The Data Acquisition System (DAQ) and the utilities like the monitoring also called the House-Keepting (HK) and the power supplies. Those subsystems are all described below. 113 \subsection{Optics subsystem} 118 The instrument is broken down into subsystems defined to be: the optics, the Focal Surface (FS), the photodetector with the MAPMTs, the ASICs measuring signals, the Photo-Detector Module Board (PDMB) and the Cluster Control Board (CCB) providing readout triggers, the Data Acquisition System (DAQ) and utilities like the monitoring also called the House-Keepting (HK) and the power supplies. Those subsystems are all described below. 119 120 \subsection{Optics Subsystem} 114 121 The optics subsystem involves three lenses. 115 122 Its goal is to provide the best focusing for the smallest focal distance. The focusing requirement is constrained by the pixel size of the photodetection system. 116 Due to the wide angular field of view, it is necessary to combine 3 flat lenses. External ones are focusing one-sided Fresnel lens and the middle one is purely dispersive to correct for chromatic aberrations. These lenses are manufactured in PMMA material~\cite{bib:Optics}. The ray tracing calculations including the temperature profile expected for flights in cold and warm cases provide a focal length of 1.62 m and a focal point spread width of the order of 2.6 mm, smaller than the pixel size.123 Due to the wide angular field of view, it is necessary to combine 3 flat lenses.

The FS is arranged into a so-called Photo-Detector Module (PDM) whose design and effective realisation is described in details in~\cite{bib:FrontEndEl}. We review in the following the main properties of this electronics.120 121 \paragraph{Focal Surface} The focal surfaceis a slightly curved surface, similarly to that of the JEM-EUSO central PDM. It is an array of 48$\times$48 pixels of 2.88 mm $\times$ 2.88 mm size exceeding slightly the focal point spread. Practically, the focal surface of the PDM is broken up into a set of 9 identical Elementary Cells (ECs), which are matrices of 2$\times$2 MAPMTs. The photocathode is covered by a BG3 UV filter. Inside the PDM structure, the 9 ECs are disposed and tilted according to the appropriate shape required for the FS.126 MAPMTs constituting the FS provide anode signals measured and digitised by ASICs, themselves readout by FPGA to run the trigger algorithm.

Inside the PDM structure, the 9 ECs are disposed and tilted according to the appropriate shape required for the FS. 122 129 123 130 \paragraph{MAPMTs} They are photon detectors consisting of a matrix of 8$\times$8 pixels. Each pixel is associated to an anode generating a charge or a current in output. Their sensitivity is as low as a few tenths of photon and their dynamic range can extend up to few thousands photon per $\mu$s when working at their nominal high gain, $10^6$. … … 125 132 \paragraph{High voltage power supply} 126 133 MAPMTs require to be polarised with 14 high voltages. The latter are generated by a high voltage power supply (Crockoft-Walton (CW) type to restrain the power consumption). The nominal high voltage of the photocathode is -900 V for a MAPMT nominal gain at $10^6$. The effective dynamic range can be extended up to 10$^7$ photons/$\mu$s by reducing gradually the gain down to 30. Fast switches (SW) responsive at $\mu$s timescale, adapt HV values to tune the MAPMT gain according to the intensity of photon flux. 127 Because a large photon flux generating anode current above 100$\mu$A would destroy the tube, this automatic control system can even switch off the gain. Practically this switching decision logic is implemented in a FPGAreading out the \mbox{ASICs}. In the PDM, there is 9 independent CW with their individual 9 SW, assembled into two separated HVPS boxes, each CW controlling independently the 9 ECs High Voltages.128 129 130 \paragraph{ASICs} 36 SPACIROC~\cite{bib:ASIC} type ASICs are used to perform the anode signals measurement and digitisation of the 36 MAPMTs. These ASICs have 64 channels. Their analog inputs are DC-coupled to the MAPMT anodes. They process the 64 analog signals in parallel in two modes : 1) in photoelectron counting mode, in a range from 1/3 of photoelectrons up to 100 photoelectrons, by discriminating over a programmed threshold each of the channels, 2) byestimating the charge from 20~pC to 200~pC, by time over threshold determination for exclusive groups of 8 anodes current sums from clusters of 8 contiguous pixels. The 64 analog channels are balanced each-other relatively by gain matching over 8-bits.131 The discrimination voltage level used in the photon-counting is provided by a 10-bit DAC (Digital to Amplitude converter).134 Because a large photon flux generating anode current above 100$\mu$A would destroy the tube, this automatic control system can even switch off the gain.

