Data Collectors
back


The tower data collector (TDC) is in crate 91. The data from the fee crates is buffered here and then sent on to STAR-DAQ or read out by mini-DAQ. If crate 91 is power cycled the TDC needs to be reconfigured. (It takes ~5 minutes to reboot so be patient before trying to reload the tdc. "no route to hist" message indicates the processor is not ready. If this persists beyond 5 minutes you can reboot the processor with the "sys reset" button on the power supply GUI for crate 91.) Reconfiguring the tdc is done from eemc-sc in the online account. From the mini subdirectory (and you must have logged into the mini subdirectory at initial login or env variables are not set correctly. So if the below doesn't seem to work log in again and answer mini to the default directory.) type

cd tdc

then execute dtdc by typing

dtdc (+ carriage return) at the prompt.

There is some concern that the clocks will not synchronize properly so dtdc can be repeated if the first try is unsuccessful.
