Startup

VNC window after 'startCoda'
  • 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

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

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.
