LAND/R3B DAQ developments — •Hans Törnqvist1, Thomas Aumann1, Haik Simon2, Håkan Johansson3, and Bastian Löher1 for the R3B collaboration — 1Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany — 2GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany — 3Chalmers Institute of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden
Existing experimental setups aim to exploit most of the improved capabilities and specifications of the upcoming FAIR facility at GSI. Their DAQ designs will require some re-evaluation and upgrades. This presentation summarizes the R3B experimental campaigns in 2014, where the R3B DAQ was subject to testing of several new features that will aid researchers in using larger and more complicated experimental setups in the future. It also acted as part of a small testing ground for the NUSTAR DAQ infrastructure. In order to allow to extract correlations between several experimental sites, new suggested triggering and timestamping implementations were tested over significant distances. Also, with growing experimental complexity comes a greater risk of problems that may be difficult to characterize and solve. To this end, essential remote monitoring and debugging tools have been used successfully.
