Should your detector not configure, it is either not turned on, needs power cycling or some cable is not patched correctly. Please let CDS folks know which detectors you would like to use so we can test them beforehand.
Run a detector without the DAQ
Some detectors have a stand-alone version of the DAQ process that can be run on the server the detector is connected to. This is the case for the Jungfrau, the Alvium and the Zyla for example. This is very helpful to decouple DAQ problem from detector setup issues.
The binaries can be found in /cds/group/pcds/dist/pds/current/build/pdsapp/bin/x86_64-rhel7-opt/. The detectors can be tested in free-run and triggered mode (the DAQ must be running for that). The stand-alone processes take similar argument as the DAQ process. It is a good idea to check the cnf and pass the same arguments.
Example:
| Warning |
|---|
These processes should be run as <hutch>opr. It would run as yourself, but sometimes the process creates files and this lead to permission issues when running the DAQ with the opr account. |
