Package org.jlab.detector.scalers

Class DaqScalers

java.lang.Object
org.jlab.detector.scalers.DaqScalers
public class DaqScalers extends Object
Helper methods to read the RAW::scaler bank, and create RUN::scaler and HEL::scaler from Dsc2Scaler and StruckScaler objects. We have at least two relevant scaler hardware boards, STRUCK and DSC2, both readout on helicity flips and with DAQ-busy gating, both decoded into RAW::scaler. This class reads RAW::scaler and converts to more user-friendly information. STRUCK. Latching on helicity states, zeroed upon readout, with both helicity settle (normally 500 us) and non-settle counts, useful for "instantaneous" livetime, beam charge asymmetry, beam trip studies, ... DSC2. Integrating since beginning of run, useful for beam charge normalization.

  • logbook entry and common-tools/clas-detector/doc The EPICS equation for converting Faraday Cup raw scaler S to beam current I: I [nA] = (S [Hz] - offset ) / slope * attenuation; offset/slope/attenuation are read from CCDB Accounting for the offset in accumulated beam charge requires knowledge of time duration. In some run periods the DSC2 clock is zeroed at run start but at 1 Mhz rolls over every 35 seconds, and the (48 bit) 250 MHz TI timestamp can also rollover within a run since only zeroed upon reboot. Instead we allow run duration to be passed in, e.g. using run start time from RCDB and event unix time from RUN::config. FIXME: Use CCDB for GATEINVERTED and CRATE/SLOT/CHAN

      public static double getSeconds(Date rst, Date uet)
      Get seconds between two dates assuming the differ by not more than 24 hours. The 24 hour requirement is because the java RCDB library currently provides times as java.sql.Time, which only supports HH:MM:SS and not full date. Necessitated because run-integrating DSC2's clock frequency in some run periods was too large and rolls over during run. And that was the only clock that is reset at beginning of the run. Since DAQ runs are never 24 hours, this works.
