EUDET running with DUT

Instructions for data taking:

• Start of the run control:
• In the usual directory on eudaq type:
  
  • For DEPFET: ./STARTRUN_DEPFET
  • For MIMOROMA: ./STARTRUN_MIMOROMA
• Special config files for DEPFET:
• test_depfet_and_tel: internal trigger for pedestals.
• depfet_and_tel_zs: data taking with zero suppression (standard), rate about 30 Hz.
• depfet_and_tel: data taking in raw mode, rate about 4 Hz.
Attention: before clicking on start for a new run: even if the DEPFET claims to be configured in the Run Control Window, you have to check in the DEPFET producer window whether the DEPFET is ready (look for the message "CMD INITINIT Module(s):(8(1) done !! INIT_MOD=1 Host-silab22a"), otherwise your run will crash.
• Special config files for MIMOROMA:
• mimoroma2_tele_ped: internal trigger for pedestals.
• mimoroma2_tele_beamzs: data taking with zero suppression (standard), rate about 30 Hz (??).
• mimoroma2_tele_beam: data taking in raw mode, rate about 4 Hz.

Creating and uploading new pedestals:

• The pedestals are produced from the data taken with pedestal config file (e.g. test_depfet_and_tel or mimoroma_) in the following way
• From the (Parallels Desktop) linux window
• In /opt/ilc/data
• Type ./converter-script.sh [run number]
• Type: Marlin converter.xml
• Type ./pedestal-script.sh [run number]
• Type: Marlin pedestal.xml
• Check the histograms with root: root histo/run******-ped-histo.root (****** needs to be replaced by the run number)
• new TBrowser
• In the TBrowser: click ROOT files -> histo/run******-ped-histo.root -> PedestalAndNoiseCalculator -> loop-1
• If everything is fine and you want to use it as pedestal file, do the following:
• scp db/run******-ped-db-b* eudetmac:~/pedfiles (standard pwd)
  
• From the MAC window:
• Go to /Users/eudet/pedfiles
• Copy the pedestal file to the MVME: scp run******-ped-db-b* mvme6100:eudaq/pedestal/
• Go to /Users/eudet/eudaq/conf
• Open all config files where you want to put the new pedestal file (e.g. depfet_and_tel_zs.conf) and replace the run number in the line:
  PedestalFile = run******-ped-db-b%.dat

Possible problems and solutions:

• "event number mismatch" (red error in the Log Collector)
  
-> If it happens only once, ignore it, if it keeps reappearing, restart the DAQ completely (and write a message in the logbook!).
