In this example the XPM is configured to insert event codes 272-287 into the timing stream. Four event codes are generated by each sequence engine within the XPM. The XPM has 4 sequence engines allowing 16 event codes total.
Engine | Event Codes |
---|---|
0 | 256-259 |
1 | 260-263 |
2 | 264-267 |
3 | 268-271 |
4 | 272-275 |
5 | 276-279 |
6 | 280-283 |
7 | 284-287 |
A current example for doing this is done by executing:
(first use Matt's high-level utility to generate two event codes that run at 10Hz and 100Hz (periods 91000 and 9100 respectively)
(ps-4.5.26) drp-srcf-mon001:psana$ periodicgenerator -p 91000 9100 -s 0 0 -d '10Hz' '100Hz' >& 10hz_100hz.py
(now program sequence engine 0 and start it using the python code generated above. since we're programming engine 0, the first two event codes will be 272,273 according to the above table)
(this command must be executed on a node that can access the XPM PV's, e.g. drp-srcf-*)
(ps-4.5.26) drp-srcf-mon001:psana$ seqprogram --seq 04:10hz_100hz.py --pv DAQ:NEH:XPM:3 --start
** engine 0 fname 10hz_100hz.py **
