 +==== Mesytec TDC (MTDC) packet ====
 +The MTDC packet includes the multiple timing values registered in each channel of the Mesytec MTDC for a given event. 
 +
 +all the timing values encoded in the [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x7186: Phillips 7186 TDC module for time-of-flights|Phillips TDC]] and the XFP-FP and OBJ-FP ToF from the ORTEC TACs encoded in the [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x7167: Phillips 7164 ADC module for CRDC anodes (energies and TAC)|S800 Phillips 7164H ADC]].

 +
 +  * **Time-of-flight values**
 +The time-of-flight information for each channel is coded in words that look like:
 +
 +^  ^^^ Ch ^  time  ^^^^^^^^^^^|
 +| 0 | 0 | 0 | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X | X |
 +| 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
 +
 +Up to eight of these words can be present (depending on wheter **time** is greater than 0): six from the Phillips TDC, and two from the XFP-FP and OBJ-FP TACs. The channel number Ch is given by:
 +
 +^ Ch ^ Source  |
 +| 6 | Phillips TDC time from the A1900 IM2 north scintillator (optional)  |
 +| 7 | Phillips TDC time from the A1900 IM2 south scintillator (optional) 
 +| 12 | Phillips TDC time from the RF    |
 +| 13 | Phillips TDC time from the OBJ scintillator  |  
 +| 14 | Phillips TDC time from the XFP scintillator  |  
 +| 15 | Phillips TDC time from the LaBr (optional)  |  
 +| 4 | XFP-FP time-of-flight from TAC  | 
 +| 5 | OBJ-FP time-of-flight from TAC  | 
 +
 +
 +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. On the other hand, the times from the TACs (Ch 4 and 5) correspond to actual time-of-flight values.
