| ethernet sfp - use copper sfp only
| minisas - not used, do not connect
| esata - clock in, trigger out

Firmware update procedure

Firmware revisions

ALPHA-g trigger functions

Trigger modes:

  • software trigger
  • pulser trigger
  • trigger on GRIF16 ADC NIM and ESATA inputs
  • adc16 grand-or
  • adc32 grand-or
  • adc16 multiplicity (plus adc32 multiplicity?!?)
  • trigger on coincidences of ADC links
