Startup
- login: coda@cdaql6 vnc: coda@cdaql6 :6
- in fresh xterm:
startCoda
- - xterms (ROCs and PEB) and RCGUI should open
- Restart the components without closing the xterms
restartStuff
- Kill all components and xterms
kcoda
Environment Setup
- The CODA environment is setup using coda_scripts
- User Defined CODA environment variables
- CODA for ROC/VTP
setenv CODA ${HOME}/coda_3.10_devel
setenv CODA_SCRIPTS ${CODA}/coda_scripts
- CODA for Platform/PEB
setenv CODA ${HOME}/coda/3.10_devel
setenv CODA_SCRIPTS ${HOME}/coda/coda_scripts
- CODA Session and EXPID
setenv SESSION NPS setenv EXPID NPS
- source the coda scripts setup
source ${CODA_SCRIPTS}/setupCODA3.tcsh
VME ROC
- CODA environment loaded from .tcshrc from setup script:
hccoda@nps-vme1:~/setup_nps-vme_3.10
- Other environment settings
- LINUXVME
setenv LINUXVME ${HOME}/nps-vme/linuxvme
setenv LINUXVME_INC $LINUXVME/include
setenv LINUXVME_LIB $LINUXVME/$MACHINE/lib
setenv LINUXVME_BIN $LINUXVME/$MACHINE/bin
setenv PATH ${LINUXVME_BIN}:$PATH
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LINUXVME_LIB}:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
VTP ROC
- CODA environment loaded from .tcshrc from setup script:
hccoda@nps-vtp1:~/setup_nps-vtp_3.10
Platform / PEB
- CODA environment loaded from .cshrc from setup script:
coda@cdaql6:~/bin/nps_coda_user_setup
- Other environment settings
setenv JAVA_HOME ${HOME}/coda/jdk1.8.0_152
setenv COOL_HOME ${HOME}/coda/cool
VME Module Configuration
FADC250 Configuration
hccoda@nps-vme2:~/nps-vme/cfg/nps-vme2.cfg
VME Readout Lists
hccoda@nps-vme2:~/nps-vme/rol/
nps_vme_list.c
- readout of TI and fadc250
- compiles as
nps_vme_master_list.so nps_vme_slave_list.so
- master configured for triggers from TSINPUTS: TS#1, TS#2
- fadc250 configuration file read from "User Configuration file"
- ti configuration read from "User String" - not yet implemented
- vtp - not yet implemented
- slaveN, N=[1,8] - not yet implemented
ti_list.c
- readout of TI
- compiles as
ti_master_list.so ti_slave_list.so
- master configured for triggers from TSINPUTS: TS#1, TS#2
- ti configuration read from "User String"
- vtp
- slaveN, N=[1,8] - not yet implemented
event_list.crl
- Required for user events from VME ROC.
- compiles as
event_list.so
CODA Configurations
Component priorities
These must be set to ensure the correct order of ROCs for the configuration and synchronization of serial links. The pattern: Trigger Supervisor has highest priority, VME are next. VTP have the least priority.
| Component | Priority |
|---|---|
| npsvme1 | 1210 |
| npsvme2 | 1110 |
| npsvme3 | 1110 |
| npsvme4 | 1110 |
| npsvme5 | 1110 |
| npsvtp1 | 1010 |
| npsvtp2 | 1010 |
| npsvtp3 | 1010 |
| npsvtp4 | 1010 |
| npsvtp5 | 1010 |
