Subject: [How To] Startup CARME 

- water flow/interlock checks

     check water flow to/from inflow/outflow manifolds

     check all coolant lines to all FEE64s are connected

     check USB-controlled acmains relay 'water' LED illuminated                                                              water flow and dew point sensor interlocks OK

 

- carme-gsi network cabling

    from patch panel YR10/2

     yellow network cable to carme-gsi operating in 19" rack room (2.033)

     green network cable to carme-gsi operating in counting room (2.034)

 

- boot carme-gsi

    systemctl start dhcpd                                                                                                                           start DHCP dynamic network configuration

    ssh -L 8080:proxy.gsi.de:8080 carme@atppc025                                                                               establish proxy port for AnyDesk access

    ssh - X pi@nnrpi1

       /MIDAS/TclHttpd/linux-arm/TclHttpd-server &                                                                                   start MIDAS server

    ssh -X pi@nnrpi1

       ./caen_screen.sh                                                                                                                              start CAEN N1419ET control interface

 

- enable current logging

  open a new terminal

  ssh pi@nnrpi1

  cd Programs/caenlogger

  caenlogger --config caenlogger_config_gsi.toml

 

  open a new terminal

  cd Programs/caenlogger

  gnuplot plot_current.gp

 

-system log

   sudo tail - f / var/log/messages                                                                                                             monitor system log e.g. filesystem mounts for FEE64 embedded processors

    (sudo does not work - use su instead. will have to fix)

 

- FEE64 power ON

    Start browser on nnrpi1:8015

    Power On

    Watch system log messages to make sure all FEEs have booted

 

- Start MIDAS

    select server start icon (leftmost)                                                                                                                1x terminal session will appear

    Start browser tab localhost:8015

   

   Data Acquisition Control Services

   Update (nothing should change)

 

   Act on all Data acquisition server TICKED

   RESET

   SETUP

 

   Enable histograms and waveforms

 

   Open ASIC control via Experiment control -> AIDA hardware control

   Act on all FEE64 modules

   Act on all ASICS

   System functions -> Check ASIC control

 

Check FEE64 temperatures (Reload)

 

System wide checks

      Select required function -> SynchroniseClock

      Select required function -> Collect white rabbit baseline, collect FPGA baselines

      Check Clock

      Check White Rabbit

      Check FPGA

 

FADC Align & Check - all FEE64s

Drop down -> calibrate ADCs

System wide checks

    Check ADC calibration

If any FEE fails, FADC calibrate it again

 

DAQ GO

 

WR timestamp                                                                                                                                    check WR timestamp monotonically increases aida01- >aida16

 

To startup Merger and Tape Server

 

DAQ STOP

 

8115 server, tape server, merger -> from buttons on top

             3x terminal sessions will appear

Start browser tab localhost:8115

New Merge control

Tape Service

NetVar Service

 

Merger tab

    (top) setup

    go (ignore error message)

    enable output to data storage                                                                                                                        Merger State = GOing : merge/running : xfer Links => Merger => Storage

 

tape server

  Inquire Available Devices

  Allocate Device

 

  Enter volume name (if already defined)

  Mount volume

  Reload

  Set run number

  Open file

 

  Open a new terminal

  Navigate to /TapeData/ and the volume name

  watch ls - lht

 

  Enable data transfer #1 (in Run Control)

  X should appear next to every FEE

 

Check netvar variable NetVar.MERGE.RunOptions = 1

 

DAQ GO

   check merger rate and activity of all FEE64s

   check tape server blocks written number is increasing

Server state -> Go
