Order of operations:

Turn on HV

Delete old DAQ files

  • Go to /data/mm_2016/work/
  • Delete anything called mmtp_*.dat
  • Delete mmfe8TestQuiet.dat

Power cycle + Configure boards

  • Wait until you can talk to the MMFE8s
  • Go to /data/mm_2016/mm_daq/python/
python jonah_config.py 8 <location of config file>
  • Configuration files are located in /data/mm_2016/mm_daq/config/

  • Should be labeled by run, or use the latest one.

  • Wait until configured

Start scintillator DAQ / open crate

Start MM DAQ

python data_acq_multi_mmfe8_seq.py 8
  • Type in IPs of board when prompted
  • Type in 1 to start DAQ

Start Trigger DAQ

  • If the output FIFOs have not been enabled, you need to enable them. Generally this only needs to be done once after the TP is programmed.
  • To enable the output FIFOs:
  • Go to /data/mm_2016/trigger_daq
python regWrite.py --df "1110"
  • This enables FIFOs 21, 22, 23.
  • Once the output FIFOs have been enabled, to turn on the DAQ:
python udpRecDesp_32bit.py

Change the priority of both the MM DAQ and the TP DAQ

sudo renice -18 -p <PID>

Take out the pin to start DAQ

Event displays

  • Go to /data/mm_2016/mm_daq/python
  • For trigger display, add “-t”
while true; do python ascii_display.py -r <run_number> -l; sleep 1; clear; done

Turn on monitoring

  • Go to /data/mm_2016/mm_daq/python
python daemon.py
