Detector Interface & ROD Working Groups |
Context |
The Detector Interface Group (DIG) was formed as an integral part of the Atlas DAQ prototype-1 project, in order to provide critical detector information necessary for the prototype design. Recently however, it has begun to take on a wider context as the need for a more general discussion and information exchange forum between detectors, LVL2, DAQ/EF and DCS has been acknowledged. In this context also, the ROD Working Group has also been formed with the specific aim of analysing common (largely hardware) issues between the detector ROD designers and the FE electronics group.
The DIG group is responsible for collating together detector parameters and requirements which are specifically relevant to the LVL2, DAQ/EF and DCS system designs. It is also the forum for discussing common issues relevant to the integration of the detector systems with the LVL2, DAQ/EF and DCS architectures.
This page collects together relevant information and documents.Any comments and suggestions are warmly welcomed !
Documentation |
This document contains a large amount of summarized information gathered from the detector groups in the various areas concerning interface with the T/DAQ system.
The questionnaire is addressed to all detector and physics groups. It asks various questions whose answers will help in complementing and completing the information in the summary document. It will also serve as a basis for discussion in the forthcoming DI meetings between individual detector groups and the LVL2, DAQ/EF and DCS groups (see below).
This document is edited by the TDAQ Steering Group and its contents have been approved by the ATLAS Executive Board. The original version (1.0) dates from January 1996, and the current version (2.0) was published in June 1998. It should be considered as essential reading for everyone working on the Trigger and DAQ aspects of detector design and construction. The T/DAQ design is proceeding on the basis of the definitions and rules contained in the document.
This note contains a first proposal for the ATLAS raw data format, and is the format which will be used in the DAQ/EF prototype-1. It covers the format of data from the input to the Read-Out Crates from the Read-Out Drivers, up to the input of the Event Filter.
This page contains the links to the submitted versions of the Technical Proposal.
Detector "ROD" Information |
Here, a list of links is given to the various web sites, maintained by the detectors, containing information on their individual ROD developments and associated topics.
"ROB" Developments |
This section contains links to information concerning various projects addressing the ROB

Given the large amount of information now collected together by the DI group, the next step is to refine and complete this information, and to begin to draw some useful conclusions from it. The questionnaire (html, postscript) is intended to be a tool to facilitate this task.
An initial series of meetings between individual detector groups and the LVL2, DAQ/EF and DCS groups will be organised. The primary aim of these meetings will be to review the currently available information on the detectors. First steps must also be taken in preparations for the integration of the detectors with the LVL2 Pilot Project, the DAQ/EF prototype-1 project and the DCS System. Detector groups are asked to prepare themselves for these meetings by reading the available documentation, and by composing answers to the questions appearing in the questionnaire.
