This page describes the formats of the banks produced by the Tell1 (and UKL1) electronics boards. These banks are transported by the DAQ to the Online Event Filter Farm after a L0 YES trigger, where they are collected into a RawEvent object that is accessed by the Moore high level trigger application. The same raw data structure is simulated by the Boole digitization application which produces a RawEvent object containing a collection of banks with the same format.

The software implementation of the RawEvent buffer and RawBank bank structure can be found in the DAQEvent package. Each sub-detector has developed code to simulate the raw data banks produced by their front end electronics, and to decode the raw banks in both real and simulated data.
