Electronics Integration Centre (904): Part 1 LIP
LIP
This session is devoted to the EIC. It will start with an "Overview of ECAL activities at EIC". After this overview, each electronic module (CCS, DCC, TCC) will present the hardware test and commissioning plans (including timetable if possible). It will also present the detailed list of auxiliary components needed: #crates, #bus adapters, PC's, etc.
Out of those lists we will elaborate a common list with the requirements in terms of auxiliary equipment.During this session there will be a presentation about the TTC hardware and software that will cover not only the EIC but also the rest of the experimental areas, Monitoring farm (laser and pedestals) and the final system.
The final part of the session will cover the software needs of EIC. Every module will present its debugging tools (TCC gui, DCC gui, etc) and its monitoring needs. Together we should agree/elaborate the needs for a common Run Control (if necessary).
The goal of the session is:
- elaborate a detailed commision planning;
- elaborate a common list of auxiliary equipment and define providers;
- define the TTC system to be used;
- define the source of trigger and xtal data;
- define the common Run Control if needed;
- identify problems and propose solutions.

CCS software requirementsCCS software requirements for EIC. CCS will present its debugging tools (CCS gui) and its monitoring needs. If common tools for System Test Control are needed, the CCS will present its interface to it. Together we should agree/elaborate the needs for a common tool for System Test Control (ECAL Supervisor and test control GUI).Speaker: Eugueni Vlassov (CERN)

DCC and SLB software requirementsDCC and SLB software requirements for EIC. DCC and SLB will present its debugging tools (ex. DCC gui) and its monitoring needs. If common tools for System Test Control are needed, the DCC/SLB will present its interface to it. Together we should agree/elaborate the needs for a common tool for System Test Control (ECAL Supervisor and test control GUI).Speaker: Nuno Almeida (LIP)

Databases: Part 1 LIP
LIP
The Database session will start with an introduction about the current status of the ECAL conditions database and how a novice user like us, can put and get data.
Then every electronic module will present its configuration database (status and prospects).
Since every module will use the Generic Device Configurator we could discuss new requirements from the users.
One important output we should expect from this session is the OD configuration tables or at least a first prototype to work on.
During this session we should also answer these two questions:
- which OD data will be in conditions database? and,
- Equipment Management DB, is everything we need there?

TCC Configuration and Conditions database
TCC will present its configuration database (status and prospects), and the requirements to the Generic Device Configurator, if any.
TCC should also answer the question: which TCC data will be in conditions database?

Software architecture (in view of the final system) LIP
LIP
DCC, TCC, CCS and SRP software architecture/integration.
The goal of this session will be to agree/define a software architecture for the final system. This architecture will be tested in H4 and magnet test in order to find weak points/problems to be solved for the final system.
-
17
ECAL Trigger and Readout software architecture/integration
A proposal for the software architecture of the final system will be presented. Then we will discuss if it is adequated and fulfills the needs of the different devices including SRP system (for which a dedicated talk is forseen to understand its requirements) and DCC- PreShower.
