Abbreviated fcgui reference/howto

Reformated from ~boyd/FCGUI.HOWTO.

Connect to the ZPD ROM from an IR2 machine (e.g., bbr-dev111):

  xyplex -f odf-dct1-2

Run fcgui and eventtest from bbr-farm06:

  ssh bbr-farm06
  cd $BFROOT/detector/dch/DchTrigger
  source DchTestStand/setup.csh
  setenv ODF_PLATFORM 127

  fcgui -c 0x40000000 &
  eventtest -c 0x40000000 -i 0

To take data parasitically, replace the eventtest line with:

  OepBasicReceiver -c 0x40000000 -i 0 OepLoggingApp ~boyd/oepLoggingData.tcl
The datafile will appear in /nfs/bbr-srv02/dataflow/7F/06/app/detector/trg Don't let it get too large, and move it out of there as soon as you are done since this is the same disk as real datataking, and people get really grumpy if you fill up that disk...

FCGUI arguments:

Key Trigger Mask What
0xBBC 0x30ffffff Colliding beams
0x910 0x10002001 Cosmics
0x910 0x04000000 Pulsar
0x910 0x0 Manual L1A


To run at the ZPD teststand:
  • Use dali instead of bbr-farm06
  • Use ODF_PLATFORM 27 instead of 127
  • Use cratemask 0x10 instead of 0x40000000
i.e.,
  ssh dali
  ...
  setenv ODF_PLATFORM 27
  fcgui -c 0x10 &
  eventtest -c 0x10 -i 0
