-GRETINA DAQ system
+======= FRIB online build window ======
+Issue the following command prior to starting the ReadoutGUI: export COINCIDENCE_TICKS=300
+(e.g. in bin/startrdo)
-====== Changelog ========
+======= Turn on/off Mode3 Data collection ======
-ANY change to the DAQ system out here: [[:daqchange|daqchange]]
+  * To start/stop mode3 data collection on the EPICS GUI page click the button Cluster. In the newly opened window click the button **2 only** for mode2 data only or the **2 and 3** for both mode2 and mode3 data.
+  * Alternatively in a terminal on a2.gam run the command **"caput Data_CS_Save2And3 0/1"** to turn mode3 collection off/on.
+  * After doing this the decomp scripts should be modified as running the syncrofix command could overwrite this.
+  * For GRETINA standalone the script to modify is is **grdecompSA.sh** and for GRETINA-S800, **grdecompParticleGamma.sh**.
+  * For both scripts change the line **"caput Data_CS_Save2And3 0/1"** to turn mode3 collection off/on
+======= 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+start run window is obsolete.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
-**NOTE**: No change pass July 13th 2012 can be done without explicit
-announcement and approval (by Dirk).
-====== issues ========
+======= This is DAQ page from previous campaigns ======
-ANY issue/breakdown put here: [[:daqtrouble|daqtrouble]]
+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
+  * S800-Gretina control [[docsS800Grt|docsS800Grt]]
+  * {{ :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 spdaq32 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=spdaq32 - -all , if the free colum becomes zero, DAQ related people needs to be notified for diagnostics.
-ReadOutShell reports "S800 changed to inactive" [[:ReadOutShellS800Inactive|ReadOutShellS800Inactive]]

-[[:status|status]]
+  * 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 ]]
+====== Reboot a2 ======
+  * 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.
+  * Switch to a1
-==== Files/trees on GRETINA cluster to go ====
+    * 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.

-The configuration for the decomposition is here: https://wikihost.nscl.msu.edu/gretina/doku.php/daq:decomp
-====== Positioning of the quads ======
-When a position of a detector is changed the following has to be updated:
-  * 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
