Jan | DAQ | running DRASI for (p,g) |
We now have a drasi DAQ running for our (p,g) experiments.
The RIO we have it installed right now is: r4l-58
It shall be used with the user <litv-exp>
The DAQ-controle shall be done from lxg1275 inside a SCREEN SESSION named "daq"
tab 0 >> drasi
tab 1 >> logger
tab 2 >> rate
tab 3 >> stream server
tab 4 >> file writing (optional)
To check and control running daq:
login on lxg1275
> ssh litv-exp@lxg1275
enter screen session
> screen -x daq
DRASI
go to tab 0
> ctrl-a 0
should be quite, no errors showing, no terminal outputs
full restart proceedure
> ssh r4l-58
> cd esrdaq_2018/r4l-58
> ./start.sh (for det. triggered daq)
> ./pulser.sh (for internal pulser trigger)
> ctrl-c (for killing daq)
LOGGER
go to tab 1
> ctrl-a 1
should be quite, no errors showing, no terminal outputs
full restart proceedure
> ssh r4l-58
> cd esrdaq_2018/r4l-58
> ./logger.sh
RATE MONITOR
go to tab 2
> ctrl-a 2
rates should update each second
"incr" should be event rate per sec
"send" column should be reasonable value if data is written
full restart proceedure
> ssh r4l-58
> cd esrdaq_2018/r4l-58
> ./rate.sh
EMPTY STREAM SERVER
go to tab 3
> ctrl-a 3
empty stream should be running
number of processed events should keep increasing
you should see the number of clients connected
full restart proceedure (on lxg1275)
> empty stream://r4l-58 --server=stream:6002
WRITE A FILE
can be done by litv-exp from any lgx-machine
ROOT FILE:
> e127_unpack --stream=lxg1275 --ntuple=RAW,/data.local1/e127/pre_data/file.root
LMD FILE:
> e127_unpack --stream=lxg1275 --output=/data.local1/e127/pre_data/test.lmd
COMMENT: better use a transport server for reliable data writing: https://elog.gsi.de/esr/NucAR+lab/2 |

Jan | DAQ | ucesb: transport & stream servers |
TRANSPORT SERVER
> for writing lmd files
the transport servers provided by ucesb are made for reliable data writing. This means the will not miss any
data processed by the daq, but the data taking of the daq will be limited by the writing speed.
STREAM SERVER
> for online/quick check
the stream is able to neglect events which the client cannot process fast enough. So events/data will be missing
if writing is slower than data taking. This is good for online monitors etc. |

Description
-----------
CAEN Modules listed above are conform to USB Communication Device Class Abstract Control Model
(= USB CDC ACM) that is supported by Linux kernel since version 2.6.x
If recognized by Linux OS, CAEN Module is assigned to serial port with name /dev/ttyACM[x], where [x] is device number;
for example 1st module connected is /dev/ttyACM0, 2nd module is /dev/ttyACM1 etc. See more details with the dmesg command.
In some Linux distributions the module is not recognized and it has to be added manually with the command:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x21e1 product= [id]
The product id can be found running the command dmesg after connecting the module.
Once added the module, to get the serial port name (e.g. ttyUSB0), use dmesg command.

Jan | SlowControl | RasPi backups |
Using this commands i made an image of an sd card of the epics_pi_v0:
sudo dd bs=4M if=/dev/mmcblk0 | gzip > /home/litv-exp/slow_control/sd_card_backups/epics_pi_v0.gz
To make clones of the sd card use the command:
sudo gzip -dc /home/litv-exp/slow_control/sd_card_backups/epics_pi_v0.gz | dd bs=4M of=/dev/mmcblk0
This was done on astrum1 laptop (ATPNBG004). |

