Mock Data Challenge Plan¶

Mission Statement:
To test the Tracker system from a trigger through the DAQ and software. If possible with cold cryostats and at at least one tracker with full waveguides in place.

• Get a working trigger input from the LED system
• One tracker with cold cryos
• One with full waveguides attached
• Understand noise in the system
• DAQ - Use code that is committed into the repository and hardware defined in the database and updated firmware on VME boards.
• LED - repeat November test with everything on LED system hooked up (unless we have a serious noise problem) and determine light yield required.
• understand grounding.
• To have a working monitoring and online reconstruction tool patched into v7r3 in the control room.

• Both trackers with cold cryos
• Both trackers with full waveguides attached
• LED - determine appropriate brightness required by LED system and set it if possible
• Reduce noise to acceptable levels (cryostat grounding).
• Fix issues with grounding (vme crates etc)
• The monitoring and online reconstruction tool patched int v7r3 in the control showing sensible readout.
