36
37When data is input into Data-RAM by the DataGenerator, the data is fed in as words of 64bit.
38
39Each Event constists of an EventHeader, the so called ChannelData, and a small EventFooter.
40Figure (\ref{64bitRAM}) shows how the data is stored as 64bit words in the DataRAM.
41Assume the Event Start-Address beeing {\tt 0x2000} and each package of ChannelData consists 100 samples.

91During DRS readout and data digitzation, the Trigger ID is coming in through RS485 interface from FTM board.
92The Trigger ID reciption takes about $40 {\mu}$s. Therefor the 2 words containing Trigger information in the EventHeader are
93left empty in the first place. The digitazed analog data is read in as quickly as possible. Only after finishing the Readout,
94the Trigger ID is filled into the EventHeader.
95Then the EventFooter is added and the Readout is finished.

98\section{data order in 16bit address space}
99
100After an Event is stored in data RAM, is is ready to be read out by {\tt w5300 modul.vhd}.
101Since the FIFOs of FADs W5300 ethernet controller are of 16bit width, data is read out of the dataRAM
102as 16bit words. Empty 16bit words are left out.
103
104The following table shows how the data is ordered inside data RAM, when accessed in 16bit address space

165
166As one can see, the way of reading out of the RAM changes, from header to data section and again when data section ends.
167When reading the header, the addresses are increased by 1 usually and only jumps, when empty words show up in the RAM.
168One can picture it as if reading the words in each line from right to left, sometimes jumping over zeroes.
169When reading out the data sections, the words are read out as columns, i.e. addresses are incremented by 4 usually. One column is read until the data of a channel is completely read out, then either the next DRS chip is read out, which means to decrease the address or, if one group of channels was finished, the next group starts, which means address is increased by 1 only.
170The footer consisting of the CRC-16 (when finally implemented) and the end package flag is again read out by reading each word from right to left.

280All data may be treated as 64bit aligned. And the data readout process does not need jump over words during data sending.

335\subsection{mem manager calculations}
336
337Memory manager knows the size of FADs internal data RAM. This is implemented as VHDL-Generics called RAM\_ADD\_WIDTH\_64B
338and RAM\_ADD\_WIDTH\_16B. Since word width is 64bit on the input side and 16bit on the outpt two generics are used.
339Currently the values are:
340\begin{table}[htbp]
341\begin{tabular}{ll}
342RAM\_ADD\_WIDTH\_64B & 12 \\
343RAM\_ADD\_WIDTH\_16B & 14 \\
344\end {tabular}
345\caption{values of RAM width}
346\label{RAM_GENERICS}
347\end{table}
348
349Which results in
350\begin{equation}
351\mathtt{RAM size} = 2^{12} \cdot 8 byte= 2^14 * 2 byte = 32768 byte .
352\end{equation}
353
354Now the memory manager is able to calculate the number of Events, fitting into this RAM.
355
356The number of samples of each channel beeing digitized is called region of interest(ROI). Since the ROI of each of the 36 input channel may be defined independently, but the RAM is organized in 64bit words on the input side, the memory manager needs to calculate the effective ROI of each channel first. The DRS Chips are digitized in a parallel manner, but their 9 channels are digitized serially. So first each DRS is ordered to output its channel 0 data, until as many samples are digitized as the maximum of all channel 0 ROIs is.
357
358In the states called MAX\_ROI0..2 the array containing the maxima of each group of channels is calculated.
359In addition the so called channel size array is calculated. This is the number of 16bit words which is needed to store a group of
360channels in the W5300 FIFO. The header is included into the group of channels 0, while the package footer is included into group of channels 9.
361
362\subsubsection{state: MM CONFIG}
363Here all local variables are reset to zero. Let me shortly explain the meaning of each of them:
364\begin{table}[htbp]
365\begin{tabular}{lll}
366 roi\_max\_array & array (0 to 8) of integer range 0 to 1024 & maximum for each channel group\\
367 channel\_size & array (0 to 8) of integer range 0 to W5300\_TX\_FIFO\_SIZE & size of each channel group in 16b words \\
368 fifo\_write\_length & array (0 to 8) of integer range 0 to W5300\_TX\_FIFO\_SIZE & similar ??? \\
369 fifo\_channels\_array & array (0 to 8) of integer range 0 to 9 & ??? \\
370 \hline \\
371 event\_size & integer range 0 to RAM\_SIZE\_16B & ???\\
372 event\_size\_ram & integer range 0 to RAM\_SIZE\_16B & ???\\
373 event\_size\_ram\_64b & integer range 0 to RAM\_SIZE\_64B & ??? \\
374\end {tabular}
375\caption{ -no caption- -no label-}
376%\label{}
377\end{table}
378
379The input is only:
380\begin{table}[htbp]
381\begin{tabular}{lll}
382 roi\_array & array (0 to 35) of integer range 0 to 1024 & ROI of each channel\\
383\end {tabular}
384\caption{ -no caption- -no label-}
385%\label{}
386\end{table}
387
388\subsubsection{states: MAX ROI\bf{n} and state: FIFO\_CALC}
389\begin{itemize}
390\item find maxium in roi\_array for each channel and store it as the maximum roi of each channel group inside roi\_max\_array.
391\item calculate channel\_size(n) as $sum_{drs=0}^{3} \left( roi_{drs,n} + CHANNEL\_HEADER\_SIZE \right)$.
392For $n=0$ the size of the package header is added and for $n=8$ the size of the package footer is added to the channel\_size.
393So channel\_size(n) stores the number of 16bit words, which will be transmitted over ethernet for this particular group of channels n. \\
394Note: this is not the number of 16bit words, which will be stored inside the internal data RAM, since this number is defined by the maximum roi of each channel group.
395\item calculate into how many pieces the package need to be devided. fifo\_write\_length(m) contains a certain sum of channel\_sizes. So again
396fifo\_write\_length is a size measures in 16bit words, which will actually be transmitted over ethernet.
397\end{itemize}
398
399
400\subsubsection{states: RAM\_CALC\bf{n}}
401Here we need to know how many of these packages will fit into our data RAM.
