In addition, scalers are connected to the raw and live trigger signals. For the determination of the dead time, both a free running and vetoed 10 kHz pulser signal are also connected to scalers. This is the preferred method because the pulser is not subject to possible double triggering effects like the raw trigger. | In addition, scalers are connected to the raw and live trigger signals.
