map electronic addresses ( AFCK address, chip id, channel id in each Get4 chip ) to geometry: sector, z-plane, counter, strip, side

variables:
octet                  nAfcks                          // number AFCK boards
unsigned short    nChannels                     // number of channels per AFCK board

unsigned short    afckAddress[12]            // MAC address of AFCK board
octet                  sector[12]                     // eTOF sector linked to the AFCK

unsigned short    channelNumber[ 576 ]    // channel number ( up to 9 RPCs with 64 channels each are connected to one AFCK ) = chipId * 10 + channelId
unsigned short    geometryId[ 576 ]          // eTOF plane, counter, strip and side corresponding to each channel
                                                            // geometry id = zPlane * 10000 + counter * 1000 + strip * 10 + side

frequency:

after initial upload, this table will only be updated when electronic boards need to be exchanged
or some error in the cable connections are found ( potentially once per RHIC run or less )
