DUNE DAQ Prototype

Introduction

This is the new wiki for DAQ at the Neutrino Platform. You will find useful links (some of them still referring to NP04) and basic instructions to run the DAQ.

Useful links

• Accessing CERN and the DAQ resources
• NP04 E-Logbook (for access subscribe to e-group np04-t0comp-users, for notifications subscribe to pdsp-elog-messages here)
• NP02 E-Logbook (for access subscribe to e-group np02-t0comp-users, for notifications subscribe to pddp-elog-messages here)
• VD coldbox E-Logbook (for access subscribe to e-group np-vd-coldbox-elog, for notifications subscribe to np-vd-coldbox-elog-messages here)

• Controlling DAQ nodes over IPMI
• Computer Assignments

• Instructions to monitor and operate the Detector Control System
• DAQ and Offline Software Interfaces

Example for PROD_MASTER_VDC:

pdtbutler io PROD_MASTER_VDC reset
pdtbutler mst PROD_MASTER_VDC synctime
pdtbutler mst PROD_MASTER_VDC part 0 configure --no-spill-gate

pdtbutler mst PROD_MASTER_VDC align apply-delay 0 0 0 --force

Getting access to BUtool

BUtool has been packaged into a UPS package, with variants for both CentOS 7 and CentOS Stream 8. Use the following commands to make it available:

source /cvmfs/dunedaq.opensciencegrid.org/products/setup
source /cvmfs/dunedaq-development.opensciencegrid.org/products/setup
setup protodune_wibsoft v351a -q e19:prof

 BUTool.exe -X /nfs/sw/wib/WIBSoftwareTrunk/scripts/power_status_FEMB_VD_ColdBox.script
 BUTool.exe -X /nfs/sw/wib/WIBSoftwareTrunk/scripts/power_on_FEMB_VD_ColdBox.script
 BUTool.exe -X /nfs/sw/wib/WIBSoftwareTrunk/scripts/power_off_FEMB_VD_ColdBox.script
