Scintillator
High Voltage
start server on VME PC:
- got to VME-PC
$ ssh 192. 168.10.11
$ cd ~/GEM_Proto/HV/WebHV/
$ ./SYMBhv -c HVconfig_CFD.conf
open a new terminal and start the GUI on hadanapc5:
$ cd ~/VME/HV_CAEN/build-HVgui
$ ./HVgui
Now the GUI window opens. Channel 2 is used for the scintillator. Set the trip current to 30 muA and set the max Voltage to 1500 V. Turn up the voltage to 1300 V, now you should be able to see signals.
QDC
Scaler
start Scaler on VME PC:
- got to VME-PC
$ ssh 192. 168.10.11
$ cd ~/Scaler_1000mus/src
$ ./scaler <number of channels> <dwell time [s]>
CFD
also on VME PC:
- got to VME-PC
$ ssh 192. 168.10.11
$ cd ~/CFD
$ ./cfd_control
- the CFD contrl reads the thresholds from the config.txt
Temperature Readout
- go to hadanapc2
- go to /home/beamtime22/
- make sure, vxi11 is executable. if not do so with
$ sudo chmod +x vxi11
- run BEAMTIME22_temperature_standalone.py which requires >python2.7 and no additional package
- in the script, you can adjust the
TIMEOUT = 120
, which is the waiting time between measurement cycles andIP = “192.168.10.14”
, which is the ip address of the Keysight module - the last measurement is always print out in the console.
- the data for the upper and lower proto are saved in seperate files in the same directory.
- the time stamp is the standard unix one