Jan | DAQ | changing VME hardware of the DAQ (drasi) |
Here is a brief description of how to change the VME hardware of an exisiting DAQ system to a new configuration.
Our DAQ folders are located in /lynx/Lynx/esr/usr/litv-exp/
The current DAQ running on a specific rio4 is always located in a subfolder named as the hostname of the rio4, e.g. r4l-58.
If you want to change the DAQ on this rio you have to change the config in this folder. Be aware, that the folder name HAS TO BE THE HOSTNAME, no exeptions are allowed! Because of this the r4l-XX folders are usually softlinks to further folders, that contain different versions of the DAQ.
In practice this means:
1. copy the current folder (e.g. r4l-58_dev) to a new one (e.g. r4l-58_new) and make sure that the link (r4l-58) is set to your new folder (ln -s /../r4l-58_new /../r4l-58)
2. change the hardware of your VME crate and check all VME addresses
3. edit main.cfg in your new DAQ folder, see the example attached here
- always have a BARRIER between the modules
- make sure you get the VME addresses right (MesyTec, CAEN board specialties)
- the order of the modules in this file from top to bottom is important for the next step!
4. edit your start.sh script and all connected scripts and config-files (trloii_setup.sh, vulom.trlo..., a dedicated entry for vulom-configuration will follow)
- check if DAQ in running, when triggers are provided
5. set up a new unpacker
-go to the unpacker directory /u/litv-exp/unpacker/unpackexps/ and copy the old unpacker to a new directory:
-> cp -r old_up new_up
-rename the main .spec file:
-> cd new_up
-> mv old_up.spec new_up.spec
-open the Makefile with editor, search and replace "old_up" by "new_up", try compiling:
-> make clean
-> make -j
6. configure the data structure of the unpacker
-make sure you have all the module spec-files that you need included in "new_up.spec", check nurdlib or Hans Törnqvist/Basti Löher in case you do not have it
-edit the "main_user_esr.spec" to include all your modules (see example attached)
-the (geom=0x1) field of each module has to be numbered according to the module order in the main.cfg above, starting from 0x1, some modules require additional things (crate=0)
-edit the "det_mapping.hh" to assign names and types for each channel (example attached)
-recompile and check upacker with running data stream from the daq:
-> make -j
-> ./new_up --stream=r4l-58 --debug (will print only error events) |

Jan | DAQ | vulom4ctrl usage |
To use the ctrl binary for the vulom4 you need to find the binary in you trloii directory on the RIO4.
For 2020/21 E127 this is at
/esr/usr/litv-exp/2020_e127/trloii/trloctrl/fw_426cb99c_trlo/bin_ppc-linux_4.2.2/trlo_ctrl
An example for this DAQ is:
trlo_ctrl --addr=5 --mux-src-scalers (this shows the scaler rates for all vulom I/O)
The complete usage:
--addr=HEX Module address (HEX=dummy for dummy).
--clear-setup Set all setup to 0 (muxes to wired 0).
--print-config[=debug] Show configuration.
--trig-status[=n] Print trigger status. (every n s.)
--mux-src-scalers[=NAME,n,ptn,rate,limit=i,reset]
Dump all MUX source scalers, or per requested NAMEs.
Show currently active pattern (ptn, : or *).
Difference or (rate). Every n s (default 1).
Limit to #i displays. Reset scalers.
--config=FILE Load command file (to memory only).
--call=SECTION Execute SECTION from loaded configuration.
--cmd="EXPR" Execute EXPR as an command.
--show[=setup,dest,src] Show available setup parameters, etc.
--tracer[=single] Soft-scope for TRIG LMU inputs.
--sampler=ecl-in-N|ecl-io-in-N|lemo-in-N
Multi-hit timer-latch (stop with Ctrl+C).
--rec-mlatch=A,B,[diff] Multi-hit timer-latch #A,#B,... record to stdout.
--serial-stamp-rate Test serial receiver rate. (Avoid with running DAQ).
--debug[=N] Debugging of tracer and sampler.
--addrtest Run VME test; address readback.
--ramtest Run VME test; RAM block write/read.
--rawread:ADDROFF Read from VULOM at given VME offset.
--rawwrite:ADDROFF=VALUE Write to VULOM at given VME offset. |

