further steps • Adjustable slope range must be defjned for fjnalizing SAMPA fjlter design as bit width of registers must be specifjed prior to submiting the chip for production, this is time critical. • A better slope correction needs to be designed if shown deviations are a concern. This correction would be implemented in CRU/post processing, this is not time critical. • More realistic validation/simulation of the fjlters using AliRoot may be done next week when Marian/Mesut are available. 14
