Using e852 software tools with e891 data
E852 has developed a large body of software applications for use with data
collected by the e852 DAQ. Several of these tools have direct application to e891
data, since it is collected with the e852 DAQ; these are described here.
All of these tools take the form of unix commands, accepting options delineated
with the standard unix "-". One of the options common to all is the "-h" option, which
gives help in the form of a brief listing of all the command options recognized by that
command. Generally, once a very casual familiarity with these commands is developed, this
help listing is all that is needed to know how to correctly use the command.
- Dispatcher -- Controlling DAQ from an existing session
-
This explains how to run Dispatcher, which principly transmits data to requesting clients.
- Dispatcher -- Off-line data Processing
-
This explains how to arrange off line data processing.
- feedFromFile -- Feeding data from a file or tape to the Dispatcher
-
This explains how to run feedFromFile, which principly transmits data to requesting clients.
- tapeNo -- Labelling an 8mm tape for writing by DAQ
-
This explains how to run tapeNo, which is used to label each tape before DAQ writes to it.
There are a few minor apparent inconsistancies in some of these commands and there
options, noted here:
