|-
 
|1||Continuous main DAQ mode||Similar to final 'triggerless' far detector running mode, i.e. parallel trigger farm looks for nice muons in real time. Needs ZS of TPC data to work.|| ---
 
|-
 
|2||Triggered main DAQ mode||Main selection is external trigger counter|| ---
 
|-
 
|3||Immediate triggered mode||Use TOC triggered mode (only outputs data in window) or SSP triggered mode to avoid bottleneck.||This is a fallback option of there is bottleneck in either RCE or SSP data.
 
|-
 
|4||Triggered window mode|| TPC in triggered non-zero suppressed mode|| Use before we are happy with ZS in RC
 
|-
 
|5||Wide-window burst mode||TPC in burst mode with the longest window possible (512MB buffer = 0.5s).||Special run mode for offline ZS studies
 
|-
 
|6||Burst mode||Collect data in certain time window (could either determine this from a Nova time hash function, or using Penn board trigger input||Fallback before ZS works in RCE, this is also the mode for measuring noise, i.e. this is  the  mode for November vertical slice test

= Issues =
 
* Purposes and architecture of the proposed online farm
 
* Design of the metadata
 
* Handling TPC stream data within the framework which is trigger-oriented, issues of timing and multiple interaction in temporally close slices
 
* Possible necessity to duplicate parts of raw data to create overlaps, in order to make practical operation of the online farm
 
 
 
= Misc Questions =
 
In no particular order, these are the questions pertaining to DAQ and its interface with off-line:
 
* what is the low level DAQ file format/encoding (ROOT? binary?)
 
* what schema does the content of DAQ files follow?
 
* where is a diagram showing all the parts of the DAQ data stream with their names (millislice, microblock, tick, "trigger", etc)?
 
* what is the start/stop criteria that defines the highest level "chunk" of data (e.g. a "trigger")?
 
* how does this "chunk" correspond to a trigger for each expected trigger criteria?
 
* what time-ordering is expected from data coming out of the DAQ, particularly between disparate sources (e.g. Wires/PDs)?
 
* what unit of data "chunk" ("event") is required and desired for offline analysis?
 
* what offline analysis decisions/limitations can we, as a collaboration, be comfortable "baking in" to this choice of unit?
 
* how are DAQ data "chunks" (triggers) numbered?  How are offline data "chunks" ("events") numbered? 
 
* what is the mapping from the former to the latter?
 
* what changes to art and/or larsoft are needed to accommodate the above answers?
