Getting Started with DAQ
- Starting DAQ:
- login as sidaq
- cd daq
- source setup.sh
- ufizzi &
- Running and Modifying DAQ:
- Input file daq/DAQcfg.xml is used to change:
- Thresholds (Vth0-Vth7), channels that are masked off/pulsed
(Cell Inj=, Kill=...)...
- Expert Mode Tab has buttons to initialize chips, boards
- Main Tab has Start/Stop Run. At Stop Run, output file is written
to /local/data
- Analyzing DAQ Output:
- Output files are written to /local/data
- Directory /home/sidaq/testread has a very simple program to read in
data file (link to 'data.ASCII') and output currently two NTUPLES:
- hits - one entry per hit: row, column, ADC, event number,
BCO number, pulser (I put it in by hand just to make some plots)
- event - one entry per event
- Orsay.cc, .hh has class to decode data, testread reads in
data file, calls header and event decode, and writes out ntuple file.
- To build 'make testread'
- To run: 'testread'
- Making Connection to Logic Analyzer:
- Also in sidaq account: > ./goLogic.sh
