ROC Configuration File to User Event

Here we'll describe the user event 137 structure that contains the configuration files used by the ROCs to initialize various modules and settings.

Example User Event 137 Structure

c source code in readout list

 size_t maxsize = 3 * 1024 * 1024;
 int nwords = 0, inum=0;

 UEOPEN(137,BT_BANK,0);

 nwords = rocFile2Event("/daqfs/daq_setups/vtp-mpdro/cfg/davtp3.config",
			 (uint8_t *)rol->dabufp,
			 ROCID, inum++, maxsize);
 rol->dabufp += nwords;
 nwords = rocFile2Event("/daqfs/daq_setups/vtp-mpdro/cfg/pedestals/daq_ped_bb_gem_run10975.dat",
			 (uint8_t *)rol->dabufp,
			 ROCID, inum++, maxsize);
 rol->dabufp += nwords;

 UECLOSE;
