11.37 Attempt to use external 50MHz clock for Master MACB (w/ 50MHz front panel label)

NIM 50MHz -> NIM-TTL translator -> Master MACB (rear panel)

Master MACB mode 0 -> 5

Fails to ReSync, clock errors etc - see attachments 1-5

Change NIM 50MHz -> 25MHz (to improve signal quality) and attempt ReSync (no power FEE64 power cycle) - no
change

14.30 Master MACB mode -> 0

NIM 25MHz -> Master MACB correlation clock input (front panel)

BNC PB_4 frequency c. 26Hz
      Trigger output -> SCA -> LeCroy 429A -> Master MACB accepted trigger input

15.45 Master MACB mode 0 -> 5
      
      NIM 50MHz -> Phillips 726 NIM-TTL-NIM -> Master MACB external clock (rear panel)
      Phillips 726 provides better quality TTL signal with c. 3ns rise/falltimes and 3.5V amplitude into 50 Ohm
cf. NIM-TTL-NIM module used previously
      See http://www.phillipsscientific.com/pdf/726ds.pdf

RESET/SETUP DAQ OK

System-wide checks OK *except* nnaida19 fails ASIC timestamp check (no change)

Start test run R6_0 to disk but no AIDA issue correlation triggers are recorded

Can manually issue correlation triggers and resets via Correlation Status & Control tab

Observe statistics count 3x for each trigger and reset - see https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/362

*re-check*

Correlation trigger input OK, pulse width 500ns
External clock is 50MHz
MACB master mode 6

So ... correlation clock frequency is 25MHz and Correlation DAQ Accepted Trigger not working

18.30 Per PCS request

Master MACB clock output  25Mhz
                  reset output  not observed at DAQ GO as expected
