dtpctrllibs¶

This package contains DAQ modules for controlling DUNE Trigger Primitive generation firmware.

DTPController¶

This is the module which controls TP firmware. It is a very simple module, with no I/O queues. It responds to several RC commands :

conf : this command will establish the connection to the firmware (ipbus over flx), issue a reset, and then configure it
reset : this command just resets firmware
start : enables TP production
stop : disables TP production

Currently, the only useful configuration data are the input source (internal or external) and the TP threshold.

Channel masks still need to be implemented, as well as control over the firmware topology (ie. numbers of links, pipelines, etc.)

No data is monitored yet.

A quick recipe for running tests.

python -m dtpctrllibs.dtp_app_confgen dtp_app.json
daq_application --name dtp_app -c stdin://dtp_app.json

At the terminal that now appears, run 'init', 'conf', 'start', 'stop' commands in order to produce TPs.
