The operator menus allow to perform all the operations related to the run,
but not directly interacting with the data taking process: set system parameters,
make configurations, reset system, start test and monitoring tools, and
so on.
Some operations are only enabled before data taking starts.
2)
Run parameters
The most relevant run parameters and variables are displayed in this area.
The Run Number is automatically incremented by the system.
Run Type, Storage device and Torta card can be chosen from the menu buttons.
The other values are obtained by the system processes.
3)

These buttons activate the standard run
control commands, that cause the run state transitions:
Initialize - distribute

Warm Start - distribute INIT then START to the system
Cold Start - distribute START to
the system (only enabled when the system is INITIALIZED)
Pause
- distribute PAUSE to the system (only enabled when the system is
RUNNING)
Resume - distribute
RESUME to the system (only enabled when the system is PAUSED)
End
- distribute END to the system (only enabled when the system is RUNNING)

errors while running. The same information is recorded in the logfiles
/runcond/runlog/runXXXXXTYPE.log
