could you help me find this trigger_config access point?

The "and" in the trigger section means now "coincidence". So the V4 board can trigger on a coincidence between two or more channels. If there is no pulse at the same time on the coincidence channels, the board will of course not trigger. The according firmware was introduced in V4, so please look at drs4_eval4_app.vhd (not eval3).

I just realized that the V4 firmware might be missing in the distribution, so I have attached it here. Look for drs_ctl_trigger_config.

 

Best regards,

Stefan

 Ah, great, that helps, Thank you!

 

Hongwei

 By the way, will there be a drs4_eval4.vhd as well?

could you help me find this trigger_config access point?

The "and" in the trigger section means now "coincidence". So the V4 board can trigger on a coincidence between two or more channels. If there is no pulse at the same time on the coincidence channels, the board will of course not trigger. The according firmware was introduced in V4, so please look at drs4_eval4_app.vhd (not eval3).

I just realized that the V4 firmware might be missing in the distribution, so I have attached it here. Look for drs_ctl_trigger_config.

 

Best regards,

Stefan

 Ah, great, that helps, Thank you!

 

Hongwei

 By the way, will there be a drs4_eval4.vhd as well?

 Here it is.

 Thanks. have a good day

Hello, I'm using two DRS4 rev.5 boards for 8ch readout and triggering.

I needed to modify the trigger logic and implement some tweaks in the firmware, and noticed that 
the firmware source in drs-5.0.2 (and 5.0.3, SVN:5339) while still compiling fine with Xilinx ISE 10, stops
doing so in the ISE 14.7 (also already in 13.2)

While the Synthesis is running through (in the new ISE it complains about using more than 100% of resources.)
The Mapping fails due to constraints (firmware/ucf/drs4_eval5.ucf) complaining about an illegal IOSTANDARD
for P_IO_PMC_USR<55> (LVDS_25).

In the newer version the wild-cards (lines 67..69 ) are not properly dealt with, it seems, and if I move the
property by hand to all the wild-carded NETs it start to recognise the LVDS_25.
But after that Place&Route fails with messages about locked Banks due to incompatible VCCO.

I'm trying to adapt the ucf file and am reading about the changes in the ISE software and constraints files, but
want to ask if some of you guys have seen the same issue and resolved it out "officially".

The current firmware compiles nicely under 14.7. I attached it. It also has one modification which you probably need:

When the board triggers, the TRG OUT goes high and stays high until the board has been read out and restarted. So it can be used as a "busy" signal for an external trigger logic.

Best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
Thanks a lot for the new firmware. We are testing it at the moment in a beam test at PSI (PiM1) and we realized that this doesn't seem to work 100%.
We need to extend the death time after a trigger by approx. 200 mus in order to not loose triggers.
It seems that under certain circumstances a trigger within that window is ignored. 
We do a handshake after each trigger so we are able to recognize such ignored events. This can happen quite often (within the first few hundered events) when we do not increase the deadtime.
Do you have any idea what could be the reason for that issue?
Best regardds

I presume you have several evaluation boards and want to run them in sync, right?

This can be either made in daisy-chain mode (see manual page 25). In this case only the master board can trigger the slave boards. If you need to trigger on SEVERAL boards (like a coincidence between two boards), you have to do this with an external trigger and busy logic. This is rather 
complicated and needs detailed explanations. So come to my office and I will teach you.

Best,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
No we only use one evaluation board. We use the evaluation board as a part of our beam test setup. It includes a telescope based on the current PSI46V2.1 CMS Pixel chip and a trigger logic board for triggering the telescope and the evaluation board. This includes a 
handshake between every device and the tlu
e.g. the tlu expects an answer for each trigger.
If the trigger comes within this first 200 mus it seems that not every trigger is accepted.
In this moment our readout would 'die' since the tlu is waiting for the handshake.
Cheers
Felix

Do the following: 

Use the TRG OUT of the evaluation board as a "busy". Only if this signal goes low (meaning that the readout of the board is complete and the board has been restarted), then re-enable triggers in your trigger logic.

Actually we should take this offline not to pester other DRS users which are not interested in this topic. Please call me directly (3728) at PSI.

  244   Wed May 8 19:50:01 2013 Andrey KuznetsovDRS4 installation on Windows 8 issues

I'm also having trouble installing drivers and running DRSOsc program on another computer running Windows 8.


The issue with the driver is that it's not digitally signed.


The issue with the DRSOsc is that it's failing to find libusb0.dll. libusb-win32 seemed to have installed upon DRS4 software install, however the supplied version is Windows 7/8 incompatible, so on Windows 7 computer I had to download libusb_win32 v1.2.6.0 from the official website and install it directly, then everything worked fine. However in Windows 8, I am unable to install libusb-win32 because in  libusb-win32 Inf Wizard installation program when you select for which device the libusb should be used, it asks to install a driver, but when I point to DRS' driver, it says "Unknown Error: 1" and that's that. One way around the libusb issue is to copy the required dll and sys file directly where the .exe is stored.


I will attempt to disable signed driver signature requirement, and see if the driver installs then, but this should really be fixed instead.

Did you have any progress with that? Unfortunately I don't have a Windows 8 machine here at our institute, so I cannot reproduce your problem. At least I put the 1.2.6 libusb driver into the V5 software package.

Hello i cant install any the last versions that i downloaded from the dropbox, i can untar the file called drs-5.0.6 and when i type "make" while inside the extracted folder that starts working properly till a point and i get an error, its worth mention that i installed wxWidgets and could make a simple hello world that worked properly in wxWidgets.

Hello everyone, 

The new read_binary.cpp code 

I will be very glad if anyone can help with the old version of read_binary.cpp code. The latest version I saw online was updated on June 30th, 2014, but I need the old version of the code to compare what changes were made in the latest version. This will help me to modify it and be able to read my data successfully. Thanks

On the software download page at https://www.psi.ch/drs/software-download you find a link to all versions of the DRS software, which is located at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/clqo7ekr0ysbrip/AACoWJzrQAbf3WiBJHG89bGGa?dl=0

Earch .tar.gz file has a date, which should help you find the correct version.

Dear Sir or Madam,

      Good morning,I am using drs4 chip, and the measured fDTAP == 1/350ns, that is, fDOMINO == 1 / 350ns * 2048 == 5.8GHz.

     I have three questions:

                              1. Is fDOMINO determined by the chip itself?

                              2. C1, C2 and R2 are TBD. I don't know how many to choose. Is there an algorithm?

                              3."Configure Write Shift Register to contain all 1's",What, pray, is the meaning of “1's"?

                                                                                                                                                          Truely yours.

 

  855   Mon Jan 3 17:13:41 2022 Stefan RittDRS4 request assistance

1. fDOMINO is defined as fREFCLK * 2048

2. Good values can be derived from the evaluation board schematics: C1=4.7nF, C2=1nF, R=130 Ohm

3. A "1" means a logical high level. See Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logic_level
