FAQ and common problems and solutions

  • If you want help installing CODA and the relevant environment software on a local machine, contact Brian Moffitt.
    • The CODA (2.6.2 - relevant to Prex DAQ) software is documented and has an installation guide on the CODA Website.

Goals for PrexII running

  • Work on the Parity DAQ to bring the Trigger Supervisor (TS) into its proper overseer role
    • ✓ This requires shifting from COMPTON to ADAQ3 computer and verifying all connections and .crl files behave as expected (completed in 5-23-2018 meeting)
    • ✓ Fix Trigger Supervisor DAQ to communicate correctly with Injector DAQ from ADAQ3 computer
    • ✓ Fix Counting Room DAQ and add to TS (should be easy)
    • Fix RHRS DAQ and add to TS
    • Fix LHRS DAQ and add to TS (should be harder)
  • We want an automated system that will vastly simplify the life of WACs (Fall 2018)
    • It should read information from CODA, EPICS, and shift operator schedules as runs start and stop
    • It should make standard analysis plots
    • And it should display these diagnostic and physics results on a collaboration viewable webpage
    • This will likely involve mimicking the existing ELOG automated systems
  • We should rewrite the existing PAN (Parity ANalyzer) into JAPAN (Just Another Parity ANalyzer)
    • This is partly to update the codebase to incorporate the QWeak analysis updates
    • And also to build expertise and familiarity in the current collaboration
    • JAPAN is currently in development at www.github.com/JeffersonLab/Japan (private)
