the trigger system. Under normal circumstances the average user will never change these controls, the only exception is situations where setups are being used when only “clean” (non-scattered) gamma-ray hits should ever be read out. In this case the “EN VETO” box would be checked to allow the trigger system to automatically strip all “dirty” hits from the GeCenter/BGOsum channel pair before they can be selected for readout.<br />
* Section 5 inside the <span style="color:yellow">'''yellow'''</span> rectangle is used to control special operational modes of the digitizer channels, generally referred to as the “external discriminator”. The normal setting is “Disc ONLY” in which case the discriminator logic of each channel marks ‘hits’ only when edges of the input analog signal are found. The other settings allow selection of signals outside the channel (hence the name ‘external’) as an alternate source of the discriminator logic, and whether that external signal is ANDed, ORed, or used in place of the discriminator logic. The external discriminator modes are generally used only by experts to set up for unique situations, or to diagnose problems. Under normal experiment situations these controls are always set to “Disc ONLY”.<br />

<hr />
<div>The global control screen allows a user to set control values that are written to all the digitizers in Gammasphere's [[DAQ system]] - in other words, it allows a user to specify the parameters of their desired [[Gammasphere Waveform Buffers|waveform]]. <br />
* Section 1 of the screen inside the <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> rectangle has four columns, each of which represent the different signals sent from detectors. The user sets these parameters so the time values can determine which signal shapes should be saved as waveform data, and how much of it should be saved. The threshold, PARST delay and CFD fraction are used to select how sensitive the digitizer is to the amplitude of the expected signals. Once all the values in the red section 1 are set, the user has to send a "load delays" command (the green button), which restarts the firmware and processes the data with the newly set values. <br />
* Section 2 of the screen inside the <span style="color:green">'''green'''</span> rectangle allows the user to set operational parameters for all the signals. The TrigMode, MinCompWin and MaxCompWin controls are the most commonly modified controls in this region. The TrigMode enables or disables the use of the trigger system to select specific events. TrigMode has two modes: IntAcptAll and TTCL. In the IntAcptAll mode, every AcceptedHit will get read out. In the TTCL mode, only the subset of AcceptedHits that meet the selection criteria of the trigger are read out. When this is selected, the MinCompWin and MaxCompWin controls select the time window relative to the timestamp contained within the Trigger Accept message during which events will be marked for readout. These timing values are related to the values of the [[Gammasphere Waveform Buffers|“M Window”, “K0 window” and “K window”]]. The green parameters act immediately upon the user setting a new value (no “Load Delays” is required like in Section 1). <br />
* Section 3 of the screen inside the <span style="color:#F5FCFF">'''blue'''</span> rectangle encloses a separate set of controls that, like the red and green areas, control) how the digitizer channels process the analog data. These controls, however, are focused upon generic parameters that would apply to any signal as opposed to the other control parameters used to tune the response to specific timings and signal shapes. <br />
* Section 4 of the screen inside the <span style="color:orange">'''orange'''</span> rectangle has to do with how the digitizer sends data to the [[Triggers|trigger system]] and how the [[Digitizers|digitizer]] responds to the trigger system. Under normal circumstances the average user will never change these controls, the only exception is situations where setups are being used when only “clean” (non-scattered) gamma-ray hits should ever be read out. In this case the “EN VETO” box would be checked to allow the trigger system to automatically strip all “dirty” hits from the GeCenter/BGOsum channel pair before they can be selected for readout.<br />
* Section 5 inside the <span style="color:yellow">'''yellow'''</span> rectangle is used to control special operational modes of the digitizer channels, generally referred to as the “external discriminator”. The normal setting is “Disc ONLY” in which case the discriminator logic of each channel marks ‘hits’ only when edges of the input analog signal are found. The other settings allow selection of signals outside the channel (hence the name ‘external’) as an alternate source of the discriminator logic, and whether that external signal is ANDed, ORed, or used in place of the discriminator logic. The external discriminator modes are generally used only by experts to set up for unique situations, or to diagnose problems. Under normal experiment situations these controls are always set to “Disc ONLY”.<br />

<div>This screen gives controls and monitoring for the Master [[Triggers|trigger]] of the [[DAQ system]]. The master trigger implements 11 bi-directional communications links. Each link (named A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,R,U) is capable of transmitting data at 1Gbit/sec while simultaneously receiving data at 1Gbit/sec. The system connectivity is hierarchical. The master trigger communicates with router trigger modules within its detector system via links A-H, a master trigger module of another detector system via either link L or link R, and a MyRIAD module of another detector system via link U. The master trigger continuously transmits information to every module. <br />
*Section 1 of the screen inside <span style="color:red">'''red'''</span> box is for LED Control. <br />
*Section 2 of the screen inside '''orange''' box is for miscellaneous statistics. It is an indicator, which shows the user the activity with the module or function listed next to it. <br />
*Section 3 of the screen inside '''yellow''' box contain miscellaneous controls. <br />
*Section 4 of the screen inside '''green''' box is for LRU Control. It handles the "L", "R", and "U" links for communication with other systems. <br />
*Section 5 of the screen inside '''blue''' box is for trigger selections.<br />
*Section 6 of the screen inside '''purple''' box is for propagation frames.<br />
*Section 7 of the screen inside '''pink''' box is for input link masks and output control. Trigger modules have a mix of front panel I/O connections to allow users to attach external cabling. The most heavily used of these are the NIM I/O connections. NIM stands for Nuclear Instrumentation module. There are two NIM outputs and two NIM inputs. The two NIM outputs have many different choices of what signals are driven out, controlled by the Output Control selections. The two NIM inputs have variant function dependent upon the needs of the user. NIM input 1 can be used as an Auxiliary trigger input signal, that may be used to cause a trigger accept message. NIM input 2 can be used either as a trigger Veto input, that may be used to veto issuance of trigger accept messages or may alternately be used as the RF Clock input for the master trigger’s time-to-digital converter (TDC) function. <br />
*Section 8 of the screen inside '''gold''' box is for trigger rates. They show the raw data the trigger recieves, and, based on user input, the amount of veto-able data. <br />
*Section 9 of the screen inside '''gray''' box is for veto selects.<br />

<div>This screen gives controls and monitoring for the Master [[Triggers|trigger]] of the [[DAQ system]]. The master trigger implements 11 bi-directional communications links. Each link (named A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,L,R,U) is capable of transmitting data at 1Gbit/sec while simultaneously receiving data at 1Gbit/sec. The system connectivity is hierarchical. The master trigger communicates with router trigger modules within its detector system via links A-H, a master trigger module of another detector system via either link L or link R, and a MyRIAD module of another detector system via link U. The master trigger continuously transmits information to every module. <br />
*Section 1 of the screen inside '''red''' box is for LED Control. <br />
*Section 2 of the screen inside '''orange''' box is for miscellaneous statistics.<br />
*Section 3 of the screen inside '''yellow''' box contain miscellaneous controls. <br />
*Section 4 of the screen inside '''green''' box is for LRU Control. It handles the "L", "R", and "U" links for communication with other systems. <br />
*Section 5 of the screen inside '''blue''' box is for trigger selections.<br />
*Section 6 of the screen inside '''purple''' box is for propgation frames.<br />
