h1. DAQ

h2. Starting CODA

DAQ is running on simonadaq computer in coda account in the vnc session number 1.

To open VNC, either start VNC from a computer at the counting house through ssh or make a ssh tunnel if you are offsite

Example :

   ssh -L5901:locahost:portnumber username@hallgw.jlab.org     ( use a port number not in used on hallgw and there are some limitation on the port range I think between 10000 and 30000 should be ok)

after from hallgw

   ssh -Lportnumber:localhost:5901 cdaq@simonadaq 

then open a vnc locally on your computer : vncviewer -shared localhost:1 ( ask Junqi or Sylvester for the vnc password )

To start CODA from scratch, login as coda

type startcoda

that will open the CODA windows

If the ROC is not started alread, ssh root@hallcsc-1 and type ./startroc1

in Run Control GUI, go to platform and connect.

Then choose the FADC configuration and just start a run.

To change the FADC parameters,

ssh to hallcsc-1 as root

go to /root/linuxvme/fadc/rol

and edit fadc_list.c

once done compile with :

 make fadc_list.so

and redownload in CODA to take the changes into account

I saw from time to time error in FADC ROC window about scanmask, usually stopping the run and redownloading fixes the issue.

h2. Scalers

To start the scaler server :

go in scaler_server dirextory

launch

 scaSrvrLinux

and after

h2. Powercycling the crate 

 telnet  129.57.168.242 2003

 type CAEN

and a menu should appear

     C.A.E.N.  A8160 VME8100 Crate Controller    V1.05     

     B O A R D   M E N U 

     Crate           PS & Fan Status   

     General         General Status    

     Update          PS Firmware Update

     Quit            Abandon program

Type C

and then you will see fan status and you can turn the crate on or off with O

h1. FADC data analysis

on cdaq account

go to /home/cdaq/tlgc/FADC_decode

and run FADCcom program

you need to copy the CODA file from simonadaq to /net/cdaq/cdaql1data/cdaq/tlgc/data ( from simonadaq : scp fadc_runnumber.dat cdaq@cdaql2:tlgc/data/ )

if you open the rootfile you will see the different directories corresponding to the channels decoded.

h1. HV

h2. Access HV crate.

*The HV crate can be remotely accessed through the port server port 2002 to access the port: telnet  129.57.168.242 2002

*To end a telnet session type:"CTRL-]" then quit

*If someone else is connected to the 2002 if you get :

<pre>

   Trying 129.57.168.242...

telnet: connect to address 129.57.168.242: Connection refused

</pre>

*To force a connect you must first kill the 2002 connection by the following steps:

> # telnet  129.57.168.242 ( login: root password:dbps)

> # at "#>" prompt type: kill tty=2

> #  at "#>" prompt type: "CTRL-]" then quit

*press the "U" ( for update) if  you see the following:

<pre>

16:40:40 104% telnet 129.57.168.242 2002

Trying 129.57.168.242...

Connected to 129.57.168.242.
