CalibGui is the software used to perform tunes, run scans and test devices.
Before running a scan
Once GUI is open…
- In "Scan" tab
- Set directory to save root files by clicking "Browse" button adjacent to "Data Dir" in "Global Module Configuration area", e.g. /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/atlas/upgrade01/rce-tests/
- Select Scan Type of scan from drop down list in "Scan Config" area
- If required choose a Prim list by "Load Primlist" button in Prim List area
- NB prim lists have priority over any selected scan. Also, prim lists must be cleared before loading a new list or running single scan.
- In "Config Halfstave" tab (4 provided, choose whichever is appropriate)
- Choose a "Frontend: are and set parameters for communication with chip
- Select config file from "Choose Config", and browse to file, e.g. /afs/phas.gla.ac.uk/data/atlas/upgrade01/rce-tests/KateRCE/THRESHOLDX/config
- NB check references to masked directories in config file are to correct place (i.e. current directories)
- for valid config rations the "Valid" check will be ticked
- Set inlink/outlink to valid parameters, and correct RCE (see map ADD LINK LATER)
- make sure the "Included" check is ticked, else the communication will not be attempted
- In "Plots" tab
