How to start the program processes:

 
1- On pcstcon ensure that the HV internet server HV Server  is running.

2- Login on node fndppc1 (just next to pcstcon)
    username: frc
    password: just do it you know what

3- Start daq_fnd process on fndstb (telnet to fndstb with user name: stb and no password) and fndtof (user name: tof). Yes, you need two seperate windows on fndppc1 for this.  If the system returns the message "Error: can't bind socket" it means that another daq_fnd session is running.  This can be easily verified with the command "ps".

4- Start process Frc on fndppc1. Of course you need a third window for this too, and you should get something like this:
 
 

5- Start "automatic runs" from run control window. The window with autorun parameters appears. click "ok"

Edit the file autorun.list on fndppc1 and here change the HV points voltage, current limits, ramps etc

Each reading is for a TDC window of 32 micro seconds. To change the number of readings

1- edit the autorun.lis on fndppc1 and change it. Typically 200000
2- telnet to fndstb
    user name: daq
    password: just do it this time you should know it

    cd to FND/daq
    edi read_plat.c or vi read_plat.c
    chang the MAXPLAT value like 200000

3-  make    (this will compile it)
4- cd ..      (get yourself to /FND)
5- make     (this should link it)
    and that is it.
