The function and setting of the AIDA discriminators is as follows:
LEC (20MeV FSR) MEC (1GeV FSR) HEC (20GeV FSR) Function
slow comparator 10keV/unit 500keV/unit n/a controls LEC/MEC ADC readout
fast comparator 100keV/unit 5MeV/unit 100MeV/unit controls LEC/MEC disc readout
controls HEC ADC readout
For example, a slow comparator setting of 0xa corresponds to a threshold of 100keV (LEC)
or 5MeV (MEC), and the default HEC fast comparator setting of 0x2 corresponds to 200MeV. |
