| The S800 electronics includes a Mesytec CFD (MCFD), used to "filter" the detector signals going to the Scaler and Mesytec TDC. The configuration parameters of the CFD (thresholds, delays, fraction, etc.) can be remotely adjusted via a MCFD GUI developed by the NSCL DAQ group. During tuning of the S800, one typically needs to adjust thresholds only. | The S800 electronics includes a Mesytec CFD (MCFD), used to "filter" the detector signals going to the Scaler and Mesytec TDC.

| The MCFD GUI can be started in three different ways: 1) by clicking the button ''Start MCFD'' in **ReadoutGUI**; 2) by clicking the icon **MCFD GUI** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]]; 3) by navigating in a Linux terminal and typing ''$DAQBIN/MCFDControl16 --protocol usb --serialfile /dev/ttyUSB0''. The environment variable DAQBIN is defined by sourcing the **daqsetup.bash** file in directory **/usr/opt/nscldaq/xxxx/bin**, where xxxx is the nscldaq version number (11.0-015 on Oct 26, 2015). | The MCFD GUI can be started in three different ways: 1) by clicking the button ''Launch MCFD GUI'' in **ReadoutGUI**; 2) by clicking the icon **MCFD GUI** in the desktop of [[Software#u6pc5 (data U6)|u6pc5]]; 3) by navigating in a Linux terminal and typing ''$DAQBIN/MCFDControl16 --protocol usb --serialfile /dev/ttyUSB0''.
