2.2 Validation of the trigger by a second subsequent signal.
In the case where one would like to validate the data stored in the MATACQ chips before
their transfer towards the RAM, it is possible to make use of the
EXT_EN_TRIG
input to
introduce therethrough a validation signal (see figure 3c). This is particularly useful if the
system produces such a signal with a delay greater than the maximum sampling depth
(2560/Fp i-e 1.25
μ
s at 2GS/s and 2.5
μ
s at 1GS/s) and smaller than the transfer time
towards the RAM (650
μ
s). This can thus permit a big decrease of the potential dead-time
linked to the readout. In this case, the usual use of the
EXT_EN_TRIG
signal (which
permits inhibiting the trigger as described on figure 3b) is inhibited.
In order to perform the validation, a programmable 8-bit latency counter ( called
POST_STOP_LATENCY) with steps of 2.5
μ
s is started at the end of the POSTTRIG,
and if the external validation signal hasn’t arrived before the end of that delay, the
Matacq chips switch back into the analog input signal writing mode thus waiting for the
next trigger. If on the other hand the validation signal did arrive, the waiting data is
digitized then stored into the RAM. This mode is validated thanks to the bit 5 of the
TRIGGER_TYPE register (see IV.4). Moreover, a second 8-bit register ( called
POST_LATENCY_PRETRIG) with the same steps of 2.5
μ
s permits the programming of
the time to wait before enabling the trigger again if the validation didn’t occur. The
minimum time for refilling is of 1.25
μ
s at 2GS/s and of 2.5
μ
s at 1GS/s. The minimum
value in that register is thus 1.
