readout - Readout software and utilities

Appfwk DAQModules, utilities, and scripts for DUNE Upstream DAQ Readout Software.

Building

Clone the package into a work area as defined under the instructions of DUNE-DAQ Appfwk Wiki.

Examples

Before running the application, please download a small binary files that contains 120 WIB Frames from the following CERNBox link. Like:

curl https://cernbox.cern.ch/index.php/s/VAqNtn7bwuQtff3/download -o /tmp/frames.bin

For WIB2 frames, download the following file that contains 120 WIB-2 Frames from the following CERNBox link. Like:

curl https://cernbox.cern.ch/index.php/s/ocrHxSU8PucxphE/download -o /tmp/wib2-frames.bin

If you download it to a different destination, please update the path of the source file in the configuration that you will use below.

After succesfully building the package, from another terminal go to your workarea directory and set up the runtime environment:

dbt_setup_runtime_environment

After that, launch a readout emaulation via:

daq_application -c stdin://sourcecode/readout/test/fakereadout-commands.json

Then start typing commands as instructed by the command facility.

Enabling the fake TP source

The FakeCardReader module is capable of reading raw WIB TP data by enabling the corresponding link via configuration. Currently the fake TPs are read out from a binary file (with default location at /tmp/tp_frames.bin) and parsed using the "RawWibTp" format.

To get the "tp_frames.bin" TP data:

curl https://cernbox.cern.ch/index.php/s/686ndOgupTli2RW/download -o /tmp/tp_frames.bin

To test the fake raw WIB TP readout, run

daq_application -c stdin://sourcecode/readout/test/tpenabled-fakereadout-commands.json
