Progress report 
April 2000


· Hit filter 
The serial and parallel combinations of the comparators were compared 
to fit the design into an EPF10K200EQC208-1, 22 parallel filters fit 
successfully in the above chip (which is largest available in FLEX family)

· Cluster Finder and Centroid Calculator
Made changes to the algorithms for the cluster finder and the centroid 
calculation - 
i) To store the address of each strip used in a centroid calculation.
ii) To define a cluster as a set of continuous strip numbers.
iii) To find the pulse height (dE / dx) of a cluster.

  
· Strip Reader
Making the changes in the algorithm - offset and gain for the corrected 
data, and all streams required for the L3 buffering.
