Test Beam July 2015 with B=1.8 T

Expected Beam Energy: 300 GeV pi-

DAQ PCs and Network

Some tips for the data taking made by Simon are in attached document 'SBM-02 documentation.pdf'at the end of this twiki

Modules Orientation:

SET UP RCE

Set up the RCE (Simon instructions)

Connect to DAQ PC

power cycle RCE (physically press the reset button on the RCE)

in a shell, change to tcsh shell by executing tcsh

execute source ~/rce_work/setupShell.csh

execute startDAQsys.csh

then there is a couple of RCE commands running:

• the Basic network check has to finish with “OK” for RCE 12 and RCE 13

• the Rebooting has to finish with “OK” for RCE 12 and RCE 13

• then, I observed that often “Uploading module” is not working, the error is “terminate called after throwing an instance of 'RCENet::Error' Abort (core dumped)”. However, Uploading module has to finish with “OK” for both RCE's. Solution: power cycle RCE, then execute startDAQsys.csh again (only executing startDAQsys.csh will not change anything). This you might have to do a lot of times. Sometimes one RCE is ok, then the other isn't and so on. If the HSIO is in a funny state (by not showing “L” and some number on the LED display), then also reset the HSIO. Only start cosmicGui when both RCE's are ok, i.e. when the startDAQ script executed fine.

• Then just execute calibGui or cosmicGui

Problems and solutions

DAQ:

if RCE crash or not responding or error messages, then we follow this sequence online and it seems to work:

- RebootAllRCEs

- rce_killall

- pgrep ipc

- startDAQSYS

- cosmicgui (for data taking) or calibgui (for calibration)
