How to run plateau

How to start the program processes:

 
1- On pcstcon ensure that the HV internet server HV Server  is running.

2- Login on node fndppc1 (just next to pcstcon)
    username: frc
    password: just do it you know what

3- Start daq_fnd process on fndstb (telnet to fndstb with user name: stb and no password) and fndtof (user name: tof). Yes, you need two seperate windows on fndppc1 for this.  If the system returns the message "Error: can't bind socket" it means that another daq_fnd session is running.  This can be easily verified with the command "ps".

4- Start process Frc on fndppc1. Of course you need a third window for this too, and you should get something like this:
 
 








5- Start "automatic runs" from run control window. The window with autorun parameters appears. click "ok"

How to change plateau Hv points and other HV parameters:
Edit the file autorun.list on fndppc1 and here change the HV points voltage, current limits, ramps etc
How to change the number of readings for each point:
Each reading is for a TDC window of 32 micro seconds. To change the number of readings

1- edit the autorun.lis on fndppc1 and change it. Typically 200000
2- telnet to fndstb
    user name: daq
    password: just do it this time you should know it

    cd to FND/daq
    edi read_plat.c or vi read_plat.c
    chang the MAXPLAT value like 200000

3-  make    (this will compile it)
4- cd ..      (get yourself to /FND)
5- make     (this should link it)
    and that is it.
