How
to run the PC test at B905 or SX5
The
PC tests are conducted by running a server process on a local DAQPC and a WEB
Browser page on any PC.
NOTE:
Before running on any hardware, make sure that no one else is using
it. How??(link to directions here)
Start
the Testing Server on the testing host
Testing
can be run at B904 on B904 hardware with the host machine >>> emulab01
Testing
can be run at SX5 on the I&C Test Host Machine and PC test hardware
>>> emucom01
Testing
can be run at SX5 on the MTCC hardware using host machine >>> emuslice01
For running on MTCC hardware be VERY sure you are not
disturbing other running and leave the system in the state you found it in.
Log onto one of the local DAQPC as user ‘emucomm’
At
B904 this machine is: emulab02
Test
Stand PC at SX5 this machine is: emucom01
Slice
Test PCrates this machine is: xxxxxxx
Open
a terminal window and enter
Rm server.log to
delete old log file
./server.sh
>& server.log at
the prompt to start the server with log file
Open
a second terminal window and enter
Tail
–f server.log to
see the output to the log file in real time
Start
the Hyper-DAQ Web Browser
Open
the PCMB interface
This
process is the tester’s interface to the Peripheral Crate Monitor Board,
PCMB. Note that the window updates
at intervals of several seconds so you may want to hit the ‘Get Data’ button to
check on the results of any ON/OFF changes.
On the host machine start the server (if it is
not already running)
/home/dcs/bin/dcscontrol_hyperdaq
b) open web browser on
any machine
http://emuslice03:1973/urn:xdaq-application:lid=3
then
click: DcsControlWebXdaq
Open
the Electronics
Board Log
This
spread sheet is used to log all ‘touches’ of the electronics hardware. Log the insertion of each board here as
it is installed and record the final results of the test. This is an Excel WS in Windows. Also the manual re-logging here of
insertions and testing is necessary until processes to automatically capture
this from the testing are in place.
