Environmental variables

DAQ_HOME - local installation of DAQ settings

(be sure that setupcoda3 file is in this directory)

CODA_ROL - directory with readout lists

(example, /gluonfs1/gluex/release/0.1/src/rol/${RUN_CONF} )

CONF_DIR - directory with configuration files

(usually you place them at DAQ_HOME)

CODA Configuration

fcal_N6 - six north crates (rocfcal1- rocfcal6)

fcal_N2 - two north crates (rocfcal1 - rocfcal2)

fcal_S6 - six south crates (rocfcal7 - rocfcal12)

RUN Configuration

An example of how to start DAQ for the stand alone BCAL (four north or south crates) with the external pulser connected to the master TI.

   Login to gluon48 under hdops

       ssh hdops@gluon48 

   Load the environment

       source /gluex/Subsystems/FCAL/setupcoda3 

   Start DAQ for 4 north or south crates:

       fcal_N6_start or 
       fcal_S6_start

           note that the command to terminate all DAQ processes is for example

               fcal_N4_exit 

   Choose configuration: Configurations-->Coda Config-->bcal_s4 (or bcal_n4)
   Settings in the Run Control (you have to set these variables once if you edit coda configuration with jcedit)

       Set User --> Runtime Variables --> Config File to  /gluex/Subsystems/FCAL/fcal_led_ti/pulse
       Set User --> Runtime Variables --> List --> %(CODA_ROL) to /gluex/release/0.1/src/rol/fcal_led_ti/src/rol
