- Start chiller: 18 Celsius
- Switch on power supply: 8V constant --> check 2.0 A
- Switch on NI crate and TLU
1. Start sensors
- Remote access to NI crate:
-- Open Terminal
-- source access_NI_crate.sh
-- Login: telescope PWD: telescope+
- Start MI26.exe (upper icon on the NI crate Desktop)
-- Open .mcf threshold file, typically 6 (CALADIUM config files are in C:\opt\mimosas\config_files)
-- Press "Reset" --> 2.0 Amps
-- Press "All" --> 2.8 Amps
-- Press "Read" --> 2.8 Amps
-- Press "Start" --> check 3.6 Amps
2. Open Labview FPGA interface on NI crate, if not already open
- Double click MimosaDAQ (second upper icon on the Desktop)
3. Start EUDAQ on AR-EUDAQ:
- Open a second Terminal
- cd eudaq (points to /opt/install/eudaq/eudaq-1.5-dev)
- ./STARTRUN
- wait approx. 20 sec. until all Connections are green (OK)
4. Open TLUproducer on NI crate
- Double click start_EUDAQ_tlu (fourth icon on the Desktop), a blank terminal pops up
--> check in eudaq Run Control, that Produce TLU is connected
5. Start DUT data producer(s) if not running telescope by itself.
For standard RCE based DUT readout, this should be just starting rceOfflineProducer on esadutdaq1.

6. Configure EUDAQ in eudaq Run Control
- select Config file
- Press Config
- wait till all Connections are green (OK)
67. Start Run
- Press Start (wait till all green)
--> check, that Trigger and Event Built numbers are increasing
--> check OnlineMonitor, and reset (upper left x-button)
78. Stop
- Re-configure (5.) and Re-Run (6.)
OR
- Terminate and press "Reset" in MI26.exe at NI crate to stop sensors --> check 2.0 Amps

 

Pixel DUT RCE Readout 

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 Apr/2016, the DUT RCE readout is upgrading from old the Gen-1 RCE + HSIO setup to a simpler HSIO-II setup, with the dedicated ESADUTDAQ1 Sun server residing the beam tunnel near the EUDET area as the DUT RCE readout host. HSIO-II has the DTM mezzanine with the Gen-3 ZYNQ based RCE operating an Arch-Linux based ARMS CPU that communicates with external world via its native 1Gb/s Ethernet. More general information on HSIO-II/RCE can be found on the RCE Development Lab Twiki.

  • login to a public domain ESTB node (e.g. ar-esaux3). If login from a remote computer, you need to use ssh -Y option to make sure the EPICS X display can come back to your terminal.
  • source /afs/slac/g/testfac/home/esauseresa/setupEsa  

(if you are using the ar-esaux3 console in the ESA control room locally, it's likely that it was already logged in as tfuser with this setup already done)

  • estbgui &          

 (this last command should bring up the ESTB EPICS panel on the right)


For ATLAS test beam operations with Caladium, the dedicated T-539 panel contains some of the most relevant sub panels.
