How to measure data:

Steps for measuring light concentrator

1. Open the Dark Box lid, and move light source to specific angle and distance
2. Close the Dark Box lid, and put shade on it
3. Turn on the test PMT and cali PMT and wait for the voltage to set level
4. Change info in /home/tao/Concentrator/data/config/setting.csv
5. Waiting for xxx minutes to allow the dark noise to settle to a constant level
6. Execute the make sample command to start data acquisition
7. Move data files to Backup disk
8. Start next measurement according step 1-7

Facility setting

• A csv records the setting.
  • runno
  • filenum: estimate sample time duration
  • angle
  • distance

Readout

• The code is under pcie_control/tools, compile and generate the executable build/pcie_control

# Compile using CMake
mkdir -p build && cd build
cmake ..
make

• General configuration: Makefile
  • data output path: datadir the data is stored in the path.
• Sample as the administrator:

# check the sample setting
make mock_sample
# sample
make sample
