Can check light levels going into the xpm by looking at EPICS variables like this:

XPM Timing Links Not Locking

If XPM links don't lock, here are some past causes:

  • check that transceivers (especially QSFP, which can be difficult) are fully plugged in.
  • for opal detectors:
    • use devGui to toggle between LCLS1/LCLS2 timing (we should put this in the opal drp exeMatt has added this to the opal config script, but to the part that executes at startup time)
    • hit TxPhyReset in the devGui (this should now be done in the opal drp executable)
  • for timing system detectors: run "kcuSim -s -d /dev/datadev_1", this should also be done when one runs a drp process on the drp node (to initialize the timing registers).  the drp executable in this case doesn't need any transitions.
  • hit Tx/Rx reset on xpmpva gui (AMC tabs).
