| + | Issue the following command prior to starting the ReadoutGUI: export COINCIDENCE_TICKS=300 | ||
| + | (e.g. in bin/startrdo) | ||
| + | |||
| + | ======= Turn on/off Mode3 Data collection ====== | ||
| + | * 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| + | start run window is obsolete.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 | ||
| + | |||

| - | * Dual homed NSCL machines are ddasdaq2 and ddasdaq3 | + | ======= Troubleshoot ====== |
| - | + | * S800-Gretina not correlated: Check CC setfile ~s800/converged_daq/Scripts/CC0105Begin.tcl for extsynch and extclock | |
| - | ====== DAQ Setup 2015 ====== | + | * 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. | ||

| + | 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! | ||

| + | * May 2019, documentation provided from Jackie: [[https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Aq5NkuEKBc4_5fx-95d2RaSZM08VQwVleYWr42QTsFg/edit?invite=CNr_nogM&ts=5cd488d9|Gretina System Documentation]] | ||

| + | ======= Misc 2019 ====== | ||
| + | * Dual homed NSCL machines are spdaq32 and spdaq07 | ||
| - | * Q5P4 Seg 31 values are negative. Appears to be problem with digitizer. | + | ====== miscellaneous ====== |
| - | * Q5P1 can not be in trigger. | + | * 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. |
| - | * Run 106 - Taken with north hemisphere. All detectors biased to 3000 V. Q1 Q2 Q6 Q8 all in trigger. Before full voltage benchmark run. | + | * Bringing up just the EPICs screen: in gretina home **./startGRETINA_EPICSdisplay** |
| - | * North Hemisphere Hole map : | + | * 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** |
| - | ^ Quad ^ Hole ^ | + | * Change trigger pulse width: **SETLEDWIN <# of 20ns ticks>** |
| - | ^ Q1 | 24 | | + | * Check timestamps, report boards that are out-of-sync: **CheckTS** |
| - | ^ Q2 | 29 | | + | * Force timestamps to reset, DO NOT USE DURING RUN!!!: **SINGLEIMPSYNC** |
| - | ^ Q6 | 9 | | + | * Warning script: run on a2 as gretina in ~/scripts: **./warningMessage4.sh ** |
| - | ^ Q8 | 28 | | + | * 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 ]] | ||
| - | * Q1 -> Hole 24, Q2 -> Hole 29, Q6 -> Hole 9, Q8 -> Hole 28 | + | ====== Reboot a2 ====== |
| - | * South Hemisphere Hole map | + | * If a2 is rebooted due to system failure, two scripts need to be brought up |
| - | | + | * from ~gretina: nohup scripts/warningMessage4.sh & |
| - | ^ Quad ^ Hole ^ | + | * from ~gretina/scripts/watcherdir: nohup watcher & |
| - | ^ Q3 | 17 | | + | 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. |
| - | ^ Q5 | 25 | | + | |
| - | ^ Q7 | 19 | | + | |
| + | * Switch to a1 | ||
| + | * 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. | ||
