SVT Hybrid EPICS

Instructions to run on hpstracker in group C

The epics setup for HPS has been checked to run on the zed board but is developed mainly on the hps tracker machine in group C. 

...

/home/tracker/pelle/epics/svt_epics/example

and is currently on SVN: 

svn://svn.freehep.org/hps/epics/trunk

NOTE: I should fix the SVN so that I can commit our SVT code separately from the IOC code which enables the transition between the arm and intel environments to be smooth. Right now I only checked out the interesting folders (src and db stuff) into the hpstracker and work on those ignoring the setup scripts that was originally checked in from the arm setup on the zed board. 

Instructions

Start IOC

Setup EPICS and MEDM environment (part of the DAQ setup script):

$ cd /u1/software/software_new

$ source setup_env.csh

Setup IOC

Go to the IOC base directory:

$ cd /home/tracker/pelle/epics/

...

example/

$ cd /home/tracker/pelle/epics/svt_epics/

source 

/example/iocBoot/iocmyexampleApp

$./st.cmd

This should run the epics IOC and you should see output to the screen where it queries the socket for information. Depending on the debug level (see below) there might be lots of output here. If there is no control server running or it's not configured properly (see below) you should see it retrying to connect. 

Setting up the control server

Power the FEB

Start the control server and GUI

$ cd /u1/software/software_new

$ source setup_env.csh

$ ./bin/frontEndTestGui & 

Notes

6/24/14

• Alarm handler
  • Add two hybrid temperature and the front end board temperature to alarm handler. 
     
• Front End power supply GUI:
  • Can we add a button at the top that turns ALL ON/OFF?
  • Also we might want to make a GUI that has only monitoring and ON/OFF and small expert GUI’s for each FE board where we can set voltages? Similar to for the hybrid.
  • Can we link the ALL ON/OFF so that ANAN and ANAP is turned on at the same time followed by DIG  (not exact delay is not critical). 
  • The individual “LV ON/OFF” shouldn’t be linked together.
