The TDC has 2 methods for recording the hits in Trigger Matching On mode.

 +
You can either record the absolute time by subtracting off the trigger time.
 +
 +
You can write the absolute time with respect to start of the window using the library function call
 +
 +
  tdc1190EnableTriggerTimeSubtraction(0); /*TDC records absolute time*/
 +
 +
The recorded time is with respect to the start of the window.  The "Trigger" happens at the end of the window.  So the higher the TDC value the closer the pulse is to the trigger.

ROC EB crash when component released

When the r1dc components are released from the CODA GUI in order to reload the r1dc readoutlist , the SIS3610 will have its VU light go green, CODA_ROC and CODA_EB will crash.

Readout

Absolute and relative time

The TDC has 2 methods for recording the hits in Trigger Matching On mode.

You can either record the absolute time by subtracting off the trigger time.

You can write the absolute time with respect to start of the window using the library function call 

 tdc1190EnableTriggerTimeSubtraction(0); /*TDC records absolute time*/

The recorded time is with respect to the start of the window. The "Trigger" happens at the end of the window. So the higher the TDC value the closer the pulse is to the trigger.
