 +====== Detailed description of each packet tag ======
 +
 +This section gives details on how to unpack the data associated with each packet tag. The format of the data for each packet tag is frozen as of version 4 of the S800 data format. Further modifications to data associated with a particular detector will result in a new packet tag being defined. Please see the [[S800 data format#Versioning system|versioning system]] section for more details.
 +
 +===== S800_PACKET =====
 +
 +This is the outermost packet tag that wraps the entire physics event. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + S800_VERSION subpackets...
 +</code>
 +
 +There are two subpackets that are guaranteed to exist in the data stream. The first subpacket will always be the S800_TIMESTAMP_PACKET. This will be followed by the S800_EVENT_NUMBER_PACKET. Following packets will only be present if there is data to fill them.
 +
 +===== S800_TIMESTAMP_PACKET =====
 +
 +A 64 bit timestamp read from a Jtec XLM74 universal logic module. Written as four consecutive words. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xaaaa 0xcccc 0xbbbb 0xdddd 
 +</code>
 +
 +where a are bits 15-0, b are bits 31-16, c are bits 47-32 and d are bits 63-48 of the 64 bit timestamp word.
 +
 +The clock is 10MHz, which means that it will wrap around after approximately 800 years.
 +
 +
 +===== S800_EVENT_NUMBER_PACKET =====
 +
 +A 48 bit trigger/event number read from the Weiner VM/CC-USB readout modules. This is incremented each time there is a valid S800 trigger. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xaaaa 0xbbbb 0xcccc 
 +</code>
 +
 +where a are bits 15-0, b are bits 31-16 and c are bits 47-32 of the 48 bit trigger/event number word. At a trigger rate of 1.5 kHz this number will wrap around after approximately 6000 years.
 +
 +
 +===== S800_TRIGGER_PACKET =====
 +
 +Data read from the Lecroy 2367 ULM module and a Phillips 7186H TDC. One trigger pattern followed by up to four times. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xpppp 0xcttt 0xcttt ...
 +</code>
 +
 +where p is the trigger pattern, c is the channel within the TDC and t the data.
 +
 +^ Time data^ TDC Channel|

 +
 +===== S800_TOF_PACKET =====

 +
 +===== S800_SCINT_PACKET =====
 +
 +Energies and times of the focal plane scintillator, read from a Lecroy 4300B FERA and a Phillips 7186H TDC. A non-zero energy generates an energy and time pair. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xceee 0xcttt ...

 +|E1 Up|0|
 +|E1 Down|1|

 +
 +
 +===== S800_FP_IC_PACKET =====
 +
 +Zero suppressed energies from the ionization chamber, read from a Phillips 7164 ADC. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xceee ...
 +</code>
 +
 +===== S800_FP_CRDC_PACKET =====
 +
 +Data from the two S800 CRDCs in the form of digitized waveform samples read from the Jtec XLM72V ULM, and anode energies and times read from a Phillips 7164 ADC. These packet data contain sub packets. The S800_FP_CRDC_RAW_PACKET contains the waveform samples and the S800_FP_CRDC_ANODE_PACKET contains the energies and times. Each CRDC is read out sequentially and it's data preceded by an id word. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0x000i subpackets ...
 +</code>
 +
 +where i is the id number (0 or 1).
 +
 +
 +==== S800_FP_CRDC_RAW_PACKET ====
 +
 +Sub packet of [[S800 version 0x0005#S800_FP_CRDC_PACKET|S800_FP_CRDC_PACKET]] giving waveform data. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xtttt waveform data ...
 +</code>
 +
 +where t is the threshold. The waveform data is written using two consecutive words per sample, to be upacked from the following format (binary representation):
 +
 +<code>
 + word 1: hsss ssss sscc cccc
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 + word 2: 0000 nndd dddd dddd
 +</code>
 +
 +where h is the header bit, which should always be 1 for valid CRDC data;
 +
 +s are the 9 bits of the sample number (maximum number of samples is 512);
 +
 +c are the 6 bits of the channel number;
 +
 +n are the 2 bits of the connector number;
 +
 +d are the 10 bits of data.
 +
 +==== S800_FP_CRDC_ANODE_PACKET ====
 +
 +Sub packet of [[S800 version 0x0005#S800_FP_CRDC_PACKET|S800_FP_CRDC_PACKET]] giving energies and times of the CRDCs. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xeeee 0xtttt
 +</code>
 +
 +===== S800_FP_HODO_PACKET =====
 +
 +Up to 32 Hodoscope energies read from Phillips 7164 ADCs, read in sparse mode, hit patterns read from a LeCroy 4448 Coincidence register, and a time value read from an Ortec 566 TAC via a Phillips 7164 ADC. The type of data to extract is determined from the first word of the packet, the id word. The first 16 energies are associated with id = 0, the second 16 with id = 1 and the hit patterns and time with id = 2. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + (id = 0,1) 0x000i 0xceee ...
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 + (id = 2) 0x000i 0xaaaa 0xbbbb 0xtttt
 +</code>
 +
 +where i is the id, a is the coincidence register A for the first 16 channels, b the register for the second 16 channels and t the TAC time.
 +
 +===== S800_II_TRACK_PACKET =====
 +
 +Data from the intermediate image tracking PPAC read from a Jtec XLM72V universal logic module in the form of waveform samples. The S800_II_TRACK_PACKET contains no data and is solely a wrapper for the S800_II_TRACK_RAW_PACKET sub packet.
 +
 +==== S800_II_TRACK_RAW_PACKET ====
 +
 +Sub packet of [[S800 version 0x0005#S800_II_TRACK_PACKET|S800_II_TRACK_PACKET]] giving waveform data. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xtttt waveform data ...
 +</code>
 +
 +where t is the threshold. The waveform data is written using two consecutive words per sample, to be upacked from the following format (binary representation):
 +
 +<code>
 + word 1: hsss ssss sscc cccc
 +</code>
 +
 +<code>
 + word 2: 0000 nndd dddd dddd
 +</code>
 +
 +where h is the header bit, which should always be 1 for valid PPAC data;
 +
 +s are the 9 bits of the sample number (maximum number of samples is 512);
 +
 +c are the 6 bits of the channel number;
 +
 +n are the 2 bits of the connector number;
 +
 +d are the 10 bits of data.
 +
 +
 +===== S800_OB_PIN_PACKET =====
 +
 +Energy from the object box PIN detector, read out from a Phillips 7164 ADC. Format:
 +
 +<code>
 + 0xceee
 +</code>
 +
 +
 +===== S800_VME_ADC_PACKET =====
 +
 +Mesytec 32 channel ADC installed in the main VME crate. Conversion is up to 13 bits.
 +
 +<code>
 + 0x000i data...
 +</code>
 +
 +where i is the id, and four id groups are in the data stream. Information from channels 0-7 is in id 0, 8-15 in id 1, 16-23 in id 2 and 24-32 in id 3. Not all channels may be present. By checking the length word before each packet tag, and unpacking the data word, the non-zero channels can be extracted. The data word format:
 +
 +<code>
 + ccce eeee eeee eeee
 +</code>
 +
 +where c is the channel within this id (referred to as read_channel). The true adc channel number can be obtained by calculating (id * 8)+read_channel. e is the energy (11-13 bits dependent upon adc setting).
