Subject: [ Info ] What does the System Wide Clock check mean when it fails. 

The System Wide check called "Check Clock Status"  reads the status register from the FEE64 units in the system and compares the value of each bit against a template depending if the FEE64 is Master or not.

The bit fields have the following meaning :-

  1. clkd_ld1_pin. This is the "locked" status of the PLL in clock distribution chip LMK03200 #1. The clocks are used for the Waveform ADCs. ADCs 1 to 4 and FPGA Waveform decode logic.
  2. clkd_ld2_pin. This is the "locked" status of the PLL in clock distribution chip LMK03200 #2. The clocks are used for the Waveform ADCs. ADCs 5 to 8 and the Master SYNC PLL in the FPGA.
  3. aq_clock_locked. This is the "locked" status of the PLL in the FPGA. The clock is used for all data aquisition functions. If this isn't true ('1') then the module is not going to work as part of the system.
  4. sync_locked. This is the "locked" status of the PLL in the FPGA which provides a 200MHz clock to the SYNC pulse alignement logic. This is only used in the Master.
  5. to 31 read as '0' 

The System Wide Check will only report the state of bits 0 to 2 but by opening the "Local Controls" browser window the status value can be seen ( after a reload ) at offset 1.
