Instructions for the start-up
Turn on VME crates and PIT hardware
- in the crate next to the table with the computer screens turn on the router and the trigger crate
- to turn on the PIT hardware turn on both power supplies below the router crate
- turn on all computers
Start the interlock system
- turn on the big HP data acquisition box (under pcspd2204 computer in the CAEN crate), press the button which says "LINE"
- log into pcspd2204 with apixel account
- ckech the GPIB-USB interface. NOTE: if the computer was rebooted, the GPIB-USB user interface is not detected properly, therefore unplug it (the USB cable behind pcspd2204) and plug it again
- go to C:\interlock-dsf and open the labview panel Interlock Master Control.vi
- Set the interlock temperature in the Config panel and put 0 ms to the Read Cycle
- RUN Interlock Master Control.vi
- run PlotTemp* to get the graph of the temperatures for the modules on the sector and on the telescope
Turn on the water cooling for the test half-staves
- turn on the switch of the power supply that looks like a computer on the sector table
- turn on the fan next to the test half-staves
Start the CAEN system
- turn on the CAEN mainframe with the key (on "local")
- from aldcslab005 launch "telnetCaen" (on the Desktop) and start a telnet connection with CAEN, otherwise from the command prompt use the command "telnet spdcaen 1527"
- go to the bottom of the channel list and turn on the 48 V power supplies
- with the tab key go under "Utility" and press "Clear alarms" twice
Send a TTC init
- from pcaldrefgdc4 do ssh spd@lnxpool31
- run the command "vmecrate ltu"
- press the button Configuration -> LTUinit
- press the button Configuration -> TTCinit
- check if the QPLL of the link receivers in the router crate are locked
FOR LABVIEW ONLY - Run the VME resource manager
- make sure that LabView and the SPD FED are not running
- click on the icon on the desktop "Measurement & Automation"
- go to Tool -> NI-VXI -> VXI Resource Maganer and let it run
Reset the router interlock
- from spdfed0 launch the LabView panel C:\LabView\RouterSoftware\Router_Test_2.vi
- go to all used routers (at the moment the telescope is connected to router 4) and reset/write all temperature limit values
Start the DIM DNS on spdfed0
- from aldcslab005 run the software C:\DIM\dim_v20r7\bin\dns.exe
Start the SPD FED server
- from aldcslab005 go to D:\SpdFED\sideA and launch SPD_FEDServer
- go to D:\SpdFED\sideC and launch SPD_FEDServer
Open SPD user interface in PVSS
-
login with Remote Desktop to pcpix100
- from the start menu launch PVSS Project Administration
- select spd_c and start the project
-
login with Remote Desktop to spdtbfed0
- from the start menu launch PVSS Project Administration
- select spd_a and start the project
-
login with Remote Desktop to pcpix108
- from the start menu launch PVSS Project Administration
- select spd_dcs and click on "open project console" (Ctrl+O). The log viewer will also open automatically
- the User Interface opens automatically, if not launch C:\PVSSProjects\spd_dcs_20081030\userInterface.bat
Open PIT user interface in PVSS
- do a Remote Desktop on pcpix106, from the Start launch PVSS Project Administration
- select spd_pit and click on "start". The log viewer will also open automatically
- select the User Interface with the option -m gedi and start it
- open the panel dcsUi/dcsUiMainPanel.pnl (username pit)
Start the DAQ
- from pcaldrefgdc4 go to /date/runControl
- ./do_start_dim.sh
- open another terminal and go again to /date/runControl
- ./start_SMI.sh
- ./start_smi_rcservers.sh
- ./start_daqDomains.sh
- ./DAQCONTROL.sh (for the user interface)
- /date/infoLogger/infoLoggerServer.sh
- /date/infoLogger/infoLoggerReader.sh
- launch infoBrowser
Start the PIT FED server
- do an ssh to pcald19, the default folder is /home/pixeltrigger/
- from there type ./run_pitFed start