The 64 analog channels are balanced each-other relatively by gain matching over 8-bits. 138 The discrimination voltage level used in the photon-counting is provided by a 10-bit DAC (Digital to Amplitude Converter). 132 139 In both cases the digitisation is performed by 8-bits counters every GTU. There is no data buffering on the ASIC. The data are transferred to the FPGA each GTU under the sequencing frequency of a 40MHz clock. 133 140 134 \paragraph{Trigger} The Instrument includes two trigger stages. The level 1 trigger (L1) implemented in the FPGA (Xilinks Virtex 6) of a PDM-Board (PDMB), belonging to the Front-End Electronics. The PDMB readouts the data from the 36 ASICs into its internal memory (the event buffer) each GTU to compute the L1 trigger. Its principle consists in counting an excess of signals over background in groups of 3$\times$3 pixels lasting more than a preset persistence time. The background rate seen by pixel is monitored continuously to adjust in real-time the trigger threshold which is adjusted such as the L1 rate is kept at a fixed level of a few Hz compatible with the DAQ recording rate. The trigger is evaluated each GTU. Because Air-Showers may extend over 100 GTU, this trigger has the buffering capability over 128 consecutive GTU. 141 \paragraph{Trigger} The instrument includes two trigger stages.

The PDMB readouts the data from the 36 ASICs into its internal memory (the event buffer) each GTU to compute the L1 trigger. Its principle consists in counting an excess of signals over background in groups of 3$\times$3 pixels lasting more than a preset persistence time. 142 The background rate seen by pixel is monitored continuously to adjust in real-time the trigger threshold keeping the L1 rate compatible with the DAQ recording rate (few Hz). 143 The trigger is evaluated each GTU. Because Air-Showers may extend over 100 GTU, this trigger has the buffering capability over 128 consecutive GTU. 135 144 To reduce the dead-time induced by event readout, the event buffer is doubled. 136 145 137 \subsection{Data acquisition}146 \subsection{Data Acquisition} 138 147 The data acquisition system is part of the computing system DP (Data Processing). 139 It comprises the CCB designed to produce the second level trigger L2, which is described in~\cite{bib:CCB}. For each generated L1 trigger, the CCB reads thedata corresponding to the 128 consecutive GTU from the PDMB buffer. In JEM-EUSO, the CCB is devoted to the combination of 9-PDMB triggers and to reduce the resulting combined trigger rate to about a few Hz or less compatible with the data storage capabilities of the DAQ. The triggering role of the CCB in EUSO-Balloon is marginal as there is only one PDM. However it has the task to read the whole event from the Front-End and to pass it to the CPU. The L2 decision is propagated to the Clock-Board (CLKB, based on a Xilinks Virtex5 FPGA) generating all the clocks used by the electronics, itself associated with a GPS-Board to provide the event time tagging data with an accuracy of a few microseconds.140 The CPU (Motherboard iTX-i2705 model, processor Atom N270 1.6 GHz) merges the event data with the time tagging data to build an event of a size of 330 kB, leading to a data flow of 3MB/s for a 10 Hz L1-L2 trigger. The CPU write all thedata on disks (1 TB CZ Octane SATA II 2.5Ó SSD) and may also send to telemetry a subset of flagged events by CCB for event monitoring.148 It comprises the CCB designed to produce the second level trigger L2, which is described in~\cite{bib:CCB}.

It is based on a commercial micro controller board (Arduino Mega 2560) designed to control temperatures, voltages, and alarms raised by several boards. The CPU poll from time to time the alarms and initiate corresponding foreseen actions. HK is connected to the telemetry system to receive basic commands namely those that allow to turn on-off most of the boards power supplies through relays.144 145 \subsection{Power supply and electrical architecture}146 The instrument runs autonomously thanks to a set of 60 battery cells providing 28 V (225 W during 24 H) to a set of Low-Voltage boards generating isolated-decoupled lower voltages to the PDM (HVPS and PDMB), DP (CPU,CLKB,GPSB,CCB and HK). The electrical architecture follows the EMC rules to prevent floating reference voltages induced by bad grounding (current ground loop effect).147 148 \section{Assembly and tests}152 The instrument behaviour is controlled at low frequency by the House-Keeping system (HK) which is a part of the DP.

