NARA 5SDH-2
NARA 5SDH-2
It uses a shared memory partition which is loaded with configuration data and histogramming arrays used to define how to process the data received by the program from the list processor camac module.
load_lp_configuration_v2(8) is used to create and populate the shared memory partition.
After listp_v2 is started LISTPsetup_v2(8) is used to load the list processor program information and other data needed by listp_v2.
HISTmngr_v2(1) is used to display the data in the arrays.
See HISTmngr_v2(1) for more of an explanation of the data collection process.
This program runs as a daemon unless overridden with the --no_daemon argument. Usually it should not be started in the background.
This program is part of the NEC AMS system.
Argument processing is done using Unix long argument syntax.
The values of all of the parameters listed here (whether or not they were supplied on the command line) are printed on stderr when the program starts.
If this argument is not supplied the default is "localhost".
If this argument is not supplied the default is "localhost".
If this argument is not supplied the default is "localhost".
If this argument is not supplied the default is "CAMAC".
If this is not supplied it defaults to 1.
The possible values are: 128K, 256K, 512K, 1M
The default value is: 256K
Device types marked optional are not required.
If the optional device keys are not used the value which is interfaced to the database through the device type is still calculated and displayed by HISTmngr(1) . However, it isn’t available for display or logging via dbman(8) and the AccelNET database.
The DATA.Crate and DATA.Slot values from the DataRec are used as the crate and slot values when building the I/O lists.
DATA.DTkey should be set to U.

This number is given in counts per cycle. It is computed by dividing the result of the count assigned to this parameter by the number of cycles in the batch.

It is usually computed by dividing the number of list processor events gathered in one update by the number of events counted by the counter.
This is programmable behavior which may be set by a directive in the pconv file. See pconv(5) for more information.

It is usually computed by dividing H1341_st by H1341_ht.

Bit0 is set if the list processor has a buffer overflow when a CycBatch was uploaded. The bit is cleared when the next CycBatch is uploaded.
Bit1 is set if the list processor has bad status, for example if the crate is off line or doesn’t have power.
DATA.DTkey should be set to U.

User inputs are used with hist_engine to pass values into the HIST system for processing by a TCL script.
When an update message arrives from dbman a TCL function may be called to process the change.

DATA.ChanNo has a valid range of 0-7 and is used to designate the user input.
User outputs are used with hist_engine to pass values from the HIST system to the AccelNET database.
The user outputs are manipulated by a TCL script and are updated in the AccelNET database after every CycBatch.

The following files must be located in the directory specified by LISTPsetup_v2(8) .
The commands contained in this file are executed before beginning a data collection run and after data collection for each block is completed.
The commands executed should read the counter and zero it because listp_v2 will add the current counter value to the beginning cycle number when processing the batch.
The commands contained in this file are executed before beginning a data collection run and after data collection for each block is completed.
The list processor module needs to have jumpers installed in it to configure it for operation.
JP-1 - JP23 - one jumper should be installed. The installed jumper corresponds to the CAMAC slot number where the ADC module is installed.
JP-24 - not installed
JP-25 - not installed
JP-26 - installed
Installing a jumper on JP-26 prevents data memory writes from "wrapping around" to the beginning of memory in cases of list processor memory overflow.
If the jumper is not installed everything will still work properly, however when running at high data rates there will be data corruption if the data memory overflows.
JP-27 - installed
JP-28 - not installed
JP-29 - not installed
These are the standard factory settings. They probably don’t make any difference in this case.
JP-30 - doesn’t exist
JP-31 - factory set, don’t change (manual claims this exists but I can’t find
it)
JP-32 - factory set, don’t change
JP-33 - factory set, don’t change
JP-34 - factory set, don’t change
JP-30 - JP-34 deal with the data memory size. They depend on which memory ICs are installed in the board and are set by the factory. Don’t change them unless you know what you are doing.
The shared memory partition used for data processing needs to be created and initialized before starting this program.
The list processor configuration and the shared memory partition configuration should only be changed when data collection is NOT in progress else a program crash will probably result.
load_lp_config(8) is used to load the shared memory configuration. The first time this program is used it creates the shared memory partition.
This program responds to diagnostic logging using DIAG_1.
The program queries the list processor using the test booking instruction (F27A0) and will automatically reload the list processor’s program when it detects that this is necessary. Each time the list processor’s status changes a message is written to stderr.
When the status is bad or another error occurs all DATA records managed by the program have their statuses changed to bad, i.e. all of the displayed parameters change to purple.
