DAQ files are in a-onl account

booting CPU / portserver

 portserver bbts-tlab

To connect to a CPU :

 telnet bbts-tlab 200x

 bbsfi

To reprogram ROC1 bootparameters you can use the python script :

 progROC1

it is located in /home/a-onl

Killing the booting

when booting the ROCs go wrong we can kill all them and start again

    - Telnet telnet bbts-tlab
    - Login :  type root
    - Password: dbps
    - Type : kill tty = x (x is the telnet we are using)
    - Quit

=> Start booting again

Reset Computer

whenever we restart computer need to do:

 -Type : msqld & 
 -Source dosetupcoda

Fastbus test programs

Location on srcdaq

 /home/a-onl/bbite/test/fastbus

To load , type on the CPU :

 cd "/home/a-onl/bbite/test/fastbus"
 ld < test_1877.o
 test_1877 slot_number

Fastbus detector map

ROC	Slot	Module	Detector
1	9	1877	VDC

Fastbus readout lists

Files are located in

/home/a-onl/bbite/crl

there is one file for each ROCs

readout line 1: bb_sfi2(1).o readout line 2: the same event_list_ppc.o

To compile a crl file do :

 makelist filename ppc

CODA

coda website

https://coda.jlab.org/drupal/

https://coda.jlab.org/drupal/content/install-instructions

Data analyzer

Install root :

  https://root.cern.ch/drupal/

Install analyzer :

 http://hallaweb.jlab.org/podd/index.html#docs
 http://hallaweb.jlab.org/podd/download/analyzer-1.5.28.tar.gz

Start CODA

Follow these steps to open the CODA:

   1. Open a terminal. 
   2. Source dosetupcoda.
   3. type rcplatform.
   4. open other terminal, source dosetupcoda.
   5. type codamaster to open other windown.
   6. In codamaster has runcontrol used to take data.

Look at raw data file

To look at raw data file we need to look up manual to see how the module work and open the raw data file

   - Open a terminal 
   - Source dosetupcoda
   - Type : xcefdmp
   - View File
   - Data Source

Testing TDCs

Following

   1. Open CODA
   2. Take a Run
   3. Replay the raw data
   4. Look at the root file

=> Do plots with root file, plots will show the number of slot we have TDCs and the number of channel we are taking data on that TDC.

=> Make table for

   - Run number
   - Number of the slot 
   - Model of TDC
   - Number of the channel

V1495 programming

Use the quartus software

/home/a-onl/altera/10.1sp1/quartus/bin/quartus

The fan program is in :

/home/a-onl/V1495/V1495_User_Demo_QuartusII_Project_2_0

Open the project :

/home/a-onl/V1495/V1495_User_Demo_QuartusII_Project_2_0/FIT/v1495usr_demo.qpf

and modify coinc_reference.vhd

To program :

open programmer

and hit start button after compilation if needed
