Package EventFilter/CastorRawToDigi

CVS - Administrative privileges

Description

Unpacking module and classes for reading CASTOR raw data and converting it into digis. Essentially a copy of HcalRawToDigi by J.Mans.

For reference, the hardware is documentated at http://cmsdoc.cern.ch/cms/HCAL/document/. The information on the readout chain and electronics may be useful for understanding the unpacking code and functions.

Both of the unpackers require access to the CastorElectronicsMap which is accessed from the CastorDbService in the CastorDbRecord.

Public interface

• HcalDCCHeader : Interpret the raw HCAL data from the HCAL FED (DCC)
• HcalHTRData : Helper class for interpretation of sub-fragments from a single main FPGA on a HTR board

Modules

• CastorRawToDigi : Unpacker (RawToDigi) module for data taken in normal mode. Produces collections of CastorDataFrame.

Status and planned development

• CastorRawToDigi is complete and tested.
• Additional functions are expected for 2009 readout hardware.
