-GRETINA DAQ system
+======= New in 2022 ======
-====== issues ========
+start run window is obsolete. Two scripts are available for changing the data directory. Daq needs to be stopped, directories need to exist:
-ANY issue/breakdown put here: [[:daqtrouble|daqtrouble]]
+  * changeDataDir_maintainRunNum  <data dir>  : keeps the Run number the same, for when we need to move physics experiment data collection to another disk
+  * changeDataDir_resetRunNum <data dir>  : finds the lowest available Run number without any larger RunDir #s

+The DAQ page from the former S800-GRETINA campaign in 2012 can be found at

-[[:status|status]]
+  * {{ :daq:ulm-e16011_names.png?linkonly |S800 Trigger GUI}}
+======= Troubleshoot ======
+  * S800-Gretina not correlated: Check CC setfile ~s800/converged_daq/Scripts/CC0105Begin.tcl for extsynch and extclock
+  * S800 is losing events. Check the network speed of spdaq45 by /sbin/ethtool eth0 and /sbin/ethtool eth1 , both should show speed as 1000Mb/s, if one shows 100Mb/s then the network is too slow and S800 cannot send data to GEB fast enough which will cause event loss happen.
+  * Check the ringbuffer status, $DAQBIN/ringbuffer status - -host=spdaq45 - -all , if the free colum becomes zero, DAQ related people needs to be notified for diagnostics.
+======= Decomp Information ======

+======= Gretina Computing =======
+Gretina computer farm is maintained by LBNL computer group and local NSCL IT department. Nonetheless I put documents here, but we do NOT do anything to the GRETINA computers!

-====== Configuration files for decompostion ======
+====== Reboot a2 ======
-The configuration for the decomposition is here: https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/gretina/doku.php/daq:decomp
+  * If a2 is rebooted due to system failure, two scripts need to be brought up
+    * from ~gretina: nohup scripts/warningMessage4.sh &
+    * from ~gretina/scripts/watcherdir: nohup watcher &
+ The first is the alarm script that talks to users.  The second is responsible for two things: writing record{Counters,Decomp,Settings} in the current run directory and cleaning up cluster process issues (usually restarting broken processes) soon after starting or stopping runs.
-====== Positioning of the quads ======
+  * Switch to a1
-When a position of a detector is changed the following has to be updated:
+    * If a2 cannot be brought back. Gretina DAQ can still run on a1. In the file ~/.profile , environment variable **DAQSERVER** needs changed to be a1.gam . This parameter is used to restrict gretina daq critical scripts to run on specific machine.
-  * CS_DataId in https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/gretina/doku.php/daq:decomp
-  * CS_GblId in /global/devel/boot/vmeArray/vme*.cmd --- The Id is given by  hole_number * 16 + position_in_quad * 4 + board_number
-  * GTSort_shack/DetNum.dat --- self explanatory
