The charge Define the DAQ for read-out and control of the CMOS submissions Identify the required resources for the CMOS specific developments including PCBs and firmware Identify who will do the work Define deliverables and milestones for the first year of the programme Establish email list 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Initial Proposal Short timescale - use existing systems and expertise This isn't the time to “evolve” the DAQ Consider this as part of ITk Strips Add to the existing system Newer hardware (e.g. HSIO2, USBpix3) not preferred Firmware development work required Additional hardware required Developing new systems (e.g. analogue readout) best avoided Rather ask others to do some testing (Alibava, USBPix/RCE) 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Baseline system HSIO/SCTDAQ New devices and interfaces will be incorporated ABC based readout naturally fits Pixel FE-In based “sensors” would be dealt with by existing pixel systems A more difficult option Could be a different sub-group of people 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Object/Readout Options This list very much depends on what is being made We will try to have the required systems in place Will need input from sensor groups A non-exhaustive list: Small objects (diode), <5 channel – scope (not DAQ) Basic logic – expand HSIO/SCTDAQ to handle custom format ABC based – existing HSIO/SCTDAQ FE-In based – existing USBpix/RCE Pure analogue, >4 channel – Alibava (where it’s possible) 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

System Details SCTDAQ software HSIO hardware Currently used for all ABC130 readout HSIO hardware Well distributed and operational with ABC130 Lack of HSIO? Digilent Atlys option (next slide) Could replace HSIO in some non-CMOS cases (freeing up HSIOs) The DAQ groups will need to develop interface boards for HSIO, Atlys as needed 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Digilent Atlys Development Board www.digilentinc.com/atlys/ Low cost commercial development board (~£200) Already in use by Strips DAQ We use it as an ABC130 emulator Has standardised connector – “VMOD” Oxford have already made interface boards for strips designs Firmware work is an ongoing background task will push it toward the front Can be seen as a mini-HSIO 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Timeline/Deliverables Very closely linked to real objects, guessing: 2014 Atlys firmware for HSIO-like operation DAQ adaptations for simpler digital objects 2015 Prepare for ABC130-C Custom interface hardware 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Questions What firmware/software resources do you have to contribute? What Strips infrastructure do you already have Number of HSIOs? What other infrastucture do you have (that could be used for this task): USBpix, RCE, Alibava? How many CMOS test sites? What devices exactly? Readout interface/speed? How to handle analogue signals and multiplexing? 2014-May-15 CMOS Strips DAQ

Resources required Software and Firmware Hardware Develop control and decode structure for new devices Part of current DAQ ?? Develop for Atlys Hardware New interface boards for HSIO New interface boards for Atlys So far interest from: The usual ITk Strips DAQ suspects (incl.
