To run (via Kieran's instructions):
This is the script we will actually run to launch our dummy frames. This file basically declares our virtual server to produce our dummy frames and opens PyDM window to manage them. Run:
python3 scripts/TsTop.pyA GUI window should open. To start launching your dummy frames, select the frame rate you would like from Run Rate and then switch the Run State to Running. In the terminal you launched TsTop.py, you should now see output. These are outputs from the TsDaqDataReceiver process function!
As a good proof of concept, Kieran wanted to try and replicate charge linearization in Rogue and create a GUI to show these values. To run the following code, you need to download and import BitVector. He constructed a PyDM GUI to go along with TsDaqDataReceiver.py called emulator_readout.ui. To run the GUI, in one terminal window run the TsTop.py script that generates our dummy frames to activate our data receiver. Make sure to turn on the frame generator by switching the mode to running. In another terminal, open the GUI using the command:
pydm emulator_readout.uiThis will load the GUI after a few seconds, and if the frame generator is active, you should see it come to life.
