The project contains data acquisition code for the muon g-2 lab at UW. It is adapted from the slac-daq used last summer.

The fast folder contains the code for the program that pull data from several waveform digitizers and analog-to-digital converters in a synchronous way.

Current Hardware

Compiling generates 3 binaries: fe_master which runs runs the workers and event builder and start_daq/stop_daq for manual tests.

Adding frontends

It's pretty tedious right now, but here it is.

1. Define data structure in common.hh
2. constants
3. struct
4. Add to worker_ptr_types
5. Add to worker_list class
6. This is a pain
7. Should be redesigned if possible
8. Add src/.cxx and include/.hh
9. Add to fe_master worker allocations
10. Add include to worker_list.hh

A python web app developed using the Flask microframework, a.k.a., the Daqometer.

Monitors for temperature and voltage. Additionally any slower asynchronous can be poured into this channel.

1. The log files go to /var/log/lab-daq/ as fast-daq.log, daqometer.log, fast-frontend.log
2. The config directory should be symlinked to /usr/local/opt/lab-daq/config
