    ssh -XY pixel@esadutlbnl1    (ask Timon or Ben for the password or don't close the terminal(pw=Testbeam)
    cd yarr-eudet/eudaqYarrEudaqProducer
bin/yarr-fe65p2-producer -n YARR -r 172.27.100.8./start_1.sh

In addition to starting the producer, one needs to modify the DUTMask in the .conf.  Add +4 to include YARR.  There is no need to add anything else because the configuration is currently hard-coded into the producer (and the Latency = 43 and Trig Count = 3 seem good so there should not be a need to touch this).

To fully kill this producer if it gets stuck or when terminating the run control, do a ctrl+Z to move it to the background and then kill in the usual way with ps ux | grep yarr.  Then, kill -9 <pid> where <pid> is the id of the producer from the ps uxaux.

After stopping a run, there will be some offline plots in ~/yarr-eudet/eudaq/data.  There is also a simple script for offline analysis:

...

    ../src/bin/read_rawData data<file>.raw #<file> is <Dutname>_<runnumber>

 

On occasion, you the trigger counter will increase, but no events will be built.  This could be because the chip is in a funny state.  We can reconfigure the chip and power cycle:

to run a digital scan

    cd 
cd Yarr/src
./test_digi_1.sh
qpdfview data/last_scan/*.p*

check that they look okay (note that syncrhonous is off).  To power cycle

    minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB1
ctrl-a z
ctrl-a e
++addr 3

to check what you are talking to:

   *IDN?

should be Agilent Technologies ... To turn it off:

   OUTPUT OFF
   OUTPUT ON
   ctrl-a z x
