Start/stop runs
 
 
Usually the DAQ is already running one of the workspaces on cdaql3 (giant screen).  Then it's like any other CODA system.  Stop/start runs with the Run Control GUI (rcgui).
 
 
How to CODA start from scratch.
 
 
On hccoda@cdaql3, type "startCoda" (note the capital C).  The xterms with components pops up.  Those are the 3 crates nps-vme1, nps-vme2, nps-vme3, as well as the event builder PEB1.  The Run Control GUI (rcgui) pops up.  We normally want the configuration "NPS_3crate" for the aforementioned crates.  We also have single-VME configs ("vme1", "vme2", "vme3") but they only work if the trigger is plugged into the master TI.  More on trigger below.
 
 
-
 
FADC parameters are defined in the usual config file
 
 
ssh -X nps-vme1 -l hccoda
 
cd cfg
 
and see nps-vmeN.cfg where N = 1, 2, 3
 
Please don't modify these unless you know what you are doing.
 
 
Trigger
 
 
Curently (Jan 24, 2023) the trigger is a front-panel trigger going into the 7th input of the TI-master.  This input is labelled "TS#1".  Later we'll have a fancy VTP trigger and I'll update this.  But currently the trigger consists of the "and" between a scintillator on top and bottom of the calorimeter.  And each scintillator is the "or" of the two PMTs that are connected to the two ends of the scintillator.
