For testing and optimizing key elements of the KM3NeT data acquisition system, a test-bench has been set up at the INFN Sezione di Bologna. In this setup, a full detection unit is simulated, to test the optical network, time synchronisation, and on-shore computing resources. A fundamental tool in the test-setup is a dedicated electronic board: “the OctoPAES”.
Based on an ALTERA Max10 CPLD, they are designed to deterministically emulate the optical and acoustic signals recorded by the underwater detectors. They allow to stress-test the acquisition system and validate its performance with realistic data. If properly configured, the optical data provided by the OctoPAES can be combined to emulate the signals of a through-going muon or other calibration events. In this contribution we present the OctoPAES boards and some of their use cases at the test-bench.
