Overview

Before an EpixHR camera becomes available in hardware form, an emulator in SRCF is to be set up to develop and test the operation of all the components involved in the DAQ for this device.  This set-up would consist of:

  • 10 or 20 DRP nodes configured with the DrpTDet KCU firmware
    • The goal is to have each DRP handle 1 or 2 tiles/panels of the camera

  • The tdetsim sim_length parameter configured to produce a similar data volume as the real camera

  • Substituting real EpixHR2x2 data for the tdetsim data in the DRP's event() method
  • A DrpPython script to compress event data into 'FEX' contributions, while retaining a prescaled amount of the original 'raw' data

Method

Nodes drp-srcf-cmp033 - 42 were set aside for the EpixHR emulator.
