Description

The AIDA trigger logic unit and EUDAQ2 provide a common infrastructure platform to integrate a large variety of devices with the EUDET-type reference telescopes at test beams. Since test-beam time is always limited, users rely on a stable and common interface for their devices. The tutorial will provide a solid basis to optimally prepare your next successful test beam campaign.

The tutorial is split into three parts:

In the beginning, the software framework is introduced and the basic principles of software integration are discussed, along with the basic principles of data storage. Afterwards, all required software will be installed.

In the second step, we will discuss the functionality of the trigger logic unit and demonstrate its functionality:

  • How can the readout be triggered
  • Modes of communication with user devices
  • Realization of the interplay between soft and hardware

Finally, we will connect two scintillators/PMTs to trigger on cosmic particles and demonstrate the impact of the modes on the trigger rates, DUTs based on a raspberry Pi.

A repository with all required scripts, libraries etc will be provided beforehand
