Introduction

Test programs have been created for some of the DAQ VME modules in use in the BNMR/BNQR experiments. The test programs are built alongside the main frontend and logger programs.

Table 4: DAQ Test Software
Module ProgramName Purpose
PulseBlaster PPG vppg_interactive_32bit.exe test program for PulseBlaster PPG
TRIUMF PPG (PPG32) tppg_interactive_32bit.exe test program for TRIUMF PPG32 (not used by bnmr / bnqr yet)
SIS3801 sis3801_interactive_32bit.exe test program for SIS3801 scaler
SIS3820 sis3820_interactive_32bit.exe test program for SIS3820 scaler
PSM psm_interactive_32bit.exe test program for PSM RF module
PSMII psm2_interactive_32bit.exe test program for PSMII RF module
PSMIII psm3_interactive_32bit.exe test program for PSMIII RF module
NIMIO bnmrbeamsim_32bit.exe test program for NIMIO32, inclusing simulating BNMR beam/helicity flipping

All the 32bit programs must be run on the VMIC (not the host computer). The non-32bit programs must be run on the host computer.

PSM

The test program psm3_interactive_32bit.exe tests the PSMIII module.

This is a menu-driven program. It can be run (with caution) at the same time as the DAQ, as it does not automatically do any initialization. The module's registers can be dumped by using the 'Dump Registers' command.

PPG

The test program vppg_interactive_32bit.exe tests the PulseBlaster PPG module.

This is a menu-driven program. It can be run (with caution) for debugging at the same time as the DAQ, as it does not automatically do any initialization. For example, it can be used to check whether the PPG is running.

SIS3820

Note
The sis3820 must be used in non-DMA mode. The DMA mode does not work

The test program sis3820_interactive_32bit.exe tests the SIS3820 scaler.

This is a menu-driven program. It can be run (with caution) for debugging at the same time as the DAQ, as it does not automatically do any initialization. For example, it can be used to read the control/status and operation mode register.

Several test procedures are provided. For example, test1 runs a test using the internal 10MHz clock as the LNE source, then reads out the data from the FIFO.

NIMIO32 / beam simulator

The test program bnmrbeamsim_32bit.exe tests the NIMIO32 and provides a tool for testing when real beam/helicity inputs are not available.

This is a menu-driven program. It can be run (with caution) for debugging at the same time as the DAQ, as it does not automatically do any initialization. For example, it can be used to read the control/status and operation mode register.

The main menu provides a generic interface for the NIMIO32. Use the S command to enter a sub-menu of commands specific to bnmr and bnqr.

BNMR Simulator - used when real signals are not available
Outputs 2,3,4 are used for the simulator.
Make sure output control bits are set so that Outputs 0-3 are regular outputs (see command 'K')
   Make the following connections:
   BEAM is controlled by output 2 (connected to input 0)
   Hel Down              output 3 (connected to input 1)
   Hel Up                output 4 (connected to input 2)
