artdaq-demo¶
Prologue: if you just want to see something run, and you're on a system which is artdaq-ready, execute these commands:
wget https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/artdaq-demo/repository/revisions/develop/raw/tools/quick-mrb-start.sh chmod +x quick-mrb-start.sh ./quick-mrb-start.sh --run-demo --tag=v2_10_02
...to execute the downloading, building, and the running of the demo; the total space taken will be about 6 GB. Installation on Fermilab hosts takes about 5 minutes, though on other systems this may take longer depending on connection speed. A few windows will pop up to show sample monitoring of the fake data produced during the demo; you can just close them manually when the demo's done.
This project demonstrates how the toolkit comprised of the artdaq and artdaq-core packages can be used to build the DAQ software for an experiment by providing a simple example system.
