ACD_Mode: ACD channel masking and mode configuration

The ACD_Mode precinct controls masking various aspect of the ACD functionality and configuring the ACD Front-end electronics.

• Registers:
  

  Group	Register Name	Instances	Multiplicity	Subsections	Type	Width (bits)
  ARC	veto_en	12	2	1	mask	18
  ARC	pha_en	12	2	1	mask	18
  ARC	max_pha	12	1	1	int	5
  AFE	config_reg	12 x 18	1	1	fields	8
  AFE	tci_dac	12 x 18	1	1	int	6

  
  

  Since ARC registers are 16 bits wide, the veto_en and pha_en registers are both split into two parts, _0 (first 16 bits) and _1 (last two bits). For the sake of specifing LATC intent in the vote file they are treated as a single register.

  The breakout for the fields in the config_reg register is:
  

  Field	Mask	Comments
  TCI	0x0002	Bit set enables charge injection
  manual_gain_range	0x0004	Bit set means manual selection of readout range
  high_gain_range	0x0008	Bit set means readout in high range
  veto_discriminator	0x0010	Bit set enables veto discriminator
  HLD_discriminator	0x0020	Bit set enables high-level (CNO) discriminator
  high_TCI	0x0040	Bit set enable high-range charge injection
