| + | |||
| + | Most important: The Gretina run control and 'toys' cn only be run from either | ||
| + | ddasdaq2.nscl.msu.edu or ddasdaq3.nscl.msu.edu These two systems are the only | ||
| + | NSCLDAQ systems that are on both the NSCL DAQ network and the GRETINA | ||
| + | internal network. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 1. Where things live: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Gretina support software is installed in /usr/opt/gretina in a directory of the | ||
| + | form m.n-eee where m,n and e are decimal digits: | ||
| + | |||
| + | m - The major version: 2, begining Sep 2015 | ||
| + | n - A minor version, currently 0 | ||
| + | eee - and 'edit level' which indicates some minor fixups were performed. | ||
| + | The current value for eee is 004. | ||
| + | |||
| + | In the cookbook recipes below, the directory in which gretina software is | ||
| + | installed (e.g. /usr/opt/gretina/2.0-004) will be called $GRTOP | ||
| + | |||
| + | 2. Setting up environment variables: | ||
| + | |||
| + | A script $GRTOP/bin/gretinaSetup defines several environment variables. | ||
| + | Incorporate those into your shell by: | ||
| + | |||
| + | . $GRTOP/bin/gretinaSetup | ||
| + | |||
| + | (e.g. . /usr/opt/gretina/2.0-004/bin/gretinaSetup) | ||
| + | |||
| + | This script will also source the environment setup script for the version of | ||
| + | NSCLDAQ with with which the gretina software is associated. | ||
| + | |||
| + | All future recipes assume that this script has been sourced. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 3. Using the ReadoutGUI: | ||
