CAEN-scripts

Scripts to check status and perform simple operations on CAEN V1730 digitizers.

• CAENBoardInfo.cc prints the serial number, firmware and driver releases of V1730 digitizers and their A3818 bridges.
• CAENStatus.cc prints the acquisition status, board failure status and channel status of V1730 digitizers.
• CAENReset.cc sends a software reset signal to V1730 digitizers. All internal registers and states are restored to default values. Data buffers are cleared.
• CAENBridgeReset.cc sends a software reset signal to the A3818 VME bridge.
• CAENClockOut.cc configures V1730 digitizers to route their internal clocks to TRGOUT for diagnosis.
• CAENClockPhaseOut.cc configures V1730 digitizers to route their internal clock phases to TRGOUT for diagnosis.
• CAENReadRegister.cc prints the values of the list of registers provided in input.

In addition, the following scripts can be used to run the pre-compiled executable on all PMT servers at once:

• run_CAENStatus_all.sh
• run_CAENReset_all.sh

Instructions

CAENDigitizer, CAENComm and CAENVMElib libraries are required. These are available on ICARUS DAQ clusters after setting up a DAQ development area with the usual instructions.

The scripts require a standard cmake + make build:

cmake -B /path/to/build/dir -S /path/to/source/dir
cd /path/to/build/dir
make
