4. Check that "DC Status" is 0x0

DC status

What to do

0x0

Good status!

x4000

It is OK. Data is being sent and you can leave it. A master IOP gets this error when the timing synchronization is fucked up.

x2000

It is OK. When the master IOP's timing is not synchronized properly, their slave models show this code.

0x2

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

blank

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

(1)

ssh <FE macehine name such as k1pr0>
sudo /etc/init.d/mx_stream restart

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

(2)

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. If it did not work, try to reboot the data concentrator:

ssh k1dc0
sudo reboot

Wait patiently until k1dc0 restarts.
