The serial number is 2586. This board is about two years old, and it might be in use (but I do not know exactly).

Are there plans to add the drs software to github? (asking because I have users @ethz.ch that want to use it on debian,
thus I'm creating official debian packages of it, if license allows so, but talking to upstream (the developers) would be
much easier on github (or irc) than on this "DRS4 Discussion Forum".

Hi,
we were trying to implement an automatic way to calibrate our DRS4 both in voltage and in time (we have the V5 Evaluation Board). We started
from drs_exam.cpp and tried with the following lines: |

Hi,
we modified drs_exam.cpp to read all 4 channels from the DRS4 and apply directly the spike removal (taken from Osci.cpp) during the acquisition
phase. For test purposes, we don't save the data showing spikes and we focus on the data not having spikes (even if at the end we end up having triple |

Hi,
thank you for the quick reply. All the bins in the previous histograms have the same width. We also tried to plot the noise histogram for channel
2 with more bins (i.e. 1000, so that we can see almost discrete values), and the peak is still there. |

Hi Stefan,
following your example, we tried to perform the same measurement, using drs_exam and taking 1000 events. The results we obtained are in the plots
attached (both in log and linear scale). We tried two different binnings: |

Hi,
I have a machine with Windows 10 and the solution provided by Steven works fine. To give more details, the driver installed in my case is WinUSB
(i.e. libusb, v6.1.7600.16385). |

Thank you for this fantastic solution. I had almost reinstalled windows 7 to see if that would solve the issue!
All the best, |

Hello,
I had forgotten to disable the turn off the power to the USB drive on Windows and DRS4 stopped triggering. Now, we are all on quarantine and
I am unable to reset the board to normal function. Are there any commands to reset the board remotely. I tried all of the default Windows based solutions |

|
Hello,
I recently modified the binary to ROOT convertor written by Stefan (https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/DRS4+Forum/361) so it can decode data taken
with any channel or set of channels on the DRS4. In the process of testing this modifed version for data taken on all 4 channels, I encountered problems |
|
Thu Nov 10 19:24:52 2016, Abhishek Rajput, Break Statements in DRS4 Binary to ROOT Macro
|
Hello,
I am wondering why the code should be changed to i < sizeof(eh), since doesn't fread(&eh,sizeof(eh),1,f) return 1 in this scenario?
I've confirmed with a cout statement that this is the case, so this break condition will therefore always trigger as sizeof(eh) is 32 bytes. |

Hello,
I was running through a particular binary file containing data taken on all 4 channels of the DRS4 and printing out the value of the first time
sample for each channel (per event). While doing so, I noticed that some of these times were negative. For this dataset, channel 1 was chosen |

Thank you for the excellent explanation and diagram. This part of the code is now much clearer to me.
My other questions pertain to the "trigger cell". Firstly, what precisely does this mean? Moreover, how does the "trigger |

I would like to be able to trigger in this fashon: channel 0 > 0.1 and. channel 1< -0.1, because I have a positive and a negative signal.
Can DRS4 (5) Eval board do this kind of trigger?
Thanks! |

Ok, thanks! do you know an easy in-line inverter like mini-circuit or digikey? Can also redesign the detector I gues to produce
positive signals, just it might be easier if there was a simple inverter if you are aware of? thanks Abaz
