Or manually in separate terminals:
This will open a dedicated (blue) xterm for each of the processes above. It will also open a terminal with a connection to the TI. This will require a password which can be retrieved from one of the SVT DAQ experts.

Click 'Connect' on RC GUI. Click 'Configure' then select '8rces' as run type. Click 'Config' and select '/u1/cob_nfsmnt/host/coda/svtrce0.cnf'. Click 'OK'.
At the moment, during the 'Configure' stage, the configuration file svtrce0.cnf is being overwritten. In order for things to work properly, the overwritten file needs to be replaced with a backup after the configuration has taken place. To do this, issue the following command in a terminal:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo cp /u1/cob_nfs/host/coda/svtrce0.cnf.save /u1/cob_nfs/host/coda/svtrce0.cnf |

Go to TI and start sending triggers.

Option 2: Send software triggers from TS
Open new terminal.

Change trigger rate by modifying tidInt_test.c: tidSoftTrig(0xffff,0xFFFF,1);
Option 1: Send software triggers with new software from TS
$ cd /u1/daq & source setup_env.csh
$ ./rceScripts/connect_ti.csh (pw ask Pelle/Ryan/Ben)
$ cd ti/test
