---+ Data Acquisition with EUDAQ

This page gives some details on test beam data acquisition using EUDAQ software.

See [[http://eudaq.github.io][EUDAQ official pages]] for more information and installation instructions. Online documentation is available [[http://eudaq.github.io/manual/EUDAQUserManual.pdf][here]].

---++ Important points for running

---+++ Open ports

Ports must be opened for different parts of the software to communicate. Specifically port 44000 (Run Control)must be open in order to run the software (in addition ports 44001 (Data Collector) and 44002 (Log Collector) may be opened, see §3.1.2 of the manual for more info).

To open ports *on Macs with xterm* (may be similar for Linux) use =ipfw= commands (see =man ipfw= fro more info.):


=>sudo ipfw list= this lists all port commands 


=>sudo ipfw add 44000 allow tcp from any to any dat-port 44000 = this opens port 44000

Port commands will need to be issued at each session.





Running EUdaq (make sure order is correct (kill all running eu programs)):
cd /Users/kwraight/eudaq/bin
./euRun.exe  &
./euLog.exe  &

config files in:
/Users/kwraight/eudaq//conf/
