In the original configuration, there were 3 scintillators (E1, E2, and E3) which were later reduced to just one (E1) after the installation of the Hodoscope.

+==== CRDC packets ====
+The Filter provides two CRDC packets: one for [[Detectors|Cathode Readout Drift Chambers (CRDC)|CRDC1]] and one for [[Detectors|Cathode Readout Drift Chambers (CRDC)|CRDC2]]. Each CRDC packet is divided in two sub-packets: the "Raw" sub-packet with information about the pads energies (encoded in the [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0xCFDC: XLM72V crdc1 pad readout module|CRDCs XLM72 modules]]), and the "Anode" sub-packet with anode energy and time information encoded in the CRDCs [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x7167: Phillips 7164 ADC module for CRDC anodes (energies and TAC)|Phillips ADC]]. In the following, we describe the structure of the packet provided by the Filter for each CRDC.

+  * **Samples sub-packets**
+The Filter sends a series of sample sub-packets. Each sub-packet consists of two parts. The first part includes one 16-bit word with information about the **sample** and **channel** numbers:

+where **channel** is a number between 0 and 63, and refers to a group of four pads. The second part includes __up to four__ consecutive 16-bit words, each with a pad energy __greater than 0__:
+^  control bit  ^  empty  ^^^  connector  ^^  energy  ^^^^^^^^^|
+| 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X |

+The **connector** number is related to the pad number (**pad**) according to: **pad** = **channel** + **connector** x 64 (where **connector** ranges from 0 to 3, and **channel** is given by the first word of the sample sub-packet). Note that the Filter processes information from connectors with energies greater than 0.
