Feature Request: Cross-Talk Investigator for VFAT3

[bdorney]

Brief summary of issue

We need to investigate the issue of cross-talk in vfat3 on the detector where the inter-strip capacitance is a concern.

Should make a tool that does this.

Types of issue

• [ ] Bug report (report an issue with the code)
• [X] Feature request (request for change which adds functionality)

Expected Behavior

The tool should use the data path readout (via amc13) with the lossless mode. The tool should:

1. Enable the calpulse on channel 0, then
2. Send N calpulses at height V, then
3. Repeat steps 2 for V in range [scanmin, scanmax] with step size stepSize, then
4. Disable the calpulse on channel 0, then
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for channels 2 through 127.

The parameters: N, scanmin, scanmax, stepSize, chanMin and chanMax should all be configurable at runtime.

Then offline when calpulsing channel X we can see which channels have hits in range [0,127]. Channels with hits that are not X can be used to investigate any potential cross-talk.

Context (for feature requests)

This will be necessary to cross-check which vfat3 preamplifier settings should be used.

Cross-talk measurements were made with external pulser, closed as no longer needed.
