Contribution To The MTD-DAQ ETL Software

This report serves as an overview of my contributions and insights gained during my involvement in the MTD-DAQ project, specifically focusing on the Endcap Timing Layer (ETL) software within the MIP Timing Detector (MTD) at CERN's Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment. Through a brief exploration of the ETL's hardware components, data flow, and software functionalities, this report aims to provide readers with a concise summary of my work while placing it within the broader context of the MTD-DAQ project. The report covers essential aspects of chip control, configuration, and software functionality, highlighting my journey as a summer intern.
