Mounted in slot 16 is the time-to-digital converter (TDC), in this case an F1TDC. This TDC has high resolution (up to 60 pS LSB), and is capable of storing up to one million hits. Its front panel consists of a differential ECL input, and either 64 or 32 other input channels, depending on whether the TDC is running in 120 pS LSB of 60 pS LSB mode, respectively. This board is also currently not used in our DAQ operation.

'''Gluon2'''
Accompanying the halldtrg5 crate is gluon2, which is set-up in the same location, and allows halldtrg5 to communicate with the rest of the cluster's network. An NFS connection has been set-up to allow halldtrg5 to transfer files from DAQ runs to a location on our research group's computing cluster (which I access via gluey.phys.uconn.edu). This was necessary as the halldtrg5 CPU board only has flash memory, and allowing data to be written to it would quickly exhaust its storage capacity. The computer's drive included a directory title "Data", which was intended to be a location for an external drive to be mounted. This (and the similar home/halld/data) are now connected to export/annex2 on gluey.