Jan | misc | screen config and specialties |
A brief summary of handy features of screen useful, e.g., for daq operation.
1. invoke screen with a prepared config file
This will automatically set up a prepared environmentscreen -S session-name -c config_file an example config_file is attached: ".screen_e127"
it includes key-bindings, several prepared tabs and a bunch of commands for each tab and was used in 2020 for e127 experiment.
2. send external commands into a specific tab of a specific screen sessionscreen -S e127 -p 0 -X stuff "^C"
screen -S e127 -p 0 -X stuff "sleep 2;./start.sh^M"
screen -S e127 -p 4 -X stuff "sleep 10; empty stream://r4l-58 --server=stream:6002^M" With this the remote control of screen by a GUI or so is possible.
This injects ctrl-c:stuff "^C"
And each command has to submitted with the concluding <RETURN>: stuff "top^M"
3. enable passwordless ssh inside a screen
When you invoke screen as a child of ssh-agent and you have encrypted ssh-keys set, you need to type the passphrase only once before opening the screen. Any internal ssh then won't need password. exec /usr/bin/ssh-agent xterm -g 100x20 -e "ssh-add; screen -S session-name -c config_file" & Here you start an xterm that will be killed as soon as the screen terminates. Only inside this xterm your ssh-agent has the keys. ssh-add will only find keys in default location ~/.ssh/ but you could also specify a certain key. |

Jan | DAQ | UDP rates |
short summary of how to adapt the UDP reader source code.
With the current code only one daq node can be read/printed at a time.
Use different implementations of udp_reader to get access to the LMU_SCALERS from different daq nodes.
Only one generic instance of udp_repeater is needed for this.
In udp_reader.c there are the following important parameters:
- DAQ_node alias for ip-addresses [around line 65]:#define R4L_58 ADDR(10, 99, 2, 39) add new alias for new daq node
- names of channels:c_lmu_label[] this is a list for all 16 ECL_INs (left column) and 16 TPATs (right column)
- layout of terminal output:draw_header() show_lmu() show_lmu_line() |

Jan | SlowControl | ser2net |
ser2net can be used to forward /dev/ttyUSBx or /dev/ttySx to a tcp port.
One can then use telnet for connecting.
The config has to be done in /etc/ser2net.conf
This is an example:
3333:telnet:0:/dev/ttyUSB1:9600 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT
Here ttyUSB1 with the named options is forwarded to telnet port 3333 on the local machine.
You then need to start "/sbin/ser2net"
You can stop it by "sudo service ser2net stop"
This is realized on atpnuc006 now. |

Jan | DAQ | How to flash a vulom |
The vulom can be flashed via VME-bus from the RIO by using the binaries located here:
/nfs/groups/daq/usr/kurz/gsi_vme/flash/vulom/
There are subdirectories for several platforms, like
RIO4_Linux_2.6.33 (this is for our linux-RIOs)
RIO4_Linux_2.6
RIO4_Lynx
RIO3_...
IPV_...
IFC will follow soon...
The binaries needed for flashing are the following:
eraseflash <add> <slot>
progflash <add> <slot> <bitfile>
veriflash <add> <slot> <bitfile>
restart <add> <slot>
When invoked in the above order, things should work.
For 2.6.33 there are ALIASes:
vulom_erase
vulom_flash
vulom_verify
vulom_reset
The bitfiles for vulom4b are located here:
/nfs/groups/daq/usr/kurz/gsi_vme/flash/vulom/bitfiles/ |

Jan | Detectors | DSSD W1 3305-09 - UI diagram |
Attached is the UI diagram of the new double-sided silicon strip detector (DSSD). [Micron W1, ID: 3305-9]
It was taken during the internship of Emily Voigt and Rebanna Klawitter.
Conditons:
- DSSD in dark test chamber
- under atmosphere pressure
- no alpha source or similar
Analysis:
The current is roughly linear with voltage up to values of about 110-120V. After this point the current increases more slowly, kind of a plateau.
The comparison to an older measurement [https://elog.gsi.de/esr/E127/292] with another, identical DSSD is not fully understood. No plateau seems to reached in the range up to 150V. The currents are also significanlty higher.
Conclusion:
Save operation is possible up to 100V.
Voltages above 100V should only be used in case of ion damage and related performance losses. |

