CODA scripts

Frontend scripts to use on tedbbdaq

startCoda

  • executes each CODA component (platform, rcgui, PEB, 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

coda_scripts

- github page
- Scripts locations:
  • bbgem@tedbbdaq
- ~/sbs-onl/coda_scripts/
  • sbs-onl@intelbbgem
- ~/coda_scripts/

Useful stand-alone programs

remex

log into any machine first with the sbs-onl (e.g.) 

 ssh sbs-onl@tedbbdaq

$CODA_BIN/remex <remexHost> <function call>

  • Execute a function call on the specified remote Host
- Run without arguments for usage

Usage for setting trigger source (BBGEM only)

  • TSINPUT

remex bbgemROC19 "rocSetTriggerSource(0)"

  • Random Pulser

remex bbgemROC19 "rocSetTriggerSource(1)"

  • Fixed Pulser

remex bbgemROC19 "rocSetTriggerSource(2)"

MPD programs

log into the VME Controller first with the sbs-onl (e.g.) 

 ssh sbs-onl@intelbbmpd2

mpdStatus

$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/mpdStatus <mpd slot number>

  • Show the status of MPD at slot <mpd slot number>
- Run without <mpd slot number> to scan all slots.

mpdApvConfig (formerly i2c_test)

$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/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

$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/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

$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/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.
- Described in https://hallaweb.jlab.org/dvcslog/SBS/251

RunUserFpga

$LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/firmware/RunUserFpga -s <mpd_vme_slot> (-f)

  • Change between user and factory FPGA image.
- Described in https://hallaweb.jlab.org/dvcslog/SBS/251

SSP programs

log into the SSP crate first with the sbs-onl 

 ssh sbs-onl@intelbbgem

sspMpdStatus

~/linuxvme/ssp/test/sspMpdStatus <ssp slot number>

  • Show the status of SSP at slot <sp slot number>, as well as their fiber connected MPDs
- Run without <ssp slot number> to scan all slots.

sspMpdInit

~/linuxvme/ssp/test/sspMpdInit

  • Same function as ssp_mpd_setup() in the readout list without running CODA

sspFirmwareUpdate

~/linuxvme/ssp/firmware/sspFirmwareUpdate <firmware .bin file> <SSP VME ADDRESS>

  • Update SSP at specified VME address.

VTP programs

log into the VTP first with the sbs-onl. All programs are in $PATH. 

 ssh sbs-onl@sbsvtp3

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...

other VME programs

log into the VME controller first with the sbs-onl 

 ssh sbs-onl@intelbbgem

tiLibTest

$CODA_VME/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

vme_display

$CODA_VME_BIN/vme_display <VME Address> <read size in bytes>

  • Display the read value of specified size from the specified VME address.
- Run without arguments for usage

vme_modmem

$CODA_VME_BIN/vme_modmem <VME Address> <read/write size in bytes>

  • Modify the value of specified size of the specified VME address.
- Run without arguments for usage


platform on tedbbdaq

log into tedbbdaq first with the sbs-onl 

 ssh sbs-onl@tedbbdaq

sudo systemctl restart platform

sudo systemctl restart platform

  • Restart the CODA 3 platform systemd service.
- Can be run from any account in the 'coda' group on tedbbdaq
- bbshower, bbhodo, bbgem, daq

MPD/SSP/APV Config files

  • Config files for configuration of APVs and MPD / SSP can be found in
- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/
  • The SSP readout list (mpd5_ssp_list.so) uses
- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/ssp_config.txt
- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/ssp_apv_default.txt
  • The MPD readout list (mpd_list.so, mpd_slave_list.so) uses
- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/mpd_config.txt
- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/mpd_apv_default.txt
  • Both use common files to configure the MPDs/APVs given the MPD's slot number. For example, slot 5 MPD:
- sbs-onl@intelbbgem:~/bbgem-cfg/bbgem_crate_1/MPD_vmeSlot_5.cfg
  • Programs useful for debugging config file format
- $LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/mpdConfigTest <config filename>
- $LINUXVME/mpd/libsrc/test/sspMpdConfigTest <config filename>

Superbigbite Logbook Entries
