The MEGA Data Acquisition System

An engineering run with a partial detector is scheduled for Fall of 1987. The run will test the response of Phillips TDCs and nonsparse latches, the performance of SEs and SIs, and the data path from Fastbus through the ACP system to the MicroVAX II. Debugging of the GPM and FBBC is currently in pro...

Description
Summary:	An engineering run with a partial detector is scheduled for Fall of 1987. The run will test the response of Phillips TDCs and nonsparse latches, the performance of SEs and SIs, and the data path from Fastbus through the ACP system to the MicroVAX II. Debugging of the GPM and FBBC is currently in progress. Software development for the GPM, ACP nodes, and MicroVAX II host is in progress and will be ready for use by the Fall run. Production data taking will start in late 1988.
