Remote Configuration of the iPMT ReadOutBoard in OSIRIS — Feng Gao, Florian Kiel, Tim Kuhlbusch, Achim Stahl, •Jochen Steinmann, Christopher Wiebusch, and Christian Wysotzki — III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University

Within a novel concept for photomultiplier readout, all necessary electronics are mounted at the back of the PMT. This introduces the problem, that there is no direct access to the electronics anymore. Configuration and debugging using standard tools and adapters is not possible.

In order to be able to configure and debug the readout-electronics the Slow Control and Configuration Unit has been developed. This device enables programming and configuration of the used FPGA and ADC. Furthermore it provides access to various interfaces, which can be used to implement the slow control and monitoring of the electronics. The whole data transfer is done via Ethernet. Hence no attention has to be payed to the distances between the control system and the PMT.
