Instructions on how to power the FEB using MPOD with EPICS

FEB Power using Keithley: AVDDP: 5.5V, AVDDN: 5.5V, DVDD: 5.5V and flange power 5.5V (parallel to DVDD).

Take a calibration run with expert SVT GUI

Start the DAQ:

$ cd /u1/software/software_new

$ source setup_env.csh

$ ./bin/frontEndTestGui

Click <read status> and make sure no error is seen. If so, check that the FEB is powered correctly.

Make sure the AxiXadc temperature is ok (50-60C).

Configure with config/FebConfigHw4.xml

Click <read status> and check that more registers are found.

Turn on power to hybrids (see below)

Do a hard reset under commands/FebCore/HybridHardReset (current on AVDDP should drop ~100mA).

Click <Write config>.

Do a soft reset under commands/FebCore/HybridSoftReset.

Check that the hybrid currents measured are ok. Sync status for each channel can be seen in register RceCore/DataPath[x]/Synced, 1xf for powered channels.

Instructions for powering hybrids with EPICS.

Manual control

In the DAQ GUI: go to config and turn on power to hybrids using Register: HybridXPwrEn (X=0,1,2,3).