Jan | DAQ | MBS with IFC or RIO4 |
Nik Kurz has setup an mbs-system for me to run with the new IFC, but it is also compatible to the RIO4 (and other VME CPUs).
The special thing about this setup is, that the VULOM priority encoder is exchanged the the VULOM trloii. Special care about the trloii-config needs to be taken.
To change the VME CPU one has to change 2 files and recompile.
1) setup.usf -> there are setup.usf.ifc and setup.usf.rioXX... the file used (setup.usf) needs to be overwritten by the one with the right extension
2) startup.scom -> same here, the used file (startup.scom) needs to be overwritten by the file with the right extension (startup.scom.ifc)
3) make clean; make

Jan | DAQ | MBS - module addressing |
This entry refers to the MBS template from Nik Kurz found at /esr/usr/litv-exp/MBS/templates/2024_MBS_R2_R4_IFC_v1 or similar.
To find the right VME address for your modules, you need the (1) base address, (2) module space and (3) module offset. You simply add those three hex numbers to get the individual module address.
Example:
V830[2] is the third V830 in this DAQ and has index 2.
It has
(1)=0x7000000
(2)=0x400000
(3)=0x20000.
Added up this yields
0x07440000
So you have to set 0x0744 on the module.
Details:
(1) the base is ususally 0x0700.0000. You only need the 4 hi bits, i.e. 0x0700. It can be readout in setup.usf, there is a line like this:
-------
LOC_MEM_BASE = (0xe7000000, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0,-
-------
(2) the module space is the start address of the range foreseen for this kind of module in the template. It is defined in the f_used.c:
-------
#define ADDR_OFF_VMMR 0x10000
#define ADDR_OFF_MDPP 0x100000
#define ADDR_OFF_V775 0x200000
#define ADDR_OFF_V785 0x300000
#define ADDR_OFF_V830 0x400000
#define ADDR_OFF_MADC 0x500000
#define ADDR_OFF_MTDC 0x600000
#define ADDR_OFF_VUL_SCAL 0x1000000
-------
(3) the module offset is an incremental offset from the start address given to modules of higher index than 0. The second module of a type has index 1 and will get the offset once, while the first module
does not get an offset. The offset along with the number of modules of a kind is defined in the f_user.c:
-------
#define N_VMMR 0
#define VMMR_OFF 0x20000
#define N_MDPP 0
#define MDPP_OFF 0x20000
#define N_V775 0
#define N_V775_CHA 32
#define V775_OFF 0x20000
#define N_V785 0
#define N_V785_CHA 32
#define V785_OFF 0x20000
#define N_V830 1
#define N_V830_CHA 32
#define V830_OFF 0x20000
#define N_MADC 0
#define N_MADC_CHA 32
#define MADC_OFF 0x20000
#define N_MTDC 0
#define N_MTDC_CHA 32
#define MTDC_OFF 0x20000
#define N_VUL_SCAL 0
#define N_VUL_SCAL_CHA 32
#define VUL_SCAL_OFF 0x1000000

