Starting Parity DAQ CODA
Starting the GUI
- Log in as apar@adaq1
- In a terminal type startcoda
- 4 xterms will appear as well as the main CODA window (see Figure 1)
- CODA will automatically load the last configuration used. If you are ok with this then just go to Platform->Connect
- To change the configuration, choose Configurations->Cool
- Select the desired configuration from the dropdown list (see Figure 2)
- Production running would be PREX
- Once you have loaded a configuration, some of the icons (see descriptions below) will change from grey to green
Starting a run
- After starting the GUI and loading a configuration (see above)
- Prestart (third icon from the top left)
- In the previous steps, warnings about waiting for a roc can be ignored if it does not take too long to respond (~10s). Do watch for Error messages. Those cannot be ignored!
