| This window appears when the "Init" button is pressed on the VME crate controller tab as part of the initial setup of the [[s800 daq tools#run control window|S800 USB daq]]. It can also be accessed by pressing the "Show GUIs" button. The delay module allows software configurable delays to be applied to each of the signals indicated in the Channel column, which then form the TDC stops. It is configurable to enable delays to be set with beam on target, as the needed delay may change depending on experimental conditions. There are four "Delay Inspect" channels which are routed to the patch panel in data-U6. These signals can be compared with any one of the four "Trigger Inspect" channels in order to set proper delays for the TDCs. | This window appears when the "Init" button is pressed on the VME crate controller tab as part of the initial setup of the [[s800 daq tools#run control window|S800 USB daq]].

| | Some important things to remember: |
| | |
| | * There are four "Delay Inspect" channels (routed to the patch panel in data U6) which can be selected using the Delay GUI |
| | * These "Delay Inspect" signals can be compared with any one of the four "Trigger Inspect" channels in order to set proper delays for the TDCs. The "Trigger Inspect" channels can be selected using the [[S800 DAQ tools#Trigger GUI|ULM trigger GUI]] |
| |
| | * Information |
| | * The signal delays controlled by the GUI (and not by cable delays) are not “pipelined” -– i.e., any new signals that arrive during the delay time of a previous signal are lost and thus deadtime is introduced into the system. The signals delayed passively by cables are “pipelined” and thus are not subject to deadtime losses |
| | * All of the trigger signals are not pipelined and are thus subject to deadtime |

| ==== Scaler Display ==== | ==== Scaler Display ==== |
| | The GUI used to display scalers rates can be open from the icon **S800 Scalers** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]]. The GUI includes two pages labeled "s800" and "ratios". Page "s800" includes all the scaler channels; page "ratios" displays ratio values calculated between several pairs of channels. In addition, the GUI includes a panel showing the time evolution of the live time calculated from the live-to-raw trigger ratio, and the live-to-raw clock ratio. The figure below shows the page "ratios" from the scaler GUI. |

| The S800 scaler display is obtained by clicking the icon **S800 Scalers** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]]. | {{:wiki:Scalers.jpg?700|Scaler Display}} |
