SPS New Timing Tests

The SPS master timing generator is foreseen to be replaced in 2004 by a central timing generator called CBCM, which will control the whole accelerator complex. At this occasion a working group has been created to review the actual SPS timing events and how it could fit in with the new MTG. It has been decided that a rationalization and simplification of the events was necessary in order that the events are manageable by the CBCM. At the end of the 2003 run, the cleaned-up events have been tested with the SPS MTG. Then the CBCM has been plugged to generate the same events. The tests and their results are described in this document.
