-====== Event Filter (S800 Filter) ======+====== S800 data format from Event Filter (S800 Filter) ====== 
 +The purpose of the S800 filter is to parse data from the S800 Event Builder, and reformat them in separated data packets, with an [[#General packet structure|specific structure]]. 
 + 
 + 
 +Data from the S800 filter are encapsulated as Ring Items (RI) and, as such, will include a [[http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/newsite/nscldaq-11.2/c185.html|Ring-Item Header]], a [[http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/newsite/nscldaq-11.2/x214.html|Body Header]], and a Body, where the real parsed data are included. Ring Items emitted from the S800 filter are pushed into a [[http://docs.nscl.msu.edu/daq/newsite/nscldaq-11.2/c43.html|Ring-Buffer]] called **s800filter**. 
 + 
 + 
 +This page describes the data format assembled in the __Body__ of the S800 Filter RI. The data is written in a series of 16-bit unsigned integers, subsequently referred to as ''words''. Regardless of what modules are being read, the Body of the S800 Filter RI will always include four 16-bit words, followed by a series of [[#General packet structure|data packets]]. The structure of the whole Body is described in the diagram below: 
 + 
 + 
 + 
 +^ Body Length 1 ^ Body Length 2 ^ S800 Data Tag ^ S800 Data Version ^ Data Packet 1 ^ Data Packet 2 ^ ... | 
 + 
 +  * **Body Length 1**: Number of words in body (self inclusive) 
 +  * **Body Length 2**: Number of words in body - 1 (self-inclusive) 
 +  * **S800 Data Tag**: 0x5800 
 +  * **S800 Data Version**: 0x0005 
 +  
 + 
 +===== General packet structure ===== 
 +All data is written using the concept of "packets". The format of a packet is: 
 + 
 +^ Length ^ Packet Tag ^ Packet Data | 
 + 
 +Length: a count of the number of words in the packet, inclusive of the length word itself 
 + 
 +Packet Tag: a predefined integer indicating the type of data found in the Packet Data 
 + 
 +Packet Data: the data themselves. These can be data read from the modules or a sub packet. Sub packets have identical structure to main packets. Using this format all data can be placed in nested packets, and coding decisions on how to unpack the Packet Data can be made by examination of the preceding Packet Tag. Packets (including sub packets) can also be skipped by jumping ahead Length words in the buffer. 
  
-The trigger bits words indicates which bits were set during the event. The encoding of the bits is the following: 
  
 In this section, each 16-bit word sent by the Filter is described by a 16x3-table diagram. The first row includes the value, either in decimal or hexadecimal format, or a descriptive note. The second row shows the value in binary ("X"s are used to describe arbitrary values that vary from event to event). The last row shows the bit number.  In this section, each 16-bit word sent by the Filter is described by a 16x3-table diagram.

 +  * **Time values** 
 +The time information for each of the five detector channel is coded in words that look like:
  
 ^  ^^^ Ch ^  time  ^^^^^^^^^^^| ^  ^^^ Ch ^  time  ^^^^^^^^^^^|
Line 652: Line 755:
 | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | | 15 | 14 | 13 | 12 | 11 | 10 | 9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
  
-Up to eight of these words can be present (depending on wheter **time** is greater than 0): six from the Phillips TDC, and two from the XFP-FP and OBJ-FP TACs. The channel number Ch is given by:+Where **Ch** runs from 0 to 3. These words are sent by the Filter as long as **time** is greater than 0. 
  
-^ Ch ^ Source  | 
-| 6 | Phillips TDC time from the A1900 IM2 north scintillator (optional)  | 
-| 7 | Phillips TDC time from the A1900 IM2 south scintillator (optional)  |  
-| 12 | Phillips TDC time from the RF    | 
-| 13 | Phillips TDC time from the OBJ scintillator  |   
-| 14 | Phillips TDC time from the XFP scintillator  |   
-| 15 | Phillips TDC time from the LaBr (optional)  |   
-| 4 | XFP-FP time-of-flight from TAC  |  
-| 5 | OBJ-FP time-of-flight from TAC  |  
  
  
-Note that the time values from the Phillips TDC are subtracted by SpecTcl to the time from the S800 trigger E1 up (encoded in the [[#trigger packet|trigger packet]]) in order to calculate the corresponding time-of-flight. On the other hand, the times from the TACs (Ch 4 and 5) correspond to actual time-of-flight values.  
  
 +===== LaBr packet =====
 +The LaBr packet includes the energy (encoded in the [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x4300: FERA module for plastic scintillator energies|FERA LeCroy module]]) and times (encoded in a Phillips TDC) from up to four LaBr detectors.
 +Note that although there is a specific EVB tag for that Phillips TDC (0x7187), this module is currently not included in the S800 electronics. As a result, the data packet is empty (i.e. it only includes the packet-length and packet tag).

 +===== Mesytec TDC (MTDC) packet =====
 +The MTDC packet includes the multiple timing values [[S800 USB DAQ data format#Tag 0x0DDC: Mesytec MTDC-32 module |encoded in the Mesytec MTDC]]. The packet looks like:

 +  * **Time values**
 +Every time value encoded in the MTDC is sent by the Filter as a series of two 16-bit words: the first one provides information about the MTDC channel and the hit number; the second one gives the time value for that channel-hit. In the current version (Oct. 2015), the Filter processes up to 32 hits per channel. This value can be increased if necessary.
