-==== Intermediate-image PPACs packet ====
+==== Hodoscope packet ====
-The Filter provides a PPAC packet: 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.
+The Filter parses the [[Detectors#Hodoscope|Hodoscope]] information encoded in the two
+[[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x7165: Phillips 7164 ADC module for hodoscope energies 0 through 15|Phillips 7164 ADCs]] and re-formats the data in three packets, two with the energies of the two groups crystals (from 1 to 16 and from 17 to 32), and the third one with the hit pattern recorded in the [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x4448: LeCroy4448 coincidence register module for hodoscope hit pattern|LeCroy 4448 coincidence-register module]].

-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.
+The **connector** number is defined between 0 and 3, and it is related to the pad number (**pad**). The value 0 refers to the first 64 pads, and correspond to the strips in the dispersive direction of the first TPPAC. The value 1 is for pads between 63 and 127, and includes the strips in the non-dispersive direction of the first TPPAC. The value 2 corresponds to pads between 128 and 191, which are associated to the strips in the dispersive direction of the second TPPAC. Finally, the value 3 corresponds to pads between 191 to 256, and covers the strips in the non-dispersive direction of the second TPPAC.
+The value of **pad** is given by **index** + **connector** x 64, where **index** is depends on the value of **channel** and **connector** according to the table below, where the second column shows the index values for **connector**=0 or 2, and the third column corresponds to the index values for **connector**=1 or 3:

+Note that the time values from the Phillips TDC are subtracted by SpecTcl to the time from the S800 trigger E1 up (encoded in the [[#trigger packet|trigger packet]]) in order to calculate the corresponding time-of-flight.
