[Halld-tracking-hw] HVB - FINAL VERSION - and fADC

[Naomi Jarvis]

Hi Fernando and Gerard,

I have some results with cosmics and the new fADC online here: http://www.jlab.org/Hall-D/software/wiki/index.php/New_fADC_with_cosmics

This is still a work in progress, we can see (top row of histograms) that the gain in the new fADC is about 1/2 of that of the Struck fADC (&shaper).

Is it possible to change the full scale range of the new fADC?

>From previous work with the Struck fADCs, we know that the preamp output saturates at approx 0.5V (measured after the shaper), so we would only be using half the range of the ADC if we use the unmodified HVB.

We would like to put this on the agenda for the tracking meeting on Wednesday.

Naomi and Curtis.
