Build and test your readout program

To build the new readout program type:

make

Test the program by running it directly. Note that the production readout program uses a Tcl/Tk based command interpreter that supports most of the same commands as the "traditional" readout system (show all is not supported). Note that the production readout framework recognizes the following command switches:

Production Command line switches
Short Form Long Form Meaning
-h -help Outputs a brief help message
-V -version Outputs the framework version number
-p<portnum> -port=<portnum> Enables tcl server functionality on port <portnum>
-w -window Runs Tk interpreter (enabling readout to have GUI).
-c -camac-trigger Use CAMAC trigger (default is via CAEN V262).

Note that when you run Readout from the Readout GUI front end, you will need to write a startup script in order to use any of these switches.
