Overview
This How-To discusses the necessary steps required in order to take a pedestal run utilizing the single arm DAQ's. Furthermore, the steps required in-order to determine the appropriate FADC thresholds are discussed.
Taking Pedestal Runs
- Ensure that both single arm DAQ's are configured with the "fadcnothr" flag, which is activated via. of the pre-scale GUI, and the configuration has been saved
- With both arms take at least 1000 cosmic or EDTM triggers and note the run numbers
Determining the FADC thresholds
- With the pedestal runs complete, open a terminal and SSH into cdaql1
ssh cdaq@cdaql1
- Setup the hallc-online analyzer
go_analysis
- Descend into the hallc-online hcana/podd directory
cd ../hcana/podd/hana_decode/
- Exectue the tstfadc_main.C script
./tstfadc
- Input the appropriate configurations: raw data file location, run number, number of events, spectrometer name, crate number
