+ | ==== 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 ^^^^^^^^^^^| | ||

+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
