Here are the waveform records with size of '''8192''', N9 are inner and N10 are outer:
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N9:raw_XP</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N9:raw_XM</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N9:raw_YP</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N9:raw_YM</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N10:raw_XP</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N10:raw_XM</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N10:raw_YP</code>
+
*<code>iochdcol:BPM:N10:raw_YM</code>
+

These are the 16-bit count readings for individual plates that are always available and filtered down to ~1Hz (same order as above):
+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC1_1</code>
+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC2_1</code>
+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC3_1</code>
+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC4_1</code>

+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC2_2</code>
+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC3_2</code>
+
*<code>IOCHDCOL:VMICADC4_2</code>
+

And the gains:

*<code>IPMHDACI_GainSub</code>

*<code>IPMHDACI_GAINXP</code>

*<code>IPMHDACI_GAINXM</code>

*<code>IPMHDACI_GAINYP</code>
+
*<code>IPMHDACI_GAINYM</code>

Active Collimator

Control and DAQ

The Active Collimator screens are here:

Monticello -> BPM (1st blue button) -> Hall D Active Collimator Diagnostics

The preamp gains, 1Hz data and averaging/digital gain are on that screen. Go to the Raw Wire Data button for the individual plots and Time Domain Graph HDACI/O for positions.

High Speed ROOT File Writer

An EPICS IOC server is set up on gluon29.jlab.org:26064 to write the raw waveform data to /gluonraid1/Users/ac directory on demand.

The control of this High Speed DAQ can be found in Hall-D's EPICS GUI:

  1. Open CSS EPICS Control following instructions
  2. From Main Action Bar, open Active Collimator GUI.
  3. Start or Stop the High Speed ROOT File by clicking the button underneath the title.
  4. Once started, make sure the a new ROOT file is created and the File Size is increasing.

In very rare occasions, e.g. some one rebooted the AC DAQ server, the writer IOC needs to be restarted

Reboot using command lines
  1. Log onto gluon29 using hdsys account
  2. telnet localhost 26064
  3. Restart the IOC by keyboard combination Ctrl+X
  4. Exit the IOC proServer by keyboard combination Ctrl+]
  5. Exit the telnet by typing quit

Raw Data Analyzer

From Active Collimator GUI
  1. Click the Analyzer button in the PXI Fast DAQ section.
From a Linux terminal
  1. log onto a gluon machine, e.g. gluon30.jlab.org, using account hdops: ssh -X hdops@gluon30
  2. enter acanalyzer directory: cd ~\acanalyzer
  3. start the analyzer script: ./run
  4. in the analyzer, open a collection of raw data files or a processed ROOT file and start the analysis.
