trloctrl

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

With around 500 setup register of 60 kinds and 200 signals of almost as many variations, efficient handling can be a daunting task. The libtrlo_ctrl and trlo_ctrl companion library and command-line interface program for control, monitoring and read-out help with this. Complex configurations can be loaded from setup files, while one-off commands for testing can be quickly issued from a shell.

Command-line arguments are executed in order as they are parsed.

OPTIONS

--addr=A

Select the VME address A of the module to handle. The address is given in hexadecimal. With A given as 'dummy', a plain memory space in RAM is used instead, for dry-running.

--help

Display a short help text and exit.

--clear-setup

Set all setup registers to 0 (WIRED_ZERO for multiplexer destinations).

--print-config[=DEBUG]

Print the configuration, i.e. all setup registers. Registers with default value (0, or WIRED_ZERO for multiplexer destinations) are not shown.

--trig-status[=INTERVAL]

Print the status of the trigger system: scalers of the fast_path coincidence builder and deadtime veto, and the trigger state machine. Print once, or every INTERVAL seconds.

--mux-src-scalers[=NAME,ptn,n|reset]

Dump/reset all MUX source scalers, or per requested NAMEs. Show currently active pattern         Every n s (default 1). Or reset.

--config=FILE

Load command file (to memory only, i.e. nothing is executed yet and affecting the module).

--call=COMMAND

Execute COMMAND from loaded configuration.

--cmd="EXPR"

Execute EXPR as an command.

--show[=TYPE,...]

[=setup,dest,src] List all available setup registers, multiplexer destinations and sources. The list can be limited by TYPE as 'setup', 'dest' and 'src'.

--tracer

Soft-scope for TRIG LMU inputs.

--sampler=ecl-in-N|ecl-io-in-N|lemo-in-N

Multi-hit timer-latch (stop with Ctrl+C).

--rec-mlatch=A,B,[diff]

Multi-hit timer-latch #A,#B,... record to stdout.

--debug[=N]

Debugging of tracer and sampler.

--addrtest

Run VME test to special segment in TRLO II; address readback.

--ramtest

Run VME test to special segment in TRLO II; RAM block write/read.

--rawread:ADDROFF

Read from VULOM at given VME offset. HEXadecimal address given with prefix 0x.

--rawwrite:ADDROFF=VALUE

Write to VULOM at given VME offset. HEXadecimal address and value given with prefix 0x.

EXIT STATUS

EXAMPLES

Set the TRLO II to generate triggers and respect the TRIMI deadtime:

trloctrl --addr=2 --clear-setup \

  "period(1)=10us" "TRIG_PENDING[1]=PULSER(1)" \

  "DEADTIME_IN(1)=TRIMI_TDT"

To monitor the counts of all multiplexer sources once per second:

trloctrl --mux-src-scalers
