  4. L1Cal IIb Control Software • Split • Control Code vs. GUI • Operating System Independent • Windows -> Linux • Python (GUI) & C++ (Control) • Use D0 products ITC and Thread_Util also ACE (under ITC) and Xerces (for XML)

  5. L1Cal IIb Control Software • L1Cal_IIb_TCC Control Program • Use C++ for robustness and execution speed • Control and monitor both ADF and TAB/GAB • Only software actually performing VME IOs • Interface presenting one L1CAL system to COOR • Serve L1CAL Monitoring Info to Host Monit Clients • Leveraged current L1FW+L1CAL TCC code • Allow local command files (python scripts from GUI) • Keeps a Logfile of all actions

  6. L1Cal IIb Control Software • L1Cal_IIb_Gui • New for run IIb • Use Python with Tkinter • Zero, One, or more GUI connected at a given time • Not in the path of data taking, COOR control, etc • Not in the path of monitoring operation • Run GUI on L1Cal TCC and/or remote computer • GUI plus extensions with external python command files (arbitrary complex, e.g. ADF-2 production test)

  7. L1Cal IIb Control Software • Extensions with Python Command Files • Call functions to perform any action the GUI supports: R/W, Config FPGA, program DAC,... • Receive reply from Control Program (e.g. value read) • Recursive call to lower level command files while passing parameters (e.g. card address) • MSU Test Stand: Control Waveform Generator and Multiplexer • Allow interactive user input (e.g. enter card S/N) • Write test logfiles, or any other files e.g. plot files • Execute OS commands, e.g. view plots

  8. Control of TAB/GAB Hardware/Software For Commissioning/Tests • Current and future Nevis Test programs can be used for tests or diagnostics (only) For Physics Running • Call the same C code used by Test programs to configure, initialize, program the TAB/GAB under COOR control • Work under way…

  9. Interface to COOR • Need to define the syntax to program run dependent resources (references, parameters, thresholds, etc) • Most/All such resources are in TAB/GAB • Philippe can work with Mike (or?) to produce a document defining the outside view of the system to COOR/Scott

  10. Interface to COOR • Ref. current L1Cal System: http://www.pa.msu.edu/hep/d0/ftp/tcc/coor/coor_to_tcc_l1ct_message_syntax.txt • E.g. How COOR sets a reference set “L1CT_Ref_Set EM_Et_Ref_Set 0 TT_Eta(-20:20) TT_Phi(1:32) Value 10.0”

  11. Monitoring • Trigger Towers (ADF-2) • Output to TAB • L1Cal objects (TAB/GAB) • What is useful, desirable, doable? • Base idea: read event data every ~5 s • Oversampled data (ADF-2) • ADF-2 raw oversampled data For special studies and calibration/verification

  12. Appendix: Example L1Cal GUI dialogs
