- | In order to run the combined S800 + Gretina daq, the following steps need to be taken: | ||
- | |||
- | 1. On spdaq48 in / | ||
- | |||
- | **wish ./ | ||
- | |||
- | or, on devop2 (the S800 MAC machine) | ||
- | |||
- | click on the operations folder on the lower icon bar and select runcontrol.command | ||
- | |||
- | 2. On a dataU machine logged in as the experimental account (e11007 for the June 2012 testing period) do | ||
- | |||
- | **godaq** | ||
- | |||
- | 3. On spdaq44 do: | ||
- | |||
- | **/ | ||

- | < | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | | ||
- | </ | ||
- | |||
- | Upon start of run there will be another client of the s800 ring, which is the pushToGEB process. This should die on end run. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | The S800 daq will now be in slave mode, and run control is done from the NSCL daq window. | ||
