-GRETINA DAQ system+======= New in 2022 ====== 
 +start run window is obsolete. Two scripts are available for changing the data directory. Daq needs to be stopped, directories need to exist:  
 +  * 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
  
-====== Changelog ======== 
-ANY change to the DAQ system out here: [[:​daqchange|daqchange]] 
  
-**NOTE**: No change pass July 13th 2012 can be done without explicit 
-announcement and approval (by Dirk). ​ 
  
 +======= This is DAQ page from previous campaigns ======
 +The DAQ page from the former S800-GRETINA campaign in 2012 can be found at
 +https://​wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/​gretina/​doku.php/​daq:​daq_2012
  
-====== issues ​======== +  * S800-Gretina control [[docsS800Grt|docsS800Grt]]  
-ANY issue/​breakdown put here[[:​daqtrouble|daqtrouble]]+  * {{ :​daq:​ulm-e16011_names.png?​linkonly |S800 Trigger GUI}} 
 +======= ​Troubleshoot ​====== 
 +  * S800-Gretina not correlatedCheck 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 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!

 +  ​Dual homed NSCL machines are spdaq32 and spdaq07
  
 +====== miscellaneous ======
 +  * Validation/​Trigger window width is set by Dig116_CS_X55WidthP,​ Dig116_CS_X55WidthN. N/P stands for positive/​negative maximum difference relative to Trigger timestamp which will be read out.
 +  * Bringing up just the EPICs screen: in gretina home **./​startGRETINA_EPICSdisplay**
 +  * Set trigger multiplicity:​ **caput Trig0_CS_FSCThr n** (n=0,​1,​2,​3... for mult 1,2,3,4...)
 +  * See trigger pulse width: **CheckLED.sh**  ​
 +  * Change trigger pulse width: **SETLEDWIN <# of 20ns ticks>**
 +  * Check timestamps, report boards that are out-of-sync:​ **CheckTS**
 +  * Force timestamps to reset, DO NOT USE DURING RUN!!!: **SINGLEIMPSYNC**
 +  * Warning script: run on a2 as gretina in ~/scripts: **./​warningMessage4.sh **
 +  * Check decomp stats  ** recordDecomp.sh | head -n50 **
 +  * [[Flash digitizer firmware]]
 +  * Check digitizer firmware version: on a2 or a1 terminal, type: **DIGSNIDFW** ,all digitizers should have same version firmware
 +  * [[Replace digitizer with different color ones]]
 +  * [[Replace fuses of digitizer]]
 +  * [[No valid decomposed events]]
 +  * Verify connecedt digitizers, at IOC interface, type **dbior**, it will print all identified digitizers within one bank
 +  * VME related scripts are located at /​global/​devel/​boot/​vmeArray
 +  * Check connected PVs, at IOC interface, type "​casr"​
 +  * [[ Move detectors to new Hole position ]]
  
-====== ​Status ​====== +====== ​Reboot a2 ====== 
-[[:status|status]]+  * 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 thingswriting 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.
  
- +  * Switch ​to a1 
- +    * If a2 cannot ​be brought backGretina 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.
