Setup

No optical readout is used, we use the electrical lines.


Parameters

Noise Scan
A trimming was done at Qin=0.0fC (Noise Scan), using the 60mV range. The Threshold value that minimizes the spread was 45 mV. Using this trimming, a Noise Scan was done and no sign of instability was observed.
Common Mode
Using the trimming at 0fC and setting the threshold at 0fC, 100.000 events were analyzed. HitsperEvent.ps shows the number of hits per event (over 1) and the spread of this distribution. The calculated Gamma gives 6% of Common Mode.

Plotting the Correlation Matrix (CorrelationFull.jpg) one can observe a very low correlation (0.0003) for channels of different chip and a bit more (0.028) for channels within the same chip (correlaciones.ps).

If one observes the correlation within one chip, it seems that channels with lower value (within the chip) have a little bit more correlation than channels with higher number. Chip number 4 is a clear example (corr4-4.eps).


Trimming
The trimming was done at Qin=1.0fC, using the 60mV range. The Threshold value that minimizes the spread at 1.0fC is 85 mV.

Pulse Shape
A combined Strobe Delay - Threshold Scan was taken to reconstruct the pulse shape at 2fC and 4fC.
