How to start the error handler
- be sure that the SPD is not in data taking!
- go to spdFEElectronics -> Manual config -> Router settings
- click on "no data to DAQ" and "High multiplicity in CDH"
- click on "write all active"
- open Panel collection for experts -> Router error mask
- click on "Set to all", "Enable all errors", "Fastor errors in the data stream" and "Longer busy error"
- click on "Write", check with "Read"
- go to spdFEElectronics -> Manual config -> Router settings
- UN-tick "no data to DAQ" and click "write all active"
How to exclude Routers from the data taking
Procedure to follow when ALL the half-staves of the router are excluded from the FSM.
- go to Manual config -> Router settings
- tick "Exclude trigger from TTC" and "High multiplicity in CDH" and click "write"
- go to Manual config -> FanInFanOut
- untick to remove the router you want to exclude, click on write and then read for confirmation
- go to DCA - Alice DAQ panel and open "Select equipment"
- exclude the router
- click "Commit" and then "Quit"
FED servers down
- rdesktop to alispdwn010 and alispdwn011
- Start -> Administrative tools -> Services
- stop and start the spdfed_server service (for your info: the executable is in D:\spdFed\SPD_FEDServer.exe)
-
go back to SPD HI:
- Refresh ChList
- AutoConfig Router
- Load DB Configuration
- Config HS List
- Mask SPD
- if the PC needs to be restarted, go to Start -> Accessories -> Command prompt and type "shutdown -r -t 01"
- the PC will restart, then do actions from 2 to 4
How to program routers
- the programming files are stored on the working nodes (alispdwn010 for side A, and alispdwn011 for side C) under D:\spdFED\JamPlayer\router_jam_files
- the jamsof files are for the soft programming (erased after power cycle of the electronics), the jampof file are for permanent programming (stays after power cycle of the electronics)
- from the UI open spdFEElectronics -> Manual Config -> Router Settings -> Panel collection for experts -> Program Routers
- choose the program mode ("Program" for jampof files, "Configure" for jamsof files), the file path and the router to program and launch "Program routers"
-
BE CAREFUL!!!!
If the jamsof file is used, the programming procedure takes ~10 minutes per router, do not touch anything during this time
