RFSoC/FPGA Operation

FPGA monitoring and status logging by Shih-Hao: DAQ Log and Trigger Summary

This is useful for on-site troubleshooting.

For Fushan operation:

connect laptop to the site6 wifi (SSID = BURSTT)
- you will get a local IP 192.168.241.xxx
- all machines in Fushan also have similar local IP
use VNC viewer and connect to desktop :25 of burstt9 (192.168.241.155)
- vncviewer 192.168.241.155:25
- desktop :25 is reserved for site testing
[optional] in case the VNC desktop is not running:
- ssh [email protected]
- vncserver :25 -rfbauth .vnc/passwd_25 -geometry 1680x1050
- then connect with VNC viewer
[optional] remote troubleshooting
- frblab3 in 10F lab can connect to burstt9 through the BURSTT VPN
- for example, from cyyu's console:
  - ssh frblab3
- from frblab3:
  - vncviewer 10.24.121.105:25
  - this is the remote address of burstt9

In the VNC desktop (:25), do the following:

click 'activities' on the top-left corner
(right-)click 'terminal' on the left bar to start a new terminal
type 'rfsoc' (enter) to start the (rfsoc) environment
to plot spectrum of all FPGAs in Fushan:
- ./zcu216_accum_spec_16inp.py FUS -q -d
- this will plot capture and plot full spectrum (0-800MHz) for all FPGAs in Fushan (FUS). The '-q' option means the plot will not pop up right away (quietly). The '-d' option means to display all spectra generated in this command.
- replace 'FUS' by one or multiple IPs of the FPGAs to plot selected FPGAs instead of all. The '-q' and '-d' can still apply.
