The DCH-DCT common teststand is currently installed on
platform 27
How to run a DCH-DCT calibration from the command lines
(last updated on Nov. 14, 2007)
Note:The GUI doesn't work since the DCH Phase II upgrade took place in October 2005.
IR2 (using two terminals for the following)
- log into bfo-farm100:
setenv ODF_PLATFORM 127
cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/odf/DchTests
(If doesn't work, try: cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/trg/dctTest/)
srtpath
cd workdir
OepBasicReceiver -c 0x40016000 -i0 PARENT/bin/Linux24SL3_i386_gcc323/OepLoggingApp PARENT/OepFrameworkApps/OepLoggingPRV0.tcl
- log into bbr-srv07 (or bbr-farm00)
setenv ODF_PLATFORM 127
cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/odf/DchTests
(If doesn't work, try: cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/trg/dctTest/)
srtpath
CalControlProgram -c 0x40016000 -s DchCalCycles -k 6677
(previous key was 0x16d8 before DCH FEX deployed)
Test stand (using two terminals for the following)
- On falco or dali:
setenv ODF_PLATFORM 27
cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/odf/DchTests
(Or, cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/trg/dctTest/)
srtpath
cd workdir
OepBasicReceiver -c 0x3 -i0 PARENT/bin/$BFARCH/OepLoggingApp OepLoggingPRV0.tcl
- On falco or dali:
setenv ODF_PLATFORM 27
cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/odf/DchTests
(Or, cd /nfs/bbr-nfs03/detector/trg/dctTest/)
srtpath
cd workdir
CalControlProgram -c 0x3 -s DchCalCycles -k 6678
(previous key was 5900)
(to end/abort the program when the calibration doesn't end normally, use "q" to quit so that it ends nicely)
Note that you will need to remove or move the file bdbtest-1-C.xtc before taking a calibration run since it cannot be overwritten.
How to start a DCH-DCT calibration GUI
- connect to dali. (if in IR2, connect to a bbr-farm... machine)
- go to the DCH release directory : $BFROOT/detector/dch/DchTrigger/ (in IR2 $BFROOT/detector/dch/DchIR2/ )
- execute "source DchTestStand/setup.csh"
- execute "startCalib" : this pops up a window with plenty of green buttons.
Note:
I). IR2: If this doesn't work, first make sure that you have a file named "override-group" under the .hepix directory in your home area, and this file should contain the following four lines:
bbr-dev ir2
bbr-srv ir2
bbr-con ir2
bbr-farm ir2
II). TestStand: (Feb.2005) Before running startCalib, here is the temporary solution suggested by Mike Kelsey till Terry Hung and Len Moss have fixed the problem:
unsetenv SAVEPATH
source /usr/local/lib/hepix/central_env.csh
How to run a DCH-DCT calibration with the GUI
The calibration GUI is the one with plenty of green button.
- click on "Trig Calibration". This pops up a window with plenty of purple button. You can close the GUI with green buttons (that will avoid you start a DCH calibration by error).
- Click on "Run Calibration".
- Once the calibration is done, don't forget to type enter in the windows that mention it
- To view the latest calibration xtc, click on "View Calibration". This will launch L3TDisplay.
The calibration xtc files are stored in calibration/dch_calib-NNN.xtc
where NNN is a number. The last calibration corresponds to the biggest number.
To connect to the ROMs (ROC32 for DCT, ROC26 for DCH),
run startXyplex.
The trigger group has a release directory in $BFROOT/detector/trg/Interface/DchDct/DchDctRel8.6.1/
This directory has not been updated for the DCH-DCT calibration. However the L3TDisplay compiled here
is still in use.
