2.  To access the Omega gas pressure controller, use the command
63
64 9 Alexandre Camsonne
go_solidgas
65
66
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.
67
68
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.

70
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.
71
72
To install the software on another account, open the file browser and navigate to
73
74
C:\Windows\Users\Public\Platinum Firmware…\Platinum_Configureator…
75
76
and click the setup icon.  This will install the Platinum program on the desktop.

h1. Flash ADC Scalers
85
86
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.
87
88
To start the scaler server, type "startscalerserver". To stop the scaler server, type "killscalerserver". These commands can be run on clrlpc or solidesbdaq.
89
90
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.
91
92
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.
93
94
To include scalers in the data stream, use the vtpScalers configuration instead of vtpOnly.
