Oratio longa, vita brevis

Programs that need to be written:

  1. Utility for producing the profile for a single DCOPS, for use with laser adjustment. This may not seem like a high priority, but it is. Aside from its utility, it is a first model for the new main readout. DONE and tested at ISR
  2. New main readout, which
    • Uses a single C++ program DONE
    • Communicates PVSS-style with the rest of the readout using DIM--DONE
    • Incorporates a timeout check on reading from a port DONE
    • Does some simple port testing when problems show up DONE in PVSS
    • Reads out SLMs at different stations (but not Transfer Lines) in parallel DONE
  3. Module to read out an "event" from the database given a start time, and write out root trees corresponding to
    • The complete event, with raw information available
    • The COCOA event, with calibration info but no raw info DONE
    • The Profiles DONE
  4. A monitoring program for the shift crew. Or at any rate for me, so I can tell them what's going on. DONE
  5. A routine to say whether or not a laser was turned on given the output from the reference DCOPS in front of it.
