------------

To start coda:

* VNC server should be running on clrlpc:1

* To connect: vncviewer clrlpc:1 (account/password is a-compton)

* Open terminal, run: kcoda, then startcoda

* Configuration is vtpOnly (To include FADC scalers use vtpScalers)

------------

Readout/trigger configuration files:

* FADC: clrlpc:/home/a-compton/params/fadc250/solidcer.cnf

* VTP:  clrlpc:/home/a-compton/params/vtp/esbvtp.cnf

3. Flash ADC scalers

The FADC250 modules have internal scalers.  These scalers can be read both during data taking, or when a CODA run is not in progress.  Scaler server software has been installed on solidesbdaq so that the scalers can be included in the data stream, read by the getscalers command or displayed with xscalers.

To start the scaler server, type "startscalerserver".  To stop the scaler server, type "killscalerserver".  These commands can be run on clrlpc or solidesbdaq.

To get a text dump of the scalers, run "getscalers solidesbdaq" from clrlpc or the cdaq account on a Hall C machine.  The last line of the output is a counter running at 60 Hz which can be used as a time base to calculate rates.

The command "go_xscaler" will bring up an Xscaler display of the FADC scalers.  The mapfile is in /home/a-compton/saw/xscaler/scaler.map on clrlpc.

To include scalers in the data stream, use the vtpScalers configuration instead of vtpOnly.
