Re: Hall D Electronics System Review - 14 March 2008, F326/327, 2:00p.m.



Hi Chris,

"Items 6, 8, and 10 are not modules, and the functions of energy sum, 
and track counting are incorporated into the SSP(Item 7)"

Does this mean the functions in items 6, 8 and 10 are part of the SSP?

But I guess this will become abundantly clear once we have a Trigger 
System Diagram.

Thanks,
Fernando
