Coda

CODA is JLAB data aquisition system software. CLAS version of CODA has some differences and described in current section.

dac directory

Core CODA packages.

proc_thread

Original CODA's second readout list is running as a thread, called 'proc_thread'. It can be run on main host or on pmc co-processor. Main files is 'main/cinclude/roc_process.c'. Main function started as a thread is

void proc_thread(BIGPROC *bigprocptrin, unsigned int offsetin)

where BIGPROC structure contains control parameters including pointers to the input (BIGBUF *gbigBuffer) and output (BIGBUF *gbigBuffer1) big buffers.

write_thread

Last component in coda_roc running as a thread. Main file is 'dac.s/roc_network.c'. Main function started as a thread is

write_thread(BIGNET *bignetptrin, unsigned int offsetin)

where BIGNET structure contains control parameters including pointers to the input (BIGBUF *gbigBuffer) big buffer;

rc directory (run control)

Uses MOTIF as graphics and ACE3.1 as communication package, all sources are available in subdirectories /cg, /motif and /sase3.1. Run control code resides in subdirectory /runControl.

Variables/ contains some generic stuff, for example daqData contains operators overloading etc.

Common/ - set of classes use by other components:

codaIntHash -- codaSList
codaStrHash ------/
rcMsg
rcSvcInfoFinder
rcSvcLocaterRep
   | (friend)
rcServerLocater

/rcClient contains run control client library functions in /src.s and client program example in /main. Library has following structure:

rcClient <- rccDaqData <- codaRcCallback

/rcServer contains run control server library in subdirectories /Components.s, /Constants.s, /Network.s, /Transitioners.s and /src.s, and main program in /main. Most important classes are in /Components.s.

Adding config file handling to the runcontrol

• in rcServer/Components.s create files rcsConfFileNameWriter.cc and rcsConfFileNameWriter.h; containing constructor, destructor and method 'write(daqData* data)'

• in rcServer/Components.s/dbaseReader.cc add following method:

dbaseReader::putConfFileName (char* name) - update 'confFile' in database '<>_option' table

• in rcServer/Components.s/daqRun.cc add following to method daqRun::createAllVariables() called from constructor:

confFile_ = new rcsDaqData (exptname_, "confFile", "unknown");
confFile_->connect (dataManager_);
confFile_->enableWrite ();
//confFile_->disableWrite ();

confnameWriter_ = new rcsConfFileNameWriter (this);
confFile_->writer (confnameWriter_);

• in rcServer/Components.s/daqRun.cc add following to method daqRun::resetAllVariables() called from loadDatabase:

*confFile_ = "unknown";
if (conffileName_) delete []conffileName_;
conffileName_ = 0;

• in rcServer/Components.s/daqRun.cc create following methods:

daqRun::confFile (char *file) - 
daqRun::writeConfFileNameToDbase (char* file)
daqRun::setConfFileName (char* name)
