Obtaining the Readout Skeleton

You should work on the readout program in a separate directory. This not only helps you to organize your work but also prevents interference between files needed for the readout system and files needed for other data acquisition system components. We provide a readout skeleton to help you organize the development of your readout code.

To obtain a copy of the readout skeleton type the following:

mkdir -p ~/experiment/readout
cd ~/experiment/readout
cp /usr/opt/daq/pReadoutSkeleton/* .

This creates a new directory  /experiment/readout and copies the readout skeleton files. When you are done, this directory will contain the following files:

Readout Skeleton file inventory

File Contents
Skeleton.cpp Program skeketon for user readout code
Makefile Starting point for Readout's makefile
CTraditionalReadoutSegment.cpp Bridge to old style readout program code
CTraditionalcalerReadout.cpp Bridge to old style scaler readout code.
