Conceptually, the operation course must proceed as outlined in the adjacent figure. The main concern in the tagger control is maintaining a map between board/channel addresses and actual energy bins. For this purpose, the diagrammed two-stage reset plan was devised in the course of which the FPGA learns the PC's MAC address and the PC builds a MAC-Location lookup table. (The "Location" is an 8-byte slot identifier which allows the PC to pinpoint the SiPM channel group.)

The internal FPGA operation course that supports this scheme (and the general control board functionality requirements) is outlined below.
