Setup CDS software with front-end

  1. change controls UID to 1001, and controls GID to 1001 because all of the CDS files owned by controls account with UID=1001 and GID=1001. see https://awiki.ligo-wa.caltech.edu/aLIGO/CdsUbuntuDesktopBuild 

  2. sudo chown 1001 /frames
sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /frames/*
sudo chown 1001 /opt
sudo chown 1001 /opt/apps
sudo chown 1001 /opt/rtcds
sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /opt/apps/*
sudo chown -R 1001:1001 /opt/rtcds/*
  3. sudo apt-get install tcsh
  4. change default shell to tcsh 
  5. sudo apt-get install g++
  6. Install Matlab with simulink at /opt/apps/linux64/matlab

  7. install NFS client as 

    sudo apt-get install nfs-common

  8. add in /etc/fstab

    standalone:/opt/rtcds   /opt/rtcds      nfs     rw,bg,soft       0       0
standalone:/opt/rtapps  /opt/rtapps     nfs     rw,bg,soft       0       0
standalone:/opt/cdscfg  /opt/cdscfg     nfs     rw,bg,soft       0       0

  9. add in /etc/hosts

    131.215.113.100 standalone
131.215.113.110 desktop1

  10. add /etc/host on standalone(master) 

    131.215.113.100       standalone
131.215.113.110       desktop1
  11. sudo reboot

  12. Add slow channel file name at /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/master 

    /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/chans/daq/X1EDCU.ini

    and add slow channels at /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/chans/daq/X1EDCU.ini

    [default]
dcuid=4
datarate=16
gain=1.0
acquire=1
ifoid=0
datatype=4
units=units
slope=1.0
offset=0


[X1:FEC-24_ADC_WAIT]
[X1:X14-ADC_FILTER_2_INMON]

  13. Change /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/start_daqd

    exec su controls -c 'nice -19 /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/daqd -c /opt/rtcds/tst
/x1/target/fb/daqdrc' > /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/logs/daqd.log.$$ 2>&1

    and /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/start_nds

    exec su controls -c '/opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/nds /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb
/pipe' > /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/logs/nds.log.$$ 2>&1
    to write framedata as controls owned.

  14. To run daqconfig properly 

    sudo emerge tk
  15. Run daqconfig, define DAQ channels and activate them.
  16. modifi /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/daqd
    • change epics server name to "X0:DAQ-FB0_" "X1:DAQ-FB0_"

How to change model from x1x14 to x1x30 for example

  1. On 'desktop1' PC 

    >cd /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/core/advLigoRTS/trunk/src/epics/simLink/
>cp x1x14.mdl x1x30.mdl

  2. build x1x30 

    >cd /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/core/advLigoRTS/trunk
>make uninstall-x1x30
>make x1x30
>make install-x1x30
>make install-daq-x1x30
>make install-screens-x1x30

 1. If you want to change dcuid, start matlab, open the x1x30.mdl, and change dcuid on left top box.

 1. {{{
>sudo emacs /etc/stsysteb

and put the new model name or exchange existing model to the new one.

  1. restart 'standalone' 

    >sudo reboot
  2. change /opt/rtcds/tst/x1/target/fb/master
  3. define and activate daq channels using daqdconfig

How to change IP address