Then the assembled instrument is t hen tested entirely.155 156 \subsection{ The optical tests}157 Even if the focal length of each lens and the combined focal length can be predicted by calculation, the real values resulting from the machining are poorly known, only at a few tens of centimetres accuracy. This is not enough to achieve a resolution smaller than the pixel size. Thus the relative distance between the three lenses and the Focal Surface has to be measured experimentally by using a large parallel UV beam along optical axis, sent over the first lens and measuring the Focal Length by adjusting the position of a CCD camera to get its position obtained for the narrowest focused spot.158 159 \subsection{Measuring the MAPMT performances}163 Each of the subsystems of the instrument are calibrated if necessary and tested before the full integration. Then the assembled instrument is tested entirely. 164 165 \subsection{Optical Tests} 166 Even if the focal length of each lens and the combined focal length can be predicted by calculation, real values resulting from machining are poorly known, only at a few tens of centimetres accuracy. This is not enough to achieve a resolution smaller than the pixel size. Thus the relative distance between the three lenses and the focal surface has to be measured experimentally. It is done by using a large parallel UV beam along optical axis, sent over the first lens and measuring the focal length by adjusting the position of a CCD camera to get its position obtained for the narrowest focused spot. 167 168 \subsection{Measuring MAPMT Performances} 160 169 Each channel of the MAPMT is characterised by its photodetection efficiency and by the gain of the phototubes. 161 Before associating sets of 4 MAPMTs into EC, the MAPMTs are sorted according their gain to get EC with MAPMT with close gain for the same HV(see~\cite{bib: PMT}).162 For this, the gain are initially measured with sensitive, commercial multi-channels charge converters (QDC) for a gain, being a factor three above its nominal value, for a HV around -1100~V. 163 Once the EC are assembled, the gain and the detection efficiency for each channels are measured with the ASICs at the nominal HV at-900~V.170 Before associating sets of 4 MAPMTs into EC, the MAPMTs are sorted according their gain. It allows to get EC with homogeneous MAPMT gain for the same HV (see~\cite{bib: PMT}). 171 \textbf{For this, gains are initially measured with sensitive, commercial multi-channels charge converters (QDC) for a gain, being a factor three above its nominal value, for a HV around -1100~V.} 172 Once ECs are assembled, gain and detection efficiency for each channels are measured with the ASICs at nominal HV of -900~V. 164 173 This operation is called the calibration. 165 Both types of measurements are done with by illuminating the photocathode with a LED (monitored with a NIST-photodiode). TheMAPMTs operates in single photoelectron mode~\cite{bib:Calib} to measure the single photoelectron spectrum for each of the 2304 pixels of the instrument camera.174 Both types of measurements are done by illuminating the photocathode with a LED (monitored with a NIST-photodiode). MAPMTs operates in single photoelectron mode~\cite{bib:Calib} to measure the single photoelectron spectrum for each of the 2304 pixels of the instrument camera. 166 175 This procedure allows to determine the exact high voltage to apply to the MAPMTs photocathodes of each EC Units. 167 176 168 \subsection{ The ASIC settings}169 The ASICs measure the single photoelectron spectra at nominal high voltage for each of the channels by performing S-curve (by performingseries of runs by ramping the discriminator voltage).170 Because the relative gain of the channels inside an EC-Unit differs slightly from one-another, the ASICs allow balancing the discrepancies between the channels. This done once the PDM is mounted and each MAPMT is associated to an ASIC. Then the nominal discriminator threshold at 1/3 of a photoelectron to apply to each ASIC is established.171 172 \subsection{T he Trigger tests}173 Once the PDM is mounted, including the PDMB, the L1 trigger algorithm performance is checked by illuminating the Focal Surface by thelight spot moving closely to speed-of-light, generated by an "old" persistent-screen scope.174 175 \subsection{ The Instrument tests}176 The final tests will be performed after the integration of all subsystems inside the instrument. A check of the correct final position of the lenses as well as that of the Focal Surface will be done by lighting up the first lens by a parallel UV beam along the optical axis. The size of the focused point on the Focal surface will be minimised by finely adjusting the position of the PDM at the sub-millimetre scale.177 At the end of the integration and at launch site, basic health tests on the electronics will be performed by illuminating uniformly directly the Focal Surface or the first lens by a LED-controlled, in single photon mode,177 \subsection{ASIC Settings} 178 The ASICs measure the single photoelectron spectra at nominal high voltage for each of the channels by performing S-curves (series of runs by ramping the discriminator voltage). 179 Because relative gain of channels inside an EC-Unit differs slightly from one-another, the ASICs allow balancing the discrepancies between channels. This is done once the PDM is mounted and each MAPMT is associated to an ASIC. Then the nominal discriminator threshold at 1/3 of a photoelectron to apply to each ASIC is established. 180 181 \subsection{Trigger Tests} 182 Once the PDM is mounted, including the PDMB, the L1 trigger algorithm performance is checked by illuminating the focal surface by a light spot moving closely to speed-of-light, generated by an "old" persistent-screen scope. 183 184 \subsection{Instrument Tests} 185 Final tests will be performed after integration of all subsystems inside the instrument.

The HK system will turn on one by one each of the subsystems while the monitoring parameterwill be downloaded at ground.185 When every parameters look s perfect, after having chosen the convenient configuration parameters for the ASICs and the Triggers, the balloon operator can launch the DAQ program running on the CPU. He will control basic run parameters, namely the background rate calculated by the PDMB. Conventionally the thresholds auto-adapt to the required L1-L2 rates unless the operator forces another mode of trigger settings. At any moment, the operator can shut down the instrument. This will be done when the balloon descent will be activated.193 At a given altitude reached by the balloon, a command will be issued to turn on the instrument.
