Level-1 Trigger Qualifiers

Version (Jan-29-2002) Jim Linnemann's definition

Trigger Qualifier Bit Definition
The L1 Trigger Qualifiers are collected into a 16-bit word broadcast as part of the
SCL data by the MBT. HW or Std refer to "hardware" type or "standard" type qualifiers. Dan Edmunds' definition of these is:
A Standard L1_Qualifier is asserted for a given event if any one of a defined subset of the 128 L1 Specific Triggers fired for that event. The "defined subset" of L1 Specific Triggers for each of the 12 Standard L1_Qualifiers is setup by COOR at the COOR to Trig FW trigger download time, i.e. their meaning is dynamic and can be moved by COOR to fit the user's requirements.
A Hardware L1_Qualifier is asserted if its electrical input control signal is asserted. These are hard wired so they can not be moved about by COOR.

SCL Data on the Link
This SCL data is received on channel-0 of the SLIC and has the following format when broadcast on the link with routing bits V[5..1]=11111. See
Arthur's data format page (SCL inputs to SLIC).
