Summary of CODA Configurations

Name Readout Output Trigger

Mott_SemiInt Mott FADC and INT FADC /data/mott/Mott_SemiInt_%d.dat Mott Detector
Mott_Int INT FADC /data/mott/Mott_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.

  • Reference: JLab Module Manuals [1]
  • Changed Mott_SemiInt to the FADC Mode 7 from Mode 3 -- Done on April 29, 2014. This mode provides:
  1. Pulse integral (sum of all 4ns samples over set threshold, up to 3 pulses per window)
  2. Pulse time (62.5 ps resolution)
  3. Pedestal average of 4 samples at beginning of window.
FADC Programmed Thresholds:
  1. Mott_Sample: Threshold = 0
  2. Mott_SemiInt:
 CH1 - E LEFT            Threshold = 600
 CH2 - E RIGHT           Threshold = 600
 CH3 - E UP              Threshold = 600
 CH4 - E DOWN            Threshold = 600
 CH5 - dE LEFT           Threshold = 600
 CH6 - dE RIGHT          Threshold = 600
 CH7 - dE UP             Threshold = 600
 CH8 - dE DOWN           Threshold = 600
 CH9 - BFM               Threshold = 1750
 CH10 - Empty            Threshold = 100
 CH11 - Mott Trigger     Threshold = 1000
 CH12 - Empty            Threshold = 100
 CH13 - Delayed Hel      Threshold = 10
 CH14 - T_Settle         Threshold = 10
 CH15 - Pat Sync         Threshold = 10
 CH16 - Pair Sync        Threshold = 10

Mott_Sample Settings:
 FADC_BLOCK_MODE = 1
 MODE            = 1
 PL              = 80    - Programmable Latency (100 ns to 8 µs)
 PTW             = 50    - Programmable Trigger Window (100 ns to 2 µs)



INT FADC

 const FADC_ADDR       = 0xed0000  # 12 bit fADC Int - Slot 10         
 const FADCMODE        = 3 (Int_Int, special)
 const FADCSLOT_PEPPo3 = 10

Trigger Prescale

The input trigger can be prescaled by the ti:prescale parameter in the Configuration File 

 prescale = 0; /* Prescale factor := 1 / 2^<prescale> */

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.
