Module api

Higher level functions, to deal with events/binary reprentation of it, configure the drs4, etc.

Constants

• DATAPORT
  Dataport is 0MQ PUB for publishing waveform/event data

Functions

• enable_poisson_self_trigger
  The poisson self trigger mode of the board triggers automatically, this means we don’t have to send a forced trigger signal every 1/rate.
• experimental_ram_buffer_handler
  Manage the RAM buffers for event data
• get_active_buffer
  Get the active half of the RAM buffer
• get_buff_size
  Get the blob buffer size from occupancy register
• get_runconfig
  Get a runconfig from a file.
• is_systemd_process
  Check for the environmental variable LIFTOF_IS_SYSTEMD which is set in the liftof.service file to determine wether liftof is executed through systemd.
• prefix_board_id
• prefix_board_id_noquery
  add the board id to the bytestream in front of the tof response
• prefix_local
  Add the prefix “LOCAL” to a bytestream.
• ram_buffer_handler
  Manage the RAM buffers for event data
• rb_calibration
  A full set of RB calibration
• rb_noi_subcalibration
• rb_start_run
• rb_stop_run
• rb_timing_subcalibration
• rb_voltage_subcalibration
• reset_dma_and_buffers
  Reset DMA pointer and buffer occupancy registers
• run_check
  Check if the buffers are actually filling
• send_ltb_all_thresholds_reset
• send_ltb_all_thresholds_set
• send_ltb_threshold_set
• setup_drs4
  Prepare the whole readoutboard for data taking.
• wait_while_run_active
  Wait as long as a run is active. This call blocks the current thread until no run is active anymore.
