Taking cosmic data in the ESB and setting HV
- ssh into genl5 (computer in ESB), even if you are already on the machine (to make sure css loads correctly)
- Do not source coda_bcal_setup in /home/halld/bcal_test
- type 'css' to bring up the slow controls HV gui
- If an error screen comes up try to the following:
- ps -ef | grep BCAL (to get localhost id)
- telnet localhost 20000 (or other from ps command)
- ctl-x (reboots server)
- ctl-] (escapes to telnet prompt)
- If an error screen comes up try to the following:
- For cosmics in ESB use 'halld' account instead of 'halldrun' and use 'genl5' computer instead of 'clonusr2'. 'halldtrg3' is still used. Otherwise, follow instructions below
- When css looses communication, reset the crate as follows
- Turn power off
- Unplug ethernet (blue) cable
- Turn power back on
- Plug ethernet cable back in
Instructions for 2012 Beam Test in Hall B
- Launch database daemon
- login to clonusr2.jlab.org under halldrun
- start msqld by typing 'msqld' ( be sure that only one msqld is running)
- Launch Afec-1.4 platform
- login to clonusr2.jlab.org under halldrun
- type 'platform'
- Start event builder
- login to clonusr2.jlab.org under halldrun
- coda_eb_rc3 -i -s simple -n EB3 -t CDEB
- Launch coda_roc on the Linux controller
- login to halldtrg3.jlab.org under halldrun
- coda_roc_rc3 -i -s simple -n TROC3 -t ROC
- Note: If TDCs are empty, reboot crate: On clasrun@clon10 >roc_reboot halldtrg3
- Launch Run Control GUI
- login to clonusr2.jlab.org under halldrun
- type 'rcgui'
- Select 'Sessions -> simple'
- Select 'Configurations -> Cool -> bcal' (see top menu)
- Press buttons: Configure, Download, Prestart, Go (you start the run)
Store data on tape
- To store data on tape just copy files on clonusr2 to
- /w/stage/output/clas/test
- To retrieve files, go to ifarms ( ssh ifarml64 ). You can see files using
- ls /mss/clas/test/bcal*
- To retrieve a file from the tape use
- jget /mss/clas/test/file_name .
