[[Image:TaggerFocalPlane_ChannelPlan.png|thumb|555px|Scintillating fiber channels as seen by an on-coming electron. Since only energy tagging is required, the members of the 5-channel columns are summed to produce one signal corresponding to that energy channel. The exceptional columns are marked in red - the signals from their individual fibers will be read out to ascertain focal plane orientation and vertical spread. Note the segmentation of the 100-energy bin (column) array into 20 fiber modules. This is thought to be a more manageable design, corresponding nicely to the photo-sensor/electronics grouping.]]
