ATLAS SCT Macro-Assembly DAQ downloads

The various DAQ releases are collected on this page. Source Releases will require building, for which instructions will be provided. The Binary Releases are pre-compiled on the supported platform.

Release 4.3(RC3) (22nd Dec 2005)

Release 4.3(RC3) is the third attempt at an "official" tdaq-01-XX-XX release (tdaq-01-04-01 in this case). It is the same as Release 4.3(RC2) except that (1) it contains a workaround in SctApi for a bug in the DSP code which manifested itself as a crisis when event different SDSPs were taking longer than others and SDSP 0 was not finishing last. The workaround is to read out the SDSP event counters rather than the (faulty) MDSP counter so that the right number of events get read out, and (2) Alan has fixed the part of the Analysis Service that was previously happy to pass (NO?) tests with zero occupancy.
Detailed list of Known Issues (both good and bad) in this release.
Source Release
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 3.2.3). Information about the build can be obtained from the command "SctRodDaqVersion -l" - the output for this particular build can be seen here.

Release 4.3(RC2) (16th Dec 2005)

Release 4.3(RC2) is the second attempt at an "official" tdaq-01-XX-XX release (tdaq-01-04-01 in this case). It is the same as Release 4.3(RC1) except that (1) it contains some minor bug fixes discovered during the RC1 build, and (2) this time the DSP code experts have provided the right MDSP and SDSP binaries. Also FlashLoadCrate now has sourcode attached.

Release 4.3(RC1) (15th Dec 2005)

Release 4.3(RC1) is the first attempt at an "official" tdaq-01-XX-XX release (tdaq-01-04-01 in this case). It also includes a lot of DSP code changes. Although this release can be downloaded from this page, it is not yet officially official, and is only made available for testing purposes. Some modification of it will hopefully become official soon.

Release 4.2 (16th Sept 2005)

Release 4.1.1 (21st Feb 2005)

A bug-fix release for version 4.1. Release 4.1.1 is the first 4.x series release based on online-00-22-00 and Dataflow-00-10-00 expected to be useful to non-developers.
Known Issues in this release.

Release 4.1 (10th Feb 2005)

A second release of version 4.
This release has been withdrawn. If you are a developer and you know what you are doing and you really want to get it, go to this page.

Release 4.0 (3rd Feb 2005)

A first release of version 4. (online-00-22-00 and Dataflow-00-10-00 based)
This release has been withdrawn. If you are a developer and you know what you are doing and you really want to get it, go to this page.

Release 3.2.RC1 (14th January 2005)

A release candidate incorporating bug fixes to 3.01 and extensions that were found necessary during the assembly of Barrel III in Oxford during the last months of 2004.
Known Issues in this release.
Source Release
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 3.2). Information about the build can be obtained from the command "SctRodDaqVersion -l" - the output for this particular build can be seen here.

Release 3.01 (31st July 2004)

A bug-fix release -- like Release 3.0 but with a few updates. The main change is in the Noise Occupancy scan. After a few false starts, this version seems to be OK and should probably be used in preference to 3.0.
Known Issues in this release.
Source Release
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 3.2). Information about the build can be obtained from the command "SctRodDaqVersion -l" - the output for this particular build can be seen here.

Release 3.0 (15th July 2004)

This is the third publicly advertised release of the DAQ. There is no precompiled release based on the 2.95 compiler.
Known Issues in this release.
Source Release
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 3.2). Information about the build can be obtained from the command "SctRodDaqVersion -l" - the output for this particular build can be seen here.

Release 2.1 (16 December 2003)

This is the second publicly-advertised release of the DAQ. It includes a number of significant improvements over 2.01 - new DSP code with speed and reliability enhancements and a number of bugs fixed. The binary releases have been compiled under gcc 3.2 (recommended for use) and 2.95 (retained for compatibility). In future it is likely that only the gcc 3.2 will be actively supported.
Known Issues in this release.
Source Release
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 3.2 )
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 2. 95)

Release 2.01 (9 December 2003)

This is the first publicly-advertised release of the DAQ - earlier releases are therefore not made available via this page.
2.01 is a bug-fix release - the Noise Occupancy scan should now produce reasonable results, and a problem with threads in the Archiving Service has been fixed.
Known Issues in this release.
Source Release
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 3.2)
Pre-compiled Binary Release (gcc 2.95)
