Topics:
- Core (Selim)
- Hippodraw plots are now available as a widget for embedding
inside Qt windows
- Working on a GUI for displaying TEM (initially) monitoring data
- ACD (Connie)
- Release 11 installed, working with RunControl.
- Would like a button for single stepping code. Different than a
python debugger?
- Working with engineering
- Restarting VxWorks through ctrl-X, the reboot command, or the
RESET button on the SBC
- To clarify: In the window that communicates with the VxWorks
board, you can type Ctrl-X or “reboot” to reboot the board. You can also push the RST button on
the board itself to have the same effect.
- Ctrl-Break for stopping scripts and resetting connections.
- To clarify: A running python script can usually be stopped by
doing Ctrl-Break or Ctrl-C in the command prompt window where the script
is running. In some cases this
doesn’t work, in which case the running script can be killed by stopping
its servers. When using the
embedded system, reboot VxWorks on the SBC as described above. When using the local servers, stop
them by doing Ctrl-Break or Ctrl-C in the respective windows where
cmdSvr or evtSvr is running.
- CVS setup for subsystems. Need to be a SLAC user
- Confusion about how RunControl’s process() method is called as a
result of triggering. Connie will
send code to Ric for Online to comment on specifics
- Ric to generate some documentation on this
- CAL (Byron)
- Hippo problem – Code sent to Online to see whether we can
reproduce and understand the problem
- Simple HTML report generator, creates headers, tables
- Piping capability for keeping application information across RunControl
application invocations
- TKR (Johann)
- Added TKR module to the CVS repository
- Setup the test stand, scripts working OK
- Working on interfacing the myriad of TKR scripts with RunControl
- Working on setting up a common interface for the TKR scripts
- I&T/SVAC (Eduardo)
- Larry implementing scripts
- Calibration data file output
- TOT output
- Is charge injection for TOT data provided in the EGSE?
- Checking TOTs for linearity
- ELX (Curt)
- Next-gen pseudo-AEM test-stand (Mike’s G2)
- New ACD electronics (GARC, GAFE testers = son-of-bud-box) should
be about ready for Curt’s use
- Pseudo-AEM COMM card firmware update ready
- Testing to be done before it is handed to Online
- LCB driver document in progress
- I&T/IFCT (Larry)
- Functional tests for 4 tray mini tower test
- Charge injection scan, keeping threshold fixed
- Dead channel test
- Threshold scan
- Scintillator over tracker for forming a trigger
- Tracker single hit MIP efficiency
- Tracker TOT
- Extract info from data for the test report
