h3. Tracker Timing studies

Note.. I'll insert instructions and beam requests here.

Please use the following standard pion reference beam (and check this is the std. reference beam):

|  Particle Species | p at Tgt | p@D1| p@D2| Proton Absorber | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | D1| DS | D2| Q4 | Q5 | Q6 | Q7 | Q8 | Q9 | Similar Run(s)|

| mm | A| A| A| A| A| A| A| A | A | A | A | A|A|A|A|A| DAQ run #|

| Pion Reference | ? | ? | ? | 29  | 57.8 | 105.7 | 64.5 | 202.8| ---| 176.9 | 237.1 | 157.2 | 157.6 | 238.5 | 125.70 | 203.7 | 7257 |

I would  like the following runs:

Target is 25K Triggers in TOF1 per run...

| Run Type | Timing FileName | Efficiency   | Alive Window | Alive Window | Est.   | Run # |

|          |          | (Trig/Request) | Delay (ns)   | Width (ns)   | Spills |       |

| Nominal  | Nominal.cfg         | 0.8        | 130          | 110 (116.4 meas.) | 1400 (20min)| ?? |

| Section1 | Timing_section1.cfg | <0.2       | 130          | 30 (35 meas.) | 5600  (2hr) | ?? |

| Section2 | Timing_section2.cfg | >0.2       | 130          | 30 (30 meas.) | 5600 (2hr) | ?? |

| Section3 | Timing_section3.cfg | >0.2       | 130          | 30 (35 meas.) | 5600 (2hr) | ?? |

| Section4 | Timing_section4.cfg | <0.2       | 130          | 30 (35 meas.) | 5600 (2hr) | ?? |

*Instructions:*

Cd into directory on acq machine:

<pre>

ssh miceacq16

cd ~/tracker/gate_generator_config/

</pre>

For each setting do the following Run:

<pre>

./ConfigDownloadT560.py timing_studies/FileName

</pre>eg:

<pre>

./ConfigDownloadT560.py timing_studies/Timing_section1.cfg

</pre>

Once complete run to restore to normal beam settings:

<pre>

./ConfigDownloadT560.py BeamTiming_TOF1.cfg

</pre>

Notes: In run 7257 830 spills collected. Assume ~1 noise hit in TOF2/TOF1 per spill = 830 noise hits

TOF2/TOF1 scalars: 4835/19737 = 25%

TOF2(-noise)/TOF1(-noise) = 20%

23 Triggers per spill.

Would like ~5K hits in TOF2 for each setting. => 25K Particle Triggers in TOF1.

Could Halve these values if needed...
