Cosmics (ACORDE) QUESTIONS  High Voltage –1400 – 2000V, 120 channels (=60 modules) –What type of power supplies: 1 CAEN SY1527 –Can the power supplies be placed in the counting room?: yes –What type of HV cable?: HV coaxial cable  Low Voltage NO  Crate/Equipment Control (?) –Is there any equipment to be controlled/monitored (e.g. VME crates)? YES, WE WILL HAVE ONE VME CRATE TO PLUG IN CRT electronicS modules TO MONITOR SCINTILLATOR COUNTER RATES and set Threshold values  Environment monitor: NO –Temperature (other than Front-End), humidity etc.  Any other system (calibration, alignment, …)?  NO
