This is a simple set of shell and perl scripts which capture various registers in the DCC and HTR in USC after a test run. The original scripts were done by many people (Shouxiang, Tullio, Dick, Terry and Arno all helped!)

NOTE: These scripts are meant for use in the USC5 DAQ machines. They will not work on a test stand without modifications!

Release Notes

• 18 Nov 2009 -- Added Phil's updates for DCC2. Will no longer work with DCC1. Also added dcc_dump_analyzer.pl script which will decode a DCC register dump and display values using HAL table names.

Installation

Get a copy from the BU subversion archive. You will need to find the 'GetStatus' directory and save a tarball, or check it out from the command line on i.e. lxplus:

  svn co svn://cms1.bu.edu/Eric/GetStatus

Operation

Run the scripts if possible when there are no L1A (after a run stops)

   ssh cmsusr0 (or 1, 2)
   $ cd GetStatus
   $ ./getAllCrates.sh 

This will create a directory tree under run#####Output. After the scrips complete, you can make an HTML summary as follows:

   $ ./link_errors.pl run#####Output/* > run###atml

The binary files saved are in the DCC "deadbeef" format. Please see the RawAnalysis tools to dump the files.
