Right now the 3x8 plots that all our plotting software makes orders the VFATs as (from left-to-right):
Row 1: VFAT0 -> VFAT7
Row 2: VFAT8 -> VFAT15
Row 3: VFAT16 -> VFAT23
However if you physically look at the detector you would have to "invert" this plot to match the physical location of the VFATs when facing the readout PCB. Suggest to change to:
Row 1: VFAT16 -> VFAT23
Row 2: VFAT8 -> VFAT15
Row 3: VFAT0 -> VFAT7
Types of issue
[ ] Bug report (report an issue with the code)
[X] Feature request (request for change which adds functionality)
Expected Behavior
The 3x8 grid plot more follows physical layout of chips on the detector when facing the readout PCB.
Current Behavior
The 3x8 grid plot is inverted w.r.t. the physical layout of chips on the detector when facing the readout PCB
Context (for feature requests)
It's going to make our lives much easier when mass production and quality control starts given that there will be inexperienced users. Having an "at a glance" representation that matches the physical layout will reduce complexity and potential errors in the long-term.
