start DAQ

There are 3 controls associated with Run Control on the main page of either GUI

  • Start/Stop - this is self explanatory. Pushing to start begins taking data.
  • NoSave/Save - If set to Save, IOC buffers fill with data. You must attach a receiver to each digitizer IOC or the system may crash horribly once the buffers fill up.
  • Copy/Sort - In Sort mode, the data out of the IOC is time ordered according to the time stamp.

Good instructions makes things easy, that is why we have none.

syncing two systems

For DGS

  • Goto trig0 window.
  • Turn off SYNC U - listed under LRU Control
  • Make sure receive/send power is on for L & U

Note: If SYNC U is turned off - an Impeartive sync by DGS will reset the master clock on DFMA.

For DFMA

  • Goto Trig0 Window
  • Under Misc Control - turn on both undefined buttons
  • Pull up diagnotsitc window on trig0.
  • Set Clrk Source to LINK
  • Set Nim1 and Nim2 out on master trigger module FMA

Note: Clock Source cannot be set to LINK in GUI. Set address 0x8D0 in slot 0 to set 1 for trigger modules. This needs to be fixed in Driver by Tim.
