SVT TASK LIST

01. (Un-Ki) Install TF's and cables

02. Ghost track remover board?

• Do we need special hardware?

03. (Simone) XTFA-XTFB

• Test prototypes
• Build, test, install production boards

04. (?) Integration with XTRP and Level2

• Need person to keep in touch with relevant parties and provide help if needed

05. (Stefano) Low level VME code

• Implement and maintain a standard library of VME functions for each board
• needs help from board designers

06. (Giovanni) User-friendly generation of high level geometry files

• Provision for a standard set of parameters/variants
• enable/disable specific layers
• include/exclude COT
• 4/4 - 4/5 - 4* - ...

07. (Bill) Cold start from high level geometry files

• Define interaction with online database(s)
• Translate to low-level data formats
• Define and implement "start of shot" procedure
• Implement real time correction of fit constants for actual beam position
• Hot channels: define, suppress, log

08. (Marco&Subir) SPYMON

• Debug and remove FER interference
• Specify and implement histograms/tables (excluding low-level simulation)
• Specify and implement error reporting/recovery

09. (Bill) SVTSIM

• Validate and bless Unix implementation in ANSI C
• Integrate into TRGSIM
• Integrate into SPYMON
• AC++ module for trigger validation (starting from SVX and XFT data banks)
• Investigate possibility of porting to VxWorks

10. (Roberto) Offline basic tools + Trigmon

• Specify SVTD (+variants?)
• Bank unpacking
• Bank dump
• Specify and implement histograms/tables/messages
• Specify and implement error reporting/recovery

11. (Henry) Event display

12. (Alexei) Test stand

• Acquire, commission, document

13. (Luciano) Beam position feedback

• Fast beam position
• Beam spot parameters to ACNET
• Interface to database?
• Real time beam position correction?

14. (Un-Ki) Whole SVT test with fake injected data

• From HF input Spy Buffers? (or FIBs?)
• Implement two modes:
1. Standard "fake" geometry (a la random_test for checking the hardware)
2. Current latest geometry (consistency check of cold start data and procedure)

15. (Anna Maria) XTFC

• Test prototype
• Build, test, install production boards

16. (Luciano) Board documentation

• Setup and maintain web site for board documentation
• Schematics
• Layout
• Artwork
• Part list
• Firmware (including source code)
• Road map for diagnostic/readout code

17. (Subir) Common GUI for simple board functions

18. (Franco) Common GUI for "in situ" single board diagnostics

• Single board must be tested without moving cables or switches
• Typically a simple go/nogo response is required
• Additional expert info possibly output to logfiles
• Needs work by individual board designers

19. (?) Implement VRB readout + diagnostics

• Investigate compatibility with SPYMON
• Define use in normal/diagnostic run modes
• Specify SVTY (+variants?)
• Specify and implement analysis package

20. (?) Off-line high level tools

• Plots of physics quantities (J/Psi, Upsilon, Z, W,...)
• Efficiency (vs. L3 tracking of J/Psi?)

21. (?) Plan for long term maintenance

• Spare parts, procedures..

22. (?) Level 3 algorithms

23. (?) Documentation

• 1 CDFnote/board
• NIM papers
