The CU is different from the LAT in many respects, so is the software to run it. There is essentially only a single local installation allowing to run the CU, right now, and it resides on the lat-btserver machinebtserver - latbt01 machines. Here are some notes about the installation itself, the tests that can be performed, the schema files to be used.

Both the LATTE and the INT releases are installed onto lat-bt01 in
| Code Block |

/usr/local/online |
For the beam we had to make quite a few specific modifications to the code (both the core stuff and the subsystem scripts) to be eventually able to run a limited subset of the test scripts. Rather than modifying the released code directly, those changes live in a separate folder:

/gnfs/home/glast/work/INT/DebugArea |
...
Essentially you want to use end2endBT for data taking (and CU_BT.xml as the configuration file) while the charge injection tests must be performed for each module separately using the CU_TEM_xxx.xml files. Note that both the TKR and the CAL modules for the tower under test are declared in the schema file and must be powered on. When you press "select application" in the RunControl main gui you are automatically redirected into /gnfs/home/glast/work/INT/Scripts/DataTaking. Go one level up and then select Calibration to have access to the subsystem level calibration scripts.
Data live either in:

/gnfs/data/DVD

or:

/gnfs/data/LATTE
|
depending on the time of collection.
Tests
Here is the list of functional tests we performed as part of the incoming procedure.
...
- Noise and gain measurement (TkrNoiseAndGain.py)
- Reference run for the TKR module attached to TEM 3: run 700004421 (PASSED)
- Reference run for the TKR module attached to TEM 2: run 700004435 (PASSED*)
* Note that TKR FM16 (connected to TEM 2) is not filght and it does have its "features" and idiosyncrasies. In particular there are quite a few layers failing in terms of disconnecetd/defecting channels (Y15, X13, Y11, Y10, Y2). A good reference run for comparison (though quite old, now, and take n with a different software version) is:
