Fake Data Readout

This recipe tells you how to generate fake events in the AMC13 and read them out over IPBus. Required equipment:

• AMC13XG module installed in upper "MCH2" site in center of crate
• SFP transceiver installed in TTC (bottom) site in AMC13XG
• Loop-back optical fiber connected between Tx and Rx of TTC SFP

Here's the recipe:

[hazen@cms4 scripts]$ AMC13Tool2.exe -c connectionSN86.xml
Address table path "/home/hazen/work/amc13/amc13/etc/amc13" set from AMC13_ADDRESS_TABLE_PATH
Using AMC13 software ver:32678
>en 1-4 f t
parsed list "1-4" as mask 0xf
Enabling fake data
Enabling TTS as TTC for loop-back
AMC13 out of run mode
AMC13 is back in run mode and ready
>localL1A o 1 1
Configure LocalL1A enabled mode=0 burst=1 rate=1 rules=0
>lt 5
detected number after 'lt'
