   * There are three electronic "sources" with time information for ToF calculation: Tennelec TACs, Phillips TDC, and Mesytec MTDC.    * There are three electronic "sources" with time information for ToF calculation: Tennelec TACs, Phillips TDC, and Mesytec MTDC. 
   * Although the ToF reference ("start") in all the ToF modules is given by the FP scintillator E1 up, the electronic path from the detector to each module is different (see {{:wiki:s800electronicstschematics-to20150907.pdf|main electronics diagram}} for more details)   * Although the ToF reference ("start") in all the ToF modules is given by the FP scintillator E1 up, the electronic path from the detector to each module is different (see {{:wiki:s800electronicstschematics-to20150907.pdf|main electronics diagram}} for more details)

       * The TDC start is sent from the ULM trigger module. Since the delay of the S800 trigger may be adjusted during XDT, the stop signals (e.g. from OBJ or XFP) will need to be re-adjusted.       * The TDC start is sent from the ULM trigger module.
