Mott DAQ iocmdaq1

There are two ways to access the Mott DAQ ioc:

From an accelerator machine: telnet iocmdaq1
From an accelerator machine: ioc_concole iocmdaq1. Here you need to enter a password to this cannot be done with the idaq account.

The startup file: idaq@opsmdaq0:/cs/op/iocs/iocmdaq1/startup

The CODA boot file: idaq@opsmdaq0:/opt/coda/boot/mott_roc1.boot

CODA Files

CODA crl files are in: idaq@opsmdaq0: /opt/idaq/crl
Scalers.crl
Mott_Sample.crl
Mott_SemiInt.crl
PEPPo_Int.crl
To compile: makelist Mott_Sample.crl ppc

CODA scripts files are in: idaq@opsmdaq0: /opt/idaq/scripts

Summary of CODA Configurations

Name	Readout	Output	Trigger
Scalers	Scaler S1 (helicity gated), S2 (un-gated)	Scalers_%d.dat	Delayed nT_Settle
Mott_Sample	Mott FADC, S1, S2, TDC	Mott_Sample_%d.dat	Mott Detector
Mott_SemiInt	Mott FADC, S1, S2, TDC	Mott_SemiInt_%d.dat	Mott Detector
PEPPo_Int	INT FADC, S1, S2	PEPPo_Int_%d.dat	nT_Settle

Backup Data Files to SILO

Cron scripts are installed on the idaq account on opsmdaq0 to back up data and delete it from /data and /data1:

/opt/idaq/cron/cron_opsmdaq0

Do not attempted to copy, delete, move, or rename files. Never !

The scripts assume that data appears in /data*/DIR where DIR = "annihilation" or "compton" or "mott" Files must have the keywords "PEPPo" or "Scalers" or at least "dat". This avoids writing scratch files like root output. Do not start putting data in some new place or with new names. It won't be backed up to MSS if you do that.

The data are deleted from local disks if they have been written in duplicate with correct byte count to the MSS tape silo. The data stay on disk for an amount of time that is related to the amount of disk space is available. If lots of disk available, the data stay forever. If not much disk, the data are deleted aggressively.

 The data is copied to: /mss/accel/peppo/raw

The copying of data was disabled on January 3rd, 2014.

cefdmp/xcefdmp

The event dump utility (cefdmp) can display, in a readable ASCII format, events from the data files.

Syntax

% cefdmp [filename] [-o object] [-t tag] [-u uniquetag] [-s start] [-e end] [-d dictionary] [-x] 
% xcefdmp [same]

Options

o specify the source object name (CODA component name) 
t select specified tag number or name (full path in event structure) 
u select specified unique tag, independent of location in the event 
s number of first record in file to dump 
e number of last record in file to dump 
d specify dictionary for obtaining tag names and titles 
x hex dump of integers (default is decimal)

cedit and dbedit

Use cedit and/or dbedit to modify CODA database.

Issues and FAQ

RunNumber: if the run number in msql is different from the one in CODA cool database, coda doesn't work. Open dbedit => localhost => sessions and change the RunNumber to match the one in CODA cool database.
