ESTB DAQ Configuration
The Caladium telescope control and DAQ is handled by the National Instrument crate which collects data via the TLU with data producers from the telescope itself and the DUT. The DUT readout is upgraded to a simpler arrangement with just the HSIO-II controlled by the ESA-USER02 server node via a direct private ethernet link. Due to the very short ESTB bunches, there is no need for additional triggers within the bunch and the DAQ is simply driven by the bunch crossing trigger. The SWH-B061-NW01 switch in the middle of the ESA hall support the ESA local network 127.27.104.* where both the NI crate and ESA-USR02 reside. The EUDAQ console PC AR-EUDAQ in the ESA Control Room and several other nodes e.g. AR-ESAUX2 are connected to the public subnet 127.27.100.* on the same switch, but can also see the local subnet 127.27.104.*. The connection from the NI crate and ESA_USER02 to the switch are routed through a patch panel inside the tunnel near the optical table.

While the DUT readout can be of variety of ways, the RCE readout setup is provided for at least ATLAS pixel users as a standard utility. As of JanApr/2016, the DUT RCE readout is still upgrading from old the Gen-1 TCE RCE + HSIO setup to a simpler HSIO-II setup, with the dedicated esa-user02 Sun sever next to server residing at the end of the beam tunnel near the EUDET area for as the DUT RCE readout host.

The operations steps of calibrations are explained briefly in the RCE maul manual page of 2014/Oct test Beam Twiki, while the functionality details of the calibrations are described in the ATLAS pixel calibration manual. The default calibration/config directory on esa-user02 (as of Jan/2016) is /home/tbslac/testbeam20160112 where DUT modules have their calibration constants under the folders with module names.
