D0 L1 Cal Data Pump

Questions:

• How has this been done in the past? What can we learn from that? How is this different?
• Form factor, is 9U required or is 6U possible. Stand alone possible, Power?
• Analog Out
• What type of waveforms must be generated?
• Time/frequency characteristics of waveforms? Such as duration and number of points. Number of bits of resolution – is 8 OK?
• Output dynamic range? If variable, how is it controlled?
• Number of channels – 1 ADF (24) or more?
• Can Fast RAM + D2As produce the signals? If 200 MHz works, yes.
• Timescale to load wave shapes.
• Number of internal wave shapes
• Frequency characteristics of Output Filter.
• Timing in
• Need bunch crossing clock and start output timing signals.
• All from SCL system or is there an alternative?
• Include a simple trigger from external input?
• What range of delays is needed?
• From trigger x to y ns.
• Between channels?
• Timing out needed to other boards
• Other
• Is there a document or can Dan Edmonds describe the BLS output characteristics.
• Flexibility is proportional to cost. Is this a $4k module or an $8k module?
• Schedule. When is this need it? How many of these boards are needed? All at the same time?
