The Florence Trigger-Box (FTB) project: An FPGA-based configurable and scalable trigger system
Abstract
A multi-layer trigger system, based on programmable logic devices hosted on VME boards, has been implemented. It is completely scalable and suitable for handling from a few up to a few hundred channels. Custom software for monitoring and controlling the trigger system has been developed.
