Expert Modes

Under:

After successful installation, all executables are located in the OnlinePlots/bin directory. The following expert-only options exist:

evpServer

The evpServer can be started with the following command line options:

-nogui no graphical user interface will be opened
-disabled if GUI is present, user interaction is disabled
-live immediately switch to live mode after start-up
-start start requesting data immediately after start-up
-end launch end-of-run-action, when end of run is detected (prints all active panels into a pdf file and saves to data base)
-path <pathname> switch off live mode and read data from <pathname>
-map <mapfilename> do not write to default memory mapped file, write to <mapfilename>
-nocheck do not check for other running instances of evpServer
-nevents <number> process only <number> events for each run
-quit quit at the end of the run
-h print list off command line options

QEvpClient

When the QEvpClient is started without any command line arguments, the live mode will read from the default memory mapped file.
Started with a pathname as a command line argument, e.g. QEvpClient test.map, will overwrite the default memory mapped file name.

Example: If you are developing code and want to run the evpServer and QEvpClient without interfering with the experiment monitoring, you would start the server and client like this:

  • evpServer -map test.map -path -start
  • QEvpClient test.map
