 ====== Focus Mode ====== ====== Focus Mode ======
 For most of the experiments in the S800, the analysis line is run in focus mode. In this optics, the analysis line is achromatic, i.e. the dispersive position of the beam focused in the target area (pivot point) does not depend on the momentum. Thus, this mode provides the biggest momentum acceptance (4%). On the other hand, since the spectrograph focal plane is chromatic, the resolution is limited to about 1 part in 1000 in energy. For most of the experiments in the S800, the analysis line is run in focus mode.

 In the first part of the XDT, the rigidity of the S800 is typically set to match the value of the fragment beam (selected in the A1900) after passing through the S800 target. This is where the term "unreacted beam" comes from. In the first part of the XDT, the rigidity of the S800 is typically set to match the value of the fragment beam (selected in the A1900) after passing through the S800 target.

       * 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.
