Hardware Configuration

  • HMS scalers are a VME crate. The cpu is hcvme05.
  • SHMS scalers are a VME crate. The cpu is hcvme08.

Scaler Software

Scaler Server


  • To directly read the scalers
    • login is as cdaq on cdaql1
    • cd daq16/crl/RPC
    • execute: ./getscalers hcvme05 for HMS
    • execute: ./getscalers hcvme08 for SHMS
    • There is an option to clear the scalers, put please do not do this in the middle of the run!


==+ Read scalers using GUI (xscaler) ==+

    • Login as cdaq to cdaql1
    • cd daq16/hallc_xscaler
      • To see HMS scalers type: ./xscaler HMS
      • To see SHMS scalers type: ./xscaler SHMS
    • In the directory, the file, scaler.map, is used to map the names to the scaler crate,slot and chan.
