Circella and the NEMO Coll., Timing Calibration in NEMO VLVT workshop, Amsterdam, October 2003 Time measurements in NEMO 1. The signals from the Optical Modules are continuously sampled at 200 MHz (by means of two ‘staggered’ ADC’s) 2. When a threshold value (remotely programmable through slow control) is met, the over-threshold samples, plus a fixed number of pre-trigger samples, are stored in a FIFO for transmission to shore 3. The readout at the trigger time of a 16-bit 100 MHz counter is stored together with the sampled signals Synchronization in NEMO 1. The clock signal is recovered offshore (in each Floor Control Module) from the SDH frames received from the onshore station 2. The SDH mapper inside the FCM recovers a low-jitter 19.44 MHz clock (also used to clock out the ‘payload’ data received in the SDH data frames) 3. A 1.215 MHz clock is delivered from the FCM to the Optical Modules 4. This 1.215 MHz clock is fed to a PLL to give rise to the 100 MHz clock used for all front-end operations M. Circella and the NEMO Coll., Timing Calibration in NEMO VLVT workshop, Amsterdam, October 2003 Timing calibration in NEMO Two different problems: • Compare the time measured in the apparatus with UTC time (“absolute” timing calibration) Same problem for all neutrino telescopes • Determine the offsets in local time measurements (“relative” timing calibration), i.e. the propagation time of commands and clock signals from onshore to offshore Same problem for all neutrino telescopes if the digitization and time measurements are performed offshore M.
