Testbench operations

Russian version
Load serial data:

ssh phnxrc@phoncsc
cd $ARCNET_DATA/emc/tb
init_emctb.pl

Start terminals for iocondevs and runcontrol GUI:

ssh phnxrc@phoncsc
ts iocondev13
ts iocondev1e
rc -standalone

Make sure that zero suppresion is off (Options->Config Readout->Zero Suppression->Off)
Press Download
Press Open
Press Calibration
To analyse data one can use Terry's code:

ssh phnxrc@va042.phenix.bnl.gov
cd ~/awes/Testbench/
root -l
 gSystem->Load("libemcOMpg.so");
 .x fullInit.C
 .x fullBook.C(1)
 .L fullRead.C
 fullRead(full_prdf_file_name,run_number)
 .q
root -l
 .x scanAK.C(run_number))

Usually prdf files are stored in $STANDALONE_DISK/calibdata

Please put testbench results to the EmCal database For setting testbench up starting from the very beginning one should do the following steps.

Connect all cables and turn power on
Load serial data through arcnet
Load DCM and GTM
Take a run and analyse it
Make a record in the EmCal database

Assembling testbench

In this section the most important tip is the following. If you do not know that to do call John Haggerty or Terry Awes.
Testbench

Click on a block to see the picture of this hardware

If you know that to do but forgot it do the following steps.

Check if GTM/DCM crate and Arcnet hub are on
Make sure that cables are connected properly.
- Arcnet cable should connect arnet hub and arcnet card in the testbench FEM
- GTM fiber should connect GTM output somethere on the back side of GTM crate and GTM input socket on the testbench FEM
- DCM fiber should connect DSP#3 input on the DCM and DCM output socket on the testbench FEM
- DCM busy cable should be connected to GTM busy input
- Power cable should be plugged
Turn 6.5V power on
The testbench FEM must be visible. From phoncs4 (Sun mashine next to the testbench FEM) issue:
```
/home/phoncs/arcnet/utility/netmap
```
Nodes 1 and 255 must be on.

Taking data

Under phnxrc account load serial data to the FEM:
```
ssh phnxrc@phoncsc.phenix.bnl.gov
ts iocondev1e
cd $ARCNET_DATA/emc/tb
./init_emctb.pl 
```
This must load $ARCNET_DATA/emc/acf/emc_tb_long_gray_1fem.acf config file

Check if appropriate pcf file is loaded to the DCM.
In file $RC_HW_CONF/emc.tb.pcf only DSP#3 must be included to readout.
If it points to emc.tb.pcf.29102004 it should be OK.

[phnxrc@phoncsc]$ ll $RC_HW_CONF/emc.tb.pcf
lrwxrwxrwx    1 phnxrc   rhphenix       19 Jun  3 13:15 /export/software/oncs/online_configuration/rc/hw/emc.tb.pcf -> emc.tb.pcf.29102004

Start terminal for icondev1e :
```
ts iocondev13
```

Start run control GUI

ssh phnxrc@phoncsc.phenix.bnl.gov
rc -standalone
Choose EMC.TB

Make sure that zero suppresion is off (Options->Config Readout->Zero Suppression->Off)
Make sure that alternate data format is chosen (Options->Config Readout->Data Format->Alternate)
Press Download
Press OK green button, then press File->Load Mode Bits. Chose GTM.emc_tb_AK_11272006.gtm. Change clock source to Internal. Press Open
Press Start
Press Calibration

To analyse data one can use Terry's code:

ssh phnxrc@va042.phenix.bnl.gov
cd ~/awes/Testbench/
root -l
 gSystem->Load("libemcOMpg.so");
 .x fullInit.C
 .x fullBook.C(1)
 .L fullRead.C
 fullRead(full_prdf_file_name,run_number)
 .q
root -l
 .x scanAK.C(run_number))

Usually prdf files are stored in $STANDALONE_DISK/calibdata

Please put testbench results to the EmCal database
