Procedure to launch a simple trigger match acquisition with triggers from cosmic rays.

  1. From the GUFI folder, launch "py cong_GUI.py"
  2. Select, clicking on the icon, the GEMROC to acquire
  3. Turn on the FEBs with the button
  4. If you are not sure that the PMT are in off state, open the run controller and click on "PMT-OFF"
  5. Click on "enable double threshold) if you want to use this feature
  6. Click "fast configuration" , this will:
    • Set all the channels in trigger mode 0 (ready to acquire)
    • Set the threshold on the T-branch at 3 sigmas and on the E-branch at 2 sigmas (there is no difference if you are using both of them or not).
    • Disable the channel which are too noisy
    • Set the channel 20 in all the TIGERs to receive digital test pulses
    • Set the GEMROCs for the trigger-matched acquisition and put the in pause waiting for the first trigger
  7. Open the run controller window
  8. Turn on the PMT, wait some seconds and start the acquisition (if some GEMROCs go time-out, maybe you didn't wait enough)

The acquisition will run for the set time (if you set triggerless mode, it will be in second, otherwise in minutes, can be less than one)

If you set the "restart" thick, the acquisition will restart if one ore more GEMROC goes timeout of when the time finish.
