DC status

What to do

0x0

Good status!

x4000

It is OK. Data is being sent and you can leave it. There is some synchronization error.

x2000

It is OK. Data is being sent and you can leave it. There is some synchronization error.

0x2bad

Bad. The real time model is not sending data to the data concentrator machine, k1dc0. Go to (1)

blank

Bad. Channels are not registered to send to k1dc0. Go to (2)

When DC status is blank

1. First check

make sure the model's channel list is registered in master.

t
cd fb
emacs master

Check if

  1. tpchn_modelname.par
  2. MODELNAME.ini

are written in the file.

2. If master is ok, but still blank, or, if you changed master file

Before doing this, let everyone know that DQ will be killed

ssh k1dc0
ps -ef | grep daqd 

Check the process number of daqd. There may be two or three and pick the first and left number (###).

kill ###

daqd process will automatically start up again, and the DAC status will be cleared.

3. If neither above did not work

Reboot the data concentrator:

ssh k1dc0
sudo reboot

Wait patiently until k1dc0 restarts.

4. Rebooting did not work

Call Osamu or Keiko.
