HCAL DAQ Software Setup

Network and ROC configuration

Location	VME Hostname	ROC Name	VTP Hostname	VTP ROC Name	VTP 10G Hostname
Bottom	intelsbshcal1	hcalROC16	hcalvtp1	tbd	hcalvtp1-s1
Top	intelsbshcal2	hcalROC17	hcalvtp2	tbd	hcalvtp2-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
