Architecture

The core digitizer control classes are independent from the UI classes

Core digitizer class/files

• Event.h
• DigiParameters.h
• ClassDigitizer2Gen.h/cpp

The test.cpp is a demo code to use the ClassDigitizer2Gen.h/cpp.

Auxillary classes

• influxdb.h/cpp

UI classes/files

• main.cpp
• mainwindow.h/cpp
• digiSettingsPanel.h/cpp
• CustomWidget.h
• CustomThreads.h
• scope.h/cpp
• SOLARISpanel.h/cpp

Other files

• makeTest
• test.cpp
• script.C
• SolReader.h
• windowID.cpp

Additional function

connect to analysis working directory

When the analysis path is set, it will do servera things

• save the expName.sh
• save Settings
• try to load the Mapping.h in the working directory

End run bash script

When run stop, it will run the bash script under the directory scripts/endRUnScript.h

Required / Development enviroment

Ubuntu 22.04

CAEN_FELIB_v1.2.2 + (install first)

CAEN_DIG2_v1.5.3 +

sudo apt install qt6-base-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libqt6charts6-dev

Digitizer firmware V2745-dpp-pha-2022092903.cup

Developer is using these at 2023-Oct-13

CAEN_FELIB_v1.2.5

CAEN_DIG2_v1.5.10

with these new API, Digitizer firmwares

• V2745-dpp-pha-1G-2023091800.cup
• V2745-dpp-psd-1G-2023091901.cup
• V2740-dpp-pha-1G-2023091800.cup
• V2740-dpp-psd-1G-2023091901.cup

are supported.

Compile

if *.pro does not exist

use qmake6 -project to generate the *.pro

in the *.pro, add

QT += widgets

LIBS += -lcurl -lCAEN_FELib

if *.pro exist

run qmake6 *.pro it will generate Makefile

then make

Using the CAENDig2.h

The CAENDig2.h is not copied to system include path as the CAEN+FELib.h. But we can copy it from the source. In the caen_dig2-vXXXX folder, go to the include folder, copy the CAENDig2.h to /usr/local/include/.

This enable us to compile code with -lCAEN_Dig2. For example, we can use the following to get the CAEN Dig2 Library version.

 char version[16];
 CAENDig2_GetLibVersion(version);
 puts(version);

Known Issues

• The "Trig." Rate in the Scaler does not included the coincident condition. This is related to the ChSavedEventCnt from the firmware.
• LVDSTrgMask cannot acess.
• The CoincidenceLengthT not loaded.
• Sometime, the digitizer halt after sent the /cmd/armacquisition command. This is CAEN library problem.
• Event/Wave trig. Source cannot set as SWTrigger.
• After update to CAEN_FELIB_v1.2.5 and CAEN_DIG2_v1.5.10, old firmware version before 202309XXXX is not supported.
