I completed the translation of the .db files for the EPICS database records from the VME notation to the Acromag/Modbus/Asyn notation. The channels are now organized into 5 database files, located in /cvs/cds/caltech/target/c1iscaux3/, for convenience:
- C1_ISC-AUX_LSCPDs.db -------- This handles whitening gain, AA enable/bypass, Demodulator FE, and PD Interface Board channels for REFL11, REFL55, REFL33, REFL165, POP22, POP110, POX11, POY11, AS55 and AS110 photodiodes.
- C1_ISC-AUX_CM.db -------------- This handles all channels for the CM board. The mbbo addressing notation needs to be checked.
- C1_ISC-AUX_QPDs.db ----------- This handles all channels for the IPPOS QPD.
- C1_ISC-AUX_ALS.db ------------- This handles all channels for the IR ALS DFD LO and RF power monitoring.
- C1_ISC-AUX_SPARE.db ---------- This handles the unused channels for the various whitening, AA and PD interface boards.
For reasons unknown to me, the database files in the other Acromag system target directories (e.g. c1susaux, c1auxex) all had 755 level access permission - maybe this is required for systemctl to handle the EPICS serving? Anyways, I upgraded the permission level of the above 5 files using chmod.
There are almost certainly typos / other errors, and I may have missed copying over some soft/calibrated channels, but I hope that this way of grouping by subsystem will make the debugging less painful. Once Chub connects up the power lines to the Acromags, I will run the soft tests. For this purpose, I've also made a C1_ISC-AUX.cmd file and a C1_ISC-AUX.env file in the above target directory, and also made the modbusIOC.service file in /etc/systemd/system on the supermicro. |
