Paul Smith (Task D) uses anUltra 5 workstation with Mentor Graphics software to do schematic capture, printed circuit board design, and gate array design. He also uses software from Xilinx for developing gate arrays. The group also uses a Tektronix TDS7104 digital scope, 4 channels with 1 GHz bandwidth, ethernet interface for transfering data to analysis computers. Paul Smith is in in charge of electronics for the GlueX/HallD project and is developing a flash ADC (FADC) design. He is also doing a modification of his Cockcroft-Walton base. Both will be manufactured using a robotics electronics assembly facility to be installed in the HEP labs in the physics building in June 2003.
Located
in the same wing of the physics building as Task A and D offices
is a 160 m2 electronics assembly and testing area.