Jan | DAQ | MBS cheat sheet |
General
- to start MBS, always navigate to the folder containing the f_user.c setup for your hardware
- it is recommended to start MBS in a sceen session (see at the bottom)
- use MBS scripts to do initialitation "startup.scom", shutdown "shutdown.scom" or file writing "runstart.scom"/"runstop.scom" and other things
these scripts are simple lists of MBS shell commands, one per row
they should be in your MBS folder and can be created or adjusted as needed
TCSH/BASH terminal of your MBS node:
|
command | comment
| > mbs | starts the mbs shell
| > resl | stops all running mbs services (use to kill DAQ from a different terminal)
| > rate | status monitor for MBS data I/O on this node
| > ratf | same as "rate" but with full file /dir/name
| [CTRL] + [Z] | exit MBS shell
|
In the MBS shell
command parts in parenthesis () are optional/autocompleted
optional arguments are given in {}
Initialization & status
|
command | comment
| mbs> @startup | call the startup script, if existing, it should setup everything
| mbs> sh(ow) ac(quisition) | show the status of the aquisition (RUNNING, OUTPUT DEVICE, FILE OPEN, etc)
| mbs> sh(ow) f(ile) | show the file status
| mbs> t(ype) e(vent) {X} {-v} | display header of next X events, -v option also displays the data part
| [CTRL] + [Z] | exit MBS shell
|
File handling
While it is possible to directly write into the /home/ mounted by your MBS user, it is highly recommended to use an RFIO server to write to an external disk. Direct local file writing will go to the one disk any of the MBS users work on with their DAQs. This might lead to perfomance problems for others and in the worst case (the disk is full), no one can use MBS.
|
command | comment
| mbs> co(nnect) rfio linuxpc.gsi.de -DISK | connect to a running RFIO server on the pc linuxpc.gsi.de (see below)
| mbs> disc(onnect) rfio | disconnect the RFIO server
| mbs> op(en) f(ile) /path/to/storage/place/file.lmd -disk | open a file on the local disk (not recommended)
| mbs> op(en) f(ile) /path/to/storage/place/file.lmd -rfio | open a file and send to RFIO server (recommended)
| mbs> op(en) f(ile) file.lmd -rfio {-auto} | -auto does automatic filename numbering, next number given in filenum.set, new file after 1GB file size
| mbs> op(en) f(ile) file.lmd -rfio {-auto} {first=Y} | first=Y sets the first file number for -auto and resets number in filenum.set
| mbs> op(en) f(ile) file.lmd -rfio {-auto} {size=X} | size=X sets the maximum file size in MB for -auto to open a new file automatically
| mbs> cl(ose) f(ile) | close the current file (regardless of how it was opened)
| mbs> |
| mbs> |
| mbs> |

Jan | DAQ | SIS3820 in MBS |
Michael Reese and Nik Kurz implemented the SIS3820 scaler module in MBS to be used with RIO4, IFC and MVLC.
Attached is zipped folder for usage with RIO4/IFC (f_user.c, etc.).
Below is the email by Michael with some explanation and the config needed to implement the module in MVME for use with the MVLC.
######################################################
############ EMAIL by M.Reese 02.10.2024 #############
######################################################
Hallo Jan,
Das SIS3820 Scaler Modul muss auf Adresse 0x08000000 eingedreht werden.
Das NIM-Signal, das die Scaler "latchen" soll, muss für alle Konfigurationen (RIO4/IFC/MVLC) in "input 1" rein. In dem 8er-LEMO-Block ist das der input unten links.
RIO/IFC
Die modifizierte f_user.c fuer SIS3820 readout mit RIO4 / IFC ist hier:
/daq/usr/mreese/mbsrun/rio4l_mesytec_MADC32_test/f_user.c
MVLC
Für MVLC habe ich zwei Readout-Varianten implementiert, du musst mal schauen welche besser für eure Anwendung passt.
1) Readout über die "Shadow Register". Die latchen die Counter wenn auf "input 1" ein Signal kommt. Diesen Readout kann man entweder mit Blocktransfer oder mit Single Cycle machen. Im Single Cycle kannst du beliebige Subsets an Register wählen. Im Blocktransfer nur zusammenhängende Register. Hier liegen die Daten ab Adresse 0x800.
2) Readout über FIFO. Es gibt hier eine Bitmaske "copy disable register", über die man bestimmen kann welche Counter nicht in die FIFO geschrieben werden. Da es "copy disable" heißt, bedeutet '0' dass der Counter in die Daten kopiert wird. Die Daten werden aus Adresse 0x800000 gelesen, also andere Adresse als die Shadow Register. Hier muss man aufpassen, dass man beim Blocktransfer immer genau die korrekte Anzahl an Werten liest, die in der "copy disable" Maske eingestellt sind. Ansonsten wird der Readout (aus unbekannten Gründen) sehr langsam. Im Prinzip ist das der schnellste Modus, insbesondere wenn du ein nicht zusammenhängendes Subset von Kanälen im Blocktransfer lesen willst. Aber es ist leider etwas komplizierter.
Wenn du die beiden Textabschnitte unten kopierst wie sie sind, dann bekommst du Variante 2) "MULTI CHANNEL SCALER".
Um umzuschalten "LATCHING SCALER" musst du unter der Zeile "# configure the operation mode register" die Zeile mit "mode of operation 0" nehmen, und im Readout Loop eine der beiden unteren Varianten nehmen (die auf Adresse 0x800 lesen).
Viele Grüsse,
Michael
