- Note that these are soft-links to
- - /adaqfs/home/sbs-onl/sbsgem/coda_scripts/
Frontend scripts to use on eel124gemdaq
startCoda
- executes each CODA component (platform, rcgui, PEB, ER, 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.
startPEB.sh
- script that launches coda_emu_peb. restarts it when it is killed.
startER.sh
- script that launches coda_emu_er. restarts it when it is killed.
startROC.sh
- script for sbsvme31, sbsvme24 that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from the coda_component_table.cfg
startFPGA.sh
- script on sbsvtp2, sbsvtp4 that launches coda_roc with a ROC name determined from the coda_component_table.cfg
kill_remotes.sh
- kills off all start*.sh processes.
Useful stand-alone programs

ssh sbs-onl@sbsvme30 cd ~/mpd-test/
mpdStatus
mpdStatus <mpd slot number>
- Show the status of MPD at slot
<mpd slot number>
- - Run without
<mpd slot number>

mpdApvConfig (formerly i2c_test)
mpdApvConfig <mpd slot number> <configfile>
- 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(0)
mpdI2CScan
mpdI2CScan <mpd slot number>
- Scan i2c addresses for any APVs from MPD in specified slot number
- - Configure those found APVs with some default register values
- - Display the APV registers

mpdFiberStatus <mpd slot number>
- Display the status of the fiber transceiver
ProgramEpcs
$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/firmware/ProgramEpcs -s <mpd_vme_slot> -v <firmware .jic file>
- Update MPD firmware at specified VME address.

- Change between user and factory FPGA image.
- - Described in https://hallaweb.jlab.org/dvcslog/SBS/251
VTP programs
log into the VTP first with the sbs-onl.
ssh sbs-onl@sbsvtp3 cd ~/vtp-test/
vtpMpdStatus
vtpMpdStatus
- Show the status the VTP as well as its connected MPDs (those found with channel up)
vtpMpdInit
vtpMpdInit cfgFileName
- Initialize VTP and their attached MPDs and APVs (those found with channel up)
- If cfgFileName is provided, use it to define the MPD and APV to initialize
vtpMpdFiberStatus
vtpFiberStatus
- Show the status of all fiber channels on the VTP
- - executes
vtpMpdPrintStatus(0, 0)
vtpMpdSampleMode
vtpMpdSampleMode
- Dump raw adcs samples to file.
- work in progress...
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)

- 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

Added /site remote with (e.g. jvme, devel branch)
cd jvme git remote add site /site/coda/contrib/devel/jvme git pull site devel
CODA environment setup script
Using BASH, source the environment setup script:
source ~/SBS-GEM-Cleanroom/env/setupCODA
Stuff to finish
Replace hallavme12pc
- Install OS
- Use same mount scripts used on hallavme12pc
