Slice Testboard GUI Development Test Setup Documentation
2020-07-08

Description: Setup to help develop slice testboard GUI code using analog testboard

Components: 
-”Windows PC” + monitor
- APC remote controlled power: atlas-central-lab-power-strip = 10.44.1.36
-Keysight 81134A clock generator
-Rohde & Schwarz  HMP4040 power supply
-Keithley 3390 waveform generator, AWG
-analog testboard v1.1 E149372
-network switch: Netgear 10/100Mbps
-JTAG programmer
-fan

Firmware version:
-currently using July 6, 2020 firmware version
-programmed configuration flash using active serial programming, pof file

GUI software repository:
-using: https://gitlab.cern.ch/coluta/COLUTA65/-/tree/sliceboard-v1

General Device power configuration
-APC connected to wall outlet
-PC + all bench devices connected to APC
-fan is connected to its own outlet to ensure it’s always on

APC configuration
-ip address = 10.44.1.36
-Outlet 1: PC
-Outlet 2: Monitor
-Outlet 3: Clock generator
-Outlet 4: Power supply
-Outlet 5: AWG

Clock generator configuration
-using 10 MHz reference output from AWG to clock input
-using channel 1 output, freq = 640MHz, 

Power Supply Configuration
-ip address = 10.44.1.38, port 5025
-SCPI ID: ROHDE&SCHWARZ,HMP4040,105631,HW50020003/SW2.62
-supply is set to LAN remote control interface
-Ch 1 enabled, all others off
-Ch 1 voltage = 3.8 V, 5A limit

AWG configuration
-nothing, just providing 10MHz reference to clock generator

Analog testboard configuration:
-setup instructions here:
https://gitlab.cern.ch/coluta/COLUTA65/-/blob/testboard-v1.1/Readme/Setup.md
-only 3.6V power connected to power supply, 5V and -7V are not connected
-optical cable + transceivers are in place
-FPGA programmer is attached to the flash memory programming connector

PC remote control interface
-using teamviewer running on windows PC to run board
-to start board environment, click on “testboard_env” desktop icon

APC remote control interface
-may need to power-cycle windows PC if it hangs
-on Nevis local network, use browser to go to: http://10.44.1.36
-enter user name, password
-use browser interface to turn off APC outlet #1 ONLY
-other instruments will not turn back on automatically if turned off
-wait, windows PC should automatically turn back on and start teamviewer

Power supply remote control interface
-using python script to control power supply, RsVISA software running on Windows just cannot detect device
-script name: sliceboardGuiDev_controlPowerSupply_hmp4040_105631.py
-location on berenice: /home/atlas/SCRATCH/supplyControl
-running power supply control script:
	-log on to berenice atlas account
	-cd /home/atlas/SCRATCH/supplyControl
	-source venv/bin/activate
	-turn ON supply: 
	python sliceboardGuiDev_controlPowerSupply_hmp4040_105631.py ON
	-turn OFF supply:
	python sliceboardGuiDev_controlPowerSupply_hmp4040_105631.py OFF
-can also run it off your own PC if forwarding ports from Nevis network
