CODA scripts
These scripts are located in
$HOME/bin/
Frontend scripts to use on hallavme12pc
startCoda
- executes each CODA component (platform, rcgui, PEB, all ROCs) in a separate xterm
restartStuff
- kills and restarts the PEB and ROCs. The xterms are not killed with this script.
kcoda
- kills all CODA components
Backend scripts, called by the frontend scripts
remote_vme
- script that restarts an ssh connection if it is closed.
PEB_hallavme12pc
- script that launches coda_emu_peb. restarts it when it is killed.
ROC_hallavme14pc
- script that uses remote_vme to launch SBS_startroc.sh on hallavme14pc
ROC_sbsvme25
- script that uses remote_vme to launch SBS_startroc.sh on sbsvme25
SBS_startroc.sh
- script on sbsvme25, hallavme14pc that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from it's hostname.
kill_remotes.sh
- kills off ROC_hallavme14pc, ROC_sbsvme25, and coda_roc on hallavme14pc and sbsvme25.
Useful stand-alone programs
remex
$CODA/Linux-i686/bin/remex <remexHost> <function call>
- Execute a function call on the specified remote Host
- - Run without arguments for usage
tiLibTest
SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/ti/test/tiLibTest <TI slot number>
- Test triggering capabilities of the local TI.
- - Puts the local TI in master mode (with no slaves).
- - Accepts triggers either from Front Panel TSinputs or Internal Random Pulser
i2c_test
SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/mpd/libsrc/test/i2c_test <mpd slot number>
- Test the initialization and configuration of the APVs in the specified MPD.
- - Does the same initialization that is done in
mpd_list.c:rocDownload()
- - Also attempts the readback of the APV registers with
mpdApvStatus(0xffff)
vme_display
SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/bin/vme_display <VME Address> <read size in bytes>
- Display the read value of specified size from the specified VME address.
- - Run without arguments for usage
vme_modmem
SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/linuxvme/bin/vme_modmem <VME Address> <read/write size in bytes>
- Modify the value of specified size of the specified VME address.
- - Run without arguments for usage
mpdApvDecode
bryan/mpdApvDecode/mpdApvDecode -f <evio filename>
- Decode the raw data from the MPDs/APVs
- - Local compilation of JeffersonLab/mpdApvDecode
- - Command-line options
-m N set max event number to N -s N skip events until N -e show only errors -f filename set input to filename -o filename redirect all output to filename -C filename use filename instead of decode.cfg for configuration

- Mount
atedf3:/data/disk2/SBS
to/mnt/SBS
- - Uses autofs.
/etc/auto.SBS
should be included in a line in/etc/auto.master
- Mount
- Restart procedure if not mounted after reboot
- Option 1: (preferred)
- - logout of coda
- - login as root
cp /etc/auto.master_SBS /etc/auto.master
service puppet stop
service autofs restart
- - login normally as coda
- Option 2:
- - logout of coda
- - login as root
