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 July/2018, the DUT RCE readout is upgrading to HSIO-II setup with EUDAQ-1.7, with the dedicated ESADUTDAQ1 server also upgraded to a fanless Kindel PC residing the beam tunnel in the EUDET rack next to the NI crate as the DUT RCE readout host. HSIO-II has the DTM mezzanine with the Gen-3 ZYNQ based RCE operating Centos-7 on the 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. If the RCE readout setup with HSIO-II is dissembled and reinstalled, it is important to remember two important grounding connections to ensure LVDS communications have proper DC reference levels:
- For HSIO2-module communication: Ground wire between HSIO2 LV supply Molex pigtail and pixel module LV PSU ground
- For HSIO2-TLU communication: Lemo cable between TLU trig0 TTL and any of the HSIO2 main board LEMO bank socket
If you are If you ar not running the system from the ESA console next to the EUDET, but from some public nodes at SLAC, you need to first hop onto an ESA public machine on the 172.27.100 subnet and login as yourself e.g.
