LATTE setup for Linux users

User setup

1. Setup the environment:

  setenv ONLINE_PACKAGES /afs/slac.stanford.edu/g/glast/online/packages
  setenv CVSROOT /nfs/slac/g/glast/online/cvsroot
  setenv ONLINE_ROOT ${HOME}/glast
  setenv PYTHONPATH ${ONLINE_ROOT}:${ONLINE_ROOT}/LATTE/ext
  setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${ONLINE_ROOT}/LATTE/ext

2. Get LATTE from cvs:

  cvs checkout LATTE

or, in case you want a specific tag:

  cvs checkout -r P04-03-01 LATTE

or, in case you checked out LATTE before and you want the latest greatest:

  cd LATTE
  cvs update -dA

3. Compile the python code, compile and link the c++ and c code, build the user interface files, create the digest data, set links to the external libraries:

  cd LATTE
  gmake

4. Load the VxWorks side as usual:

  cd "/nfs/slac/g/glast/vxw000/GASU/fsw"
  < startup-ACD-P.vx

5. Start runcontrol, eg:

  cd LATTE/start
  $ONLINE_PACKAGES/python/Python-2.3.4/python ./startupMainGUI.py --server lat-elf1 --schema ../repos/simpleAemSchema.xml --config runControl.cfg.sample

Notes

- ONLINE_PACKAGES contains all the external packages LATTE depends on (this variable is site dependent)

- CVSROOT contains the LATTE cvs repository (this variable is site dependent)

- ONLINE_ROOT points one directory above your LATTE location (this variable is user or teststand dependent)

- possible targets to gmake are lib, bin and clean; it's also possible to build a single sub directory, eg:

  cd LATTE
  gmake simulator.clean

- the VxWorks boot directory is site dependent

- the VxWorks script startup-ACD-P.vx is for ACD gasu primary side; other available scripts are startup-ACD-R.vx (for ACD gasu redundant side) and startup-ltem.vx (for TEM 0 connected to transition board)

- you can also run in local mode:

  cd LATTE
  ./bin/i386-linux/ocsmanager [playbackfile]

where playbackfile is the optional name of a file containing recorded events
