Partitioning

The DAQ system can be partitioned in multiple concurrent data taking sessions. It has been agreed that the smallest partition granularity on the cryostat is the Cold Electronics/TPC (FELIX or RCE) and Photon System (SSP) electronics on one APA and that the maximum number of partitions for each timing master is 4. This means that you can run one or more APAs together in up to 4 concurrent combinations, but that, if an APA CE or SSP component is used for one partition, none of the other APA CE/SSP sub components can be used for another partition.

In addition to the cryostat configuration, which is linked to the PROD_FANOUT_0 timing master and represented in the Run Control by Partitions 0-3, we have setup test configurations, such as the VST, linked to the TERTIARY timing master: in the Run Control those are represented as Partitions 4-7 ( the partition IDs will still be 0-3, but for a different timing master!).
