AIDA-2020 触发逻辑单元 (TLU) 被设计为一个灵活且易于配置的单元，可为测试光束期间使用的设备提供触发和控制信号，并将其与光束望远镜集成。 TLU (v1E) 的最新版本已在 AIDA-2020 项目中重新设计，以与梁设施中使用的硬件集成。配置以及与 TLU 的通信通过以太网进行。它可以作为独立单元使用，也可以作为 EUDAQ2 数据采集框架的一部分进行部署，从而使其能够连接到各种 LHC 读出系统。 TLU 可以以 1 MHz 的持续粒子速率和高达 20 MHz 的瞬时速率运行。在当前的固件迭代中，该单元可以以 1.5 ns 的分辨率对输入信号进行时间戳标记。 TLU 的硬件、固件和软件设计可免费访问，并受益于经验丰富的用户的不断输入和升级。 TLU 装置已成功部署在 CERN 和 DESY 的束线中。
The AIDA-2020 Trigger Logic Unit (TLU) has been designed to be a flexible and easily configurable unit to provide trigger and control signals to devices employed during test beams, integrating them with the beam telescope. The most recent iteration of the TLU (v1E) has been re-designed within the AIDA-2020 project to integrate with hardware used in beam facilities. Configuration and communication with the TLU are performed over Ethernet. It can be employed as a stand-alone unit or be deployed as part of the EUDAQ2 data acquisition framework, which allows it to connect to a wide range of LHC readout systems. The TLU can operate with a sustained particle rate of 1 MHz and with instantaneous rates up to 20 MHz. In the current firmware iteration, the unit can time-stamp incoming signals with a resolution of 1.5 ns. The hardware, firmware and software designs of the TLU are freely accessible and benefit from constant inputs and upgrades from experienced users. TLU units have already been deployed successfully in beam lines at CERN and DESY.
