      A brief history. The first design for NDOS was 2" wide by 1" thick. It proved not to fit because of the manifold lips flared out during construction. We then shaved its width down to 1.75", which fit. However, because the Far Detector manifolds have longer lips we decided to reduce the width, first to 1.5" and then to 1.25". We also reduced the height to 0.70" first and then to 0.75" (standard stock thickness) to save on cost and to reduce the height. At the time it was thought that the horizontal modules would be right up to the vertical manifold lips. The final design was made by eMachineShop which is casting the feet rather than machining them.

Board Schematics and Layout

• System: .png
• Note on versions:
  • Verison 1: was designed largely by Yoshi in the spring of 2007. It was tested and worked satisfactory, although changes were planned.
  • Version 2: included changes made to the Version 1 design. It was not completed when NOVA was temporary cancelled in Dec. 2007, and was never built. A safety review in early 2009 mandated additional changes.
  • Version 3: included the safety review changes. Yoshi was no longer on the project: Stephen Goadhouse made all the required changes to the schematics. The backplane was layed out by Stephen, while the boards were layed out by 3W.
    Version 3.1: first version made by 3W in February 2010.
