Minutes

DAQ groups contribution

  • There was a meeting where they discussed who will work on the threes tasks specified by Elliott:
  • Farm management software - Carl
  • Simulation of raw data - Carl
  • Automated readout list - Bryan


Test Stand

  • Test stand is in Room 126 in EEL building.
  • Currently includes a VME crate, CAEN SY1527 HV crate, AB 1756 chassis with a processor, 1734 chassis on a DIN-rail.
  • EPICS driver for VME/VXS crate control exists and working.
  • CAEN SY1527 EPICS driver in progress.
  • PLC firmware and software is being stalled.
  • The problem with DHCP and PXE booting for the new Linux-based VME CPUs has not been resolve. The CPUs boot on Bryan's and Sergey's networks, but they did not get DHCP offer (may be 1 out of 10) on 36 subnet.


Server/Client on ROCs

  • Sasha is developing a software to quickly request information from ROCs based on ROOT classes. This will help him in development of the trigger software using FADCs.
  • The work is in progress, one of the goals is to specify what we need to specify to electronics group for the scalers on FADCs.


DANA/Event display communications

  • Andrew could not connect to JLab last couple of weeks due to the cyber event.
  • Event display is done except for 3D related itmes.
  • DANA-event display communication is complete.
  • Andrew can work on this project up until May.
  • The software is kept in CLAS12 SVN repository.
  • The geometry of the Event Display is defined in a file. The DANA reconstruction also uses another file to define geometry, so the geometry is taken from 3 different places.
