HCAL DAQ Software Setup
Location | VME Hostname | ROC Name | VTP Hostname | VTP ROC Name | VTP 10G Hostname |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Bottom | intelsbshcal1 | hcalROC16 | hcalvtp1 | tbd | hcalvtp1-s1 |

login / ROC environment
The login environment (bash) for sbs-onl is shared for intelsbshcal1, intelsbshcal2. hcalvtp1, hcalvtp2.
Home directory
The home directory is linked to the hcal subdirectory of the sbs-onl home directory on adaqfs. That is:
/home/sbs-onl -> /adaqfs/home/sbs-onl/hcal
Environment
Below we show the main variables that are critical to run the DAQ. Others important ones will to be derived from these.
CODA = /adaqfs/home/sbs-onl/coda/3.10_devel CODA_SCRIPTS = /home/sbs-onl/coda_scripts LINUXVME = /home/sbs-onl/linuxvme SESSION = hcal EXPID = SBSDAQ FADC250_PARAMS = ${HOME}/cfg
VME
Configuration for the VME modules, readout lists for the CODA ROC, and auxiliary libraries specific to the modules in these crates.
configuration files
Configuration files used by the DAQ (ROC, or other programs) are in here
${HOME}/cfg/
f1tdc
Configuration for the f1tdc modules in hcal2
f1tdc/hcal_f1tdc_3125.cfg
fadc250
Configuration for the fadc250 modules in hcal1 and hcal2 (with and without Trigger supervisor)
fadc250/hcal_ts.cnf fadc250/hcal.cnf
mpv904
Configuration for the mpv904 DAC for threshold control
mpv904/mpv904_DAC_Voltage_Set_Values.txt
readout lists
Readout lists used for standalone (hcal1 + hcal2) or in trigger supervisor mode. There are located in
${HOME}/rol
hcal1_list.c hcal2_list.c
They are built using the Makefile
make
Or forced build (like make clean;make, but shorter)
make -B
aux libraries/programs
Some libraries and programs specific to the HCAL DAQ are found in here
${HOME}/linuxvme/
f1tdc-v1
Library to support the configuration and readout of the JLAB V1 F1TDC module.
f1tdc-v1/
hcal
Library to set output levels on the TI output ports. I think this is used for an LED pulser?
hcal_pulser/
mpv904
Library to Configure and set DAC output levels to control detector thresholds.
mpv904/
