Quick start¶

This is intended to give a sketch of how to get the essentials for a shift up and running quickly.

After logging in, open a terminal and give the following commands:

• setup ftbf
• cd /home/nfs/ftbf_user/acnet
• ./launch_acnet_console

Multiple windows should appear. Open the following:

• Synoptic Viewer (D99) - gives overview of beam line info.
• PPD Params (S60) - provides beamline parameters.
• Swics (S39) - wire position setting/profile plotting.
  *(Click between the 1 and the <I> on 9 and 10, then start plot.)

To start a run, open another terminal and type:

• ssh lariat-daq02 -l lariat

Then, just type

• go [# OF SPILLS]

to start the run. Make a record of every new run in the logbook.

Event Viewer:
Open another terminal and type

• ssh -Y lariat@lariat-daq01.fnal.gov
• source ~johnnyho/setup_dqm
• cd ~lariat/dqm
• python tpc_readout.py /lariat/data/users/lariatdqm/dqm/dqm_run_[RUN]_spill_[SPILL].root

to view events. (include leading zeroes; [RUN] should be 6 digits, and [SPILL] should be 4.)
