======Starting the ASIC Chip====== The steps necessary to launch the ASIC chip are described here. Starting at the HadanaPC3, connect to the DEPC002, and from there to the rio4-1: agmaas@hadanapc3:~$ ssh mbsdaq@10.106.11.18 mbsdaq@depc002:~$ ssh rio4-1 Now you open the folder hit_mainz/, where the folders HitDetection2Cmd/ and HitDetectionMBS/ are: RIO4-1 mbsdaq > cd hit_mainz/ In two terminals open the two new folders: RIO4-1 mbsdaq > cd HitDetection2Cmd/ RIO4-1 mbsdaq > cd HitDetectionMBS/ ===FPGA as clock=== Next you need to start the clock for the ASIC chip. A FPGA-board is used as the clock. To turn on the FPGA-board, flip the switch on the front right side of the board. The FPGA-board is programmed from the HadanaPC4. There will be in the Folder /home/agmass/KCU105/lvds_clk a lvds_clk.xpr file. agmaas@hadanapc4:~$ cd KCU105/ agmaas@hadanapc4:~ /KCU105 ls agmaas@hadanapc4:~ /KCU105 cd lvds_clk agmaas@hadanapc4:~ /KCU105/lvds_clk$ vivado18 This will start the GUI to operate the FPGA. Select directly or first navigate to the lvds_clk project and open it. Now in the bottom left open the hardware manager and open "target" in the top middle and press auto connect. If the xcku040_0 shows "not connected", right click on it and choose program device and confirm with program. ===HitDetection2Cmd=== Now turn on the power supply for the chip. On the HadanaPC3 navigate to the setup_chip.txt file on the desktop and copy the first line into the terminal where you open the HitDetection2Cmd/ RIO4-1 mbsdaq > InitHitDet -a=8 --direct --init --peer=0f --rate=4 --scramble=1 In the terminal in the bottom left execute the last command. This will start the GUI for the measurements: mbsdaq@depc002:~/dabc/trunk$ export HTPORT=8119; mbsdaq@depc002:~/dabc/trunk$ export REMNODE=rio4-1; mbsdaq@depc002:~/dabc/trunk$ ${DABCSYS}/bin/dabc_exe ${DABCSYS}/plugins/mbs/app/web-mbs-gui-remote.xml The link will be found here: http://10.106.11.18:8119/MBS/rio4-1/ControlGUI/ ===HitDetectionMBS=== In the terminal where HitDetectionMBS/ was opened, we perform a reset and wait 3 seconds for a second reset. After that we connect with the GUI and then start the data acquisition: RIO4-1 mbsdaq > resl (3sec.) RIO4-1 mbsdaq > resl ... RIO4-1 mbsdaq > mbs -dabc ... @startup To see the raw data, execute the command: ty ev -v
