Overal DAQ info¶

Hosname :

solidesbdaq : intel CPU
esbvtp : VTP, on portserver telnet 129.57.168.242 2002
clrlpc : main DAQ computer - run the daq in a-compton account there will be a VNC server on :1 to run the DAQ
esbvxs: VXS crate remote control power, use with a browser to power cycle the crate remotely

DAQ is running in a-compton account on clrlpc:1 ( VNC session 1 ) please run DAQ from there

From any computer in the counting hosue : vncviewer -shared clrlpc:1

Use vtpOnly config for data taking
Use vtpScalers config for data taking with FADC scalers readout
Use vtpPulser to take a run with random trigger from TI only

If DAQ is not running you can start it with the startcoda script.

Calo FADC channel each set to 2V
Cer FADC channel each set to 0.5V
Scin FADC channel each set to 1V

HV info¶

To access the high voltage controls, do

telnet hctsv11 2001

from any counting house computer.

Gas controller info¶

2. To access the Omega gas pressure controller, use the command

go_solidgas

from the cdaq account on a counting house computer. This will start a VNC session to ccsparew11, the PC with the USB connection to the gas pressure controller.

If the PC is not logged in, do SHIFT-CTRL-ALT-DELETE (or press F8 and select the ctrl-alt-delete menu item). Any JLab account can login.

The software to talk to the Omega controller is “Platinum” and should be an icon on the desktop if it has been installed. It has only been installed for Mark and my accounts.

To install the software on another account, open the file browser and navigate to

C:\Windows\Users\Public\Platinum Firmware…\Platinum_Configureator…

and click the setup icon. This will install the Platinum program on the desktop.

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.
