This page describes how to compile and run the RCE teststand software at SLAC and CERN. Checking out the packages from SLAC CVS requires a SLAC Unix login account. Required steps are identical for the SLAC and CERN environment unless otherwise mentioned.

A teststand can be booked here:
https://pc-sct-www01.cern.ch/cgi-bin/workplan.cgi?cIndex=1
Time slots are CERN time (CET or CEST).
Setting the RCE development environment (C-Shell)
source  /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.csh
To execute this setup at login the follwing lines should be added to $HOME/.cshrc
if ( -r /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.csh ) then
source  /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.csh >& /dev/null
endif
Setup for Bourne-Shell
source  /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.sh
Or adding the follwing lines to $HOME/.bash_profile
if [ !  -r /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.sh ]; then
source /reg/g/atlas/rcecalib/setup/setup_rce.sh 2>&1 > /dev/null
fi
Checking out  and setting up the RCE and STControl/PixLib packages into a directory. The setup scripts assume that top RCE release directory is found in $HOME/rce. HOME should point to /reg/lab1/home/$USER. Several release installations should be managed by symbolic links.
[BUILD_HOST] mkdir $HOME/RCE
[BUILD_HOST] cd $HOME/RCE
[BUILD_HOST] cvs co -d rcecalib-CVS-HEAD release
[BUILD_HOST] cd $HOME
[BUILD_HOST] ln -s RCE/rcecalib-CVS-HEAD rce
[BUILD_HOST] cd rce
[BUILD_HOST] cvs co pixlib rce rceapp rceers rceowl rcecalib rceipc rceis rceoh rceusr
[BUILD_HOST] cp rcecalib/projects.mk.template projects.mk
Building the RCE and StControl/pixlib packages.
Note: the RCE needs to be compiled with the RCE_INTERFACE=1 option at CERN and SLAC.
[BUILD_HOST] make i386-linux
[BUILD_HOST] make ppc-rtems-rce405-opt RCE_INTERFACE=1
[BUILD_HOST] cd pixlib
[BUILD_HOST] make
Running a threshold scan and retrieve S-Curve-Fit, Occpancy and ToT mean/sigma
  • Start ipc initial and 'rcetest' partition 
    [IPC_HOST] ipc_server &
[IPC_HOST] ipc_server -p rcetest &
[IPC_HOST} is_server -p rcetest -n RceIsServer &
  • Download calibration server to RCE. rce_dow is an expect-script to automate the download via xmd. 
    [XMD_HOST] rce_dow
  • Run the command line calibration client 
    [IPC_HOST] calibclient -p rcetest
  • No labels
