Description
A post-mortem timing event distributed by the LHC
machine timing system is used to freeze the PM buffers
of a large fraction of the LHC equipment. This event
must be generated automatically whenever the BIS is
issuing a beam dump request by changing the state of
the beam permit signal. This presentation outlines the
present ideas on how to generate the PM timing event.
The issue of PM event suppression in the case of single
beam dumps or special operation modes like 'inject and
dump' will be addressed.
