Setting up CODA to run
First, the event builder, event recorder and ET ring can be started by issuing the following commands from a terminal:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
cd /u1/coda_rth
./start_coda_xterm.csh |
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.
| Info | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| |||||
Running the script start_coda_xterm.csh is equivalent to running the following commands with some additional options:
|
Starting from scratch
Open new terminal

Open new terminal

Once the event builder, event recorder and ET ring have started up successfully, the run control can be started as follows:
| Code Block | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
sudo tcsh
su -l **** (DAQ expert user name)
cd /u1/coda_rth/
./start_coda_xterm_rc.csh |

Connect to DTM/DPM and start ROCs.
There is a script that pops up all windows in xterms:
$ ./start_eb
Press 'connect' on RC GUI.
Open new terminal
$ cd /u1/coda_rth
$ ./start_ebConnect to DTM/DPM and start ROCs rce.csh
Or manually in separate tabs/terminals
$ cd /u1/daq
$ source setup_env.csh
$ ./rceScripts/connect_host <slot> <rce> <id> <?> <?> (FIX NAMES OF ID's)
Start control server on DPM7 if not already running
$ /mnt/host/coda/run_roc
Start rce GUI if not running:
$ cd /u1/daq
$ $ ./rceScripts/start_gui.csh
If it fails to connect check that server is running on dpm7 and restart if needed
$ ssh dpm7connect_host 1 3 2
$ cd /mnt/host/daydaq
$ ./rceScripts/start_server
Start rce GUI
server.csh
Click 'Connect' on RC GUI. Click 'Configure' then select '8rces' as run type. Click 'Config' and select '/mnt/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 |
Click 'Download'. 'Prestart' button appears if things worked.
Go to TI and Reset (but don't start sending triggers)
Click 'Prestart'.
Click 'Go'.
Go to TI and start sending triggers.
Trigger setup
$ cd /u1/daq
$ & source setup_env.csh csh
$ ./rceScripts/start_gui.shconnect_ti.csh (pw ask Pelle/Ryan/Ben)
$ cd ti/test
$ ./tiLibTest
Option 3: Send software generated triggers with new software from TS from function generator

Run TS
Send software generated triggers:
$ cd /u1/daq & soruce setup_env.csh
$ ./rceScripts/connect_ti.csh (pw ask Pelle/Ryan/Ben)
$ cd /home/daq/linuxvme/tid/src
$ ./tidInt_test
Change trigger rate by modifying tidInt_test.c: tidSoftTrig(0xffff,0xFFFF,1);
