ITS QC quick start

Run QC via FLP suite (decicated to FW development)

1. cd workdir
2. Configuration
   • Change the raw data path to the raw file you need to replay in the readout.exe cfg.
   • Change the data sampling rate in qc jsons for Fhr and Fee tasks. The default value is 1, namely all payloads will be sent to QC.
   • Set the software version in the script.
3. Run the qc script followed by a QC task name (e.g. Fhr or Fee):
   ./run_QC_task.sh Fee
   Fhr: Fake-hit rate
   Fee: Front-end electronics
   The qc logfiles can be found under workdir/log/.
   To restart a new run (replaying a new file), simply rerun above the command. If one wants to kill all qc related processes, please run:
   kill_qc.sh
   A tmux session named qc-its will be created with 4 windows
   • window 0: general
   • window 1: qc task
   • window 2: StfBuilder
   • window 3: readout.exe
