This page documents an initial pre-shipping test procedure for AMC13 modules.  It is assumed
(for now) that Mr Wu or someone sufficiently qualified has performed an initial programming
and test of the module.

*Initialize TTC system* (only needs to be done once if no one has messed it up)

   1. Press the reset button marked "PROG" on the Xilinx board next to the test stand
   1. Log on to daq@cms1 (password M.....e).  Initialize the Xilinx TTC timing generator
      a. =cd src/TTS_ctrl=
      a. =./periodic_12hz=
      a. =cd ~/ttc=
      a. =DCCdiagnose.exe -x setup_ttc.dcc=

*Prepare the AMC13*

   1. Install SFP:
      a.  TTC in bottom site.  Connect orange TTC fiber
      a.  DAQ in top two sites.  Connect blue jumper fiber
   1. Install AMC13 in MCH2 (top MCH site in middle of crate)
   1. Power up crate.
   1. *Program firmware* versions V=0x10 S=0xb.  More recent versions do not contain a working DAQ link receiver.

*Run tests*

   1. Log on and go to directory with test scripts (currently =~hazen/AMC13DaqTest= but check for updates)
      a. It may be best to just make a copy of this directory somewhere writable and work there:
         i. =cp -r ~hazen/AMC13DaqTest /tmp/myTests=
         i. =cd /tmp/myTests=
   1. Edit =runme.sh= if needed to set serial number correctly
   1. Type =./runme.sh !AMC13DaqTest.exe= with correct serial number (details rapidly changing)
      a.  Execute =do init.amc=.  This initializes the AMC13 and two uHTR boards
      a.  Execute =rc= (reset counters)
      a.  Execute =st= (status) _several times_.  Should look "Sample status display" below.
      a. Check that under "Ctrl 0" it does *not* say "TTC not ready".  This confirms that the TTC input is working
      a. Check that the "AMC Link status" is =04100410=.  This confirms that the uHTR backplane links are working
   1. Type command =rv 4= (read Virtex register 4)
      a. Check that low 4 digits are "0111".  This confirms that the 3 SFP are correctly installed, and that the optical fibers are connected.
   1.  Type =do test_with_daq.amc=.  This runs a test which should initialize the AMC13 and two uHTR and send data through the DAQ fiber.
   1.  Type =rv 0x10 0x10=.  This displays "secret" counters which check the DAQ link (see [[AMC13SecretLDCRegisters]]).  A working link will show a display like "sample LDC registers" below.  Note that offset 0x10 and 0x12 have arbitrary counts, while 0x13 and 0x14 should have the values below.  All other counters should be zero.

*Sample LDC registers*
