Abstract :
The clock system provides bunch crossing related timing signals to various detector subsystems. Accelerator synchronization and monitoring as well as timing signal generation and distribution are discussed. The system is built using three module types implemented in Eurostandard hardware with a VME communications interface. The first two types of module are used to facilitate synchronization with the accelerator and to generate 23 timing signals that are programmable with one RF bucket (18.8 ns) resolution and 1-ns accuracy. Fifty-four of the third module type are used to distribute the timing signals and two synchronous 53-MHz and 106-MHz clocks to various detector subsystems.<>
