 +There exists the possibility to use the LTA with the cdaq software of the ACM, but nobody knows if the ldaq library for the LTA already exists or not....
 +===== Hardware & Components=====
 +
 +The LTA uses 4 LTC2382-16 ([[https://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/238216fa.pdf|datasheet]]) 500ksps, Low Power SAR analog to digital converters from Linear Technology for signal digitization of the input signals, each coupled to a voltage reference. A number of ADG5234 ([[https://www.analog.com/en/products/adg5234.html#part-details|datasheet]]) high voltage Latch-Up proof, quad SPDT switches are used for directing the serial output of the ADCs to the integrated micro-controller while an additional ADG5207 [[https://www.analog.com/en/products/adg5207.html#part-details|datasheet]] high voltage, latch-up proof, 8-Channel differential multiplexer is also integrated for multiple CCD control.

 +==== Image taking ====
 +The configure.exe does not automatically upload the sequencer. This has to be done manually with this command:
 +  * lta seq /home/damic/Applications/LTA/ltaDaemon/sequencers/legacy/skp_lta_v1.txt
 +to run the sequencer without image taking use this command:
 +  * lta runseq
 +to run the sequencer and take an image:
 +  * lta startseq
 +to read out the image:
 +  * lta read
 +to change the default saving direcotry:
 +  * lta name /home/damic/Pictures/LTA/
 +
 +==== We never got data from the LTA error ====
 +
 +It is quite possible that after an image is taking that you get the //We never got data from the LTA
 +// which can be solved by using this commands:
 +  * sudo tcpdump -i enp7s0 -n udp and host 192.168.133.7 -c 20 -w lta_pkts.pcap
 +  * sudo tcpdump -r lta_pkts.pcap -n -vvv | head -n 40

 +===== Pin Layout =====
 +
 +There are two different Pin Layouts for two different Versions of the LTA, we use the DES Pinout. The J10, J14, J22 and J23 are blocks on the LTA itself.
