• Slow control procedure implementation in SDR2
  (JLV1)
• Increase number of output event buffers in JLV1
  and SDR2.
• SDR2 board to be delivered by 5 May
• Have fully functional DAQ program by August

6
Current Status of the xDR, JINx Software

• V6205 frozen for FM production
• ROM Monitor used to program TDR QM
• DAQ development version
• SDR code is ready for tests
• SDR2 board needs more HW development
• Sequencer
• LeCroy Bus
• AMSW links
• S-crate HW is on a critical path

JMDC Software
8
Status of the JROM software (A.Kounine)

• V661E frozen on 28.06.2006
• Documentation is available http//ams.cern.ch/
  AMS/DAQsoft/ROM.pdf
• Consistent with DAQ program
• Under tests by X.Cai
• JROM release for FM JSBCs by 31 July
• New data types added for consistency with DAQ
• Modifications for JBUX are expected

9
JROM Status

• Version 661E is now ready be to programmed into
  PROM for flight module production now.
• The current version is support the following main
  functions
• Support JBU module only (may be changed to
  support JBUX later)
• Configuration file (see JROM document for detail
  format)
• Communications via 1553, HRDL, RS422, AMSW and
  CAN
• Support only the direct command to itself (not
  pass the command to other interfaces)
• Supported commands are unified with JAP
• Flash file system and file transfer protocol are
  supported
• Log file will be written to flash memory

10
JAP (JOS) Status (X.Cai S.Xu)

• JOS has not changed since March 2005.
• JAP has not changed since November 2005. The
  current version supports the following functions
• Communications via all links including passing
  commands through different interfaces
• Flash file system and file transfer protocol are
  supported
• Data acquisition from lower level of the system
  (need to be optimized)
• Slow control command queue is supported
• Slow control tasks can be added
• The following new changes will be done before the
  end of August 2006
• Modify to support unified commands with JROM
• Qualification test tasks to be added
• Configuration and command file support
• Waiting for the integration test for the
  following functions
• Trigger control
• Slow control tasks

11
Software for Ground Support Computers (X.Cai)

• New software for ground support computers is
  under development.
• Supported interfaces HRDL, RS422, 1553, AMSW
  (EPPBOX), CAN (EPPBOX) and TReK Gate.
• Supported functions
• General commander
• Monitors (to be added continuously)
• Special commander and control programs (Alexei
  has a lot of such program to be modified for the
  new system)
• Data recorder from all interfaces
• Goal to have basic functions running before the
  end of 2006.

12
DAQ Early Integration Test

• Next round August 2006
• TOF electronics must be functional
• Slow Control to be tested
• Goal develop operation procedures, measure DAQ
  performance.

13
Conclusions

• xDR, JINF, JINJ software.
• ROM Monitor is frozen, used for JLV1 FM, TDR QM
• S-crate HW is on the critical path.
• JMDC software.
• ROM Monitor V661E will be used for FM production
• JOS is frozen, no modifications are foreseen
• JAP is under tests and development.
• EIT next round August 2006.
