NPS DAQ in Hall C
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

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 # Uses fiber 1 for TS connection (HMS) nps_vme_slave5_list.so # Uses fiber 5 for TS connection (NPS)
- master configured for triggers from TSINPUTS: TS#1, TS#2
- fadc250 configuration file read from "User Configuration file"
- ti configuration read from "User String"
- vtp - adds VTP as slave ROC
- npsvmeN, N=[2,5] - adds npsvmeN as a slave ROC
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 |
Readout Lists, User Strings, User Config
This section defines the field contents for the ROC components. The NPS configuration uses the fields as shown below. The NPS_5crate configuration has the npsvtp{1,2,3,4,5} ROCs removed, with the vtp parameter removed from the ROL1 User String
npsvme1
ROL1: /home/hccoda/nps-vme/rol/nps_vme_master_list.so ROL1 User String: vtp,npsvme2,npsvme3,npsvme4,npsvme5

VTP uBoot configuration
| port | vtp |
|---|---|
| 2001 | nps-vtp1 |
| 2002 | nps-vtp2 |
| 2003 | nps-vtp3 |
| 2004 | nps-vtp4 |
