If everything is run smoothly, once you brought up the overall DAQ with EUDET through EUDAQ run control node ar-eudaq, you should see the race data producing show up in the producer list. If something seems RCE producer seems to be not behaving correctly even upon restarting, there is some possibility that due to interference with some other program (e.g. calibration server) is still running on the RCE . You can logon to the RCE to reboot it for a clean start. The HSIO-II RCE ethernet port is known to the ESADUTDAQ1 server simply with a hostname of rce0:

Before taking an serious beam runs, it is advisable check the modules through calibration. The most commonly used are DIGITAL_TEST and THRESHOLD_SCAN. Following the same steps as DAQ to logon to esadutdaq1 with . For cold start, two windows are needed.

  • In window-1, logon to HSIO-II RCE to start the calibration server:
     ssh root@rce0    (pw=root)
     rce> export PATH=/root/pixelrce/bin:$PATH; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/root/pixelrce/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
     rce> calibserver 

This can be left running even during regular data taking as long as noone else is trying to run calibGui at the same time. If this is known to be running, there is no need for opening this window to the RCE to restart it each time. In fact a duplicate restart will abort by alerting you that another calibserver is already running.    

  • In window-2,  start the calibration GUI on esadutdaq1:
     calibGui & 

The operations steps of calibrations are explained briefly in the RCE pixel calibration instruction Twikiwhile the functionality details of the calibrations are described in the ATLAS pixel calibration manual
