Module Group Selection Display Mode

Use the Module Group Selection display mode to view and optionally change the ModuleGroup numbering for each module. Modules can belong to one of eight ModuleGroups (0 to 7) or to no ModuleGroup. The colour of the module indicates the ModuleGroup, according to the colour scale. If the module does not belong to any ModuleGroup, it does not take part in tests. The top spreadsheet lists the number of modules in each ModuleGroup. The bottom spreadsheet lists the modules in the selected ModuleGroup (ie as selected in the Options list, and highlighted in the top spreadsheet).

Changing the ModuleGroup of a module
You want to change the ModuleGroup of a module or a number of modules from 0 to 2 (say).

Right-MouseClick Options
1. In the main colour display
Right-mouseclick on a module to remove it from the selected ModuleGroup.
Right-mouseclick anywhere else on the display to select a different display mode.
2. On the colour scale
Right-mouseclick on the colour scale to change the colours for the ModuleGroups. For module group selection displays, you are not permitted to change the ModuleGroup numbering or to change to gradient colour scale (discrete colours only).

Data Manager Display Mode

The Data Manager display mode allows you to view the status of the SctRodDaq analysis chain for any test, including tests in progress. Select the test in the top spreadsheet, and then select 'Raw Data', 'Fitted Data' or 'Analysed Data' in the Display Data options list. Then click on a module in the display to list all of the corresponding data objects in the bottom spreadsheet.

For a test involving X scans, the sctAPI will publish X raw data objects in IS. The SctRodDaq FittingService performs fitting for each of the X raw data objects, and publishes X fitted data objects. The FittingService starts its work as soon as the first raw data object appears, so fitted data objects for the first scans may be published before the later raw data scans are published. After all of the X fitted data objects have been published, the AnalysisService analyses the data from all X objects and publishes a single test result object.

The colour of each module in the Data Manager display mode indicates the number of published objects for the raw data, the fitted data and the analysed data, and therefore illustrates the status of the full analysis chain at any given moment. The colour scale varies from red (no objects published) to green (all objects published), but the colours may be changed according to your taste! The colour scale limits wil change from 0 to the number of scans in the test (for Raw Data and Fitted Data), and from 0 to 1 (for Analysed Data).

4. On the top spreadsheet
Right-mouseclick on any test to delete that test, ie remove all objects associated with that test from the various IS servers. This has potentially dangerous repercussions, and is for experts only. Under normal conditions, you should never delete a test.

Test Results Display Mode

Use the Test Results display mode to view the results of the analysis for any test, including the DCS conditions for that test. You can also view the SCTDAQ reference data for the selected test, and a comparison between the SctRodDaq analysis result and the SCTDAQ reference. Select the test in the top spreadsheet, and the parameters in the Display Data and Options list on the left, and the colour of the module indicates the value of that selected parameter(s) according to the colour scale. The bottom spreadsheet lists the data for the selected parameter(s) for each module. By default the SctRodDaq analysis result is displayed, but by right-mouseclicking on the display you can select to view a comparison with SCTDAQ reference data or the SCTDAQ reference data itself. The data is also displayed in the display header when the mouse is moved across a module. Clicking on a module highlights the data in the bottom spreadsheet.

SCTDAQ Reference Display Mode

The SCTDAQ Reference display mode is used to download and view SCTDAQ reference data. SCTDAQ reference data can also be viewed in the Test Results display mode, but the reference data must be downloaded first in the SCTDAQ Reference display mode. Before the database data is downloaded, the display for a selected test will show 'No Data' for all selected parameters. Right-mouseclick on the display (or use menu Options->SCT DataBase->SCTDAQ Reference->Download SCTDAQ Reference Data) to download the data from the SCT database. The connection to the database and subsequent download may take several seconds, but the sctGUI remains responsive and updates automatically when the data arrives. By default, the most recently uploaded SCTDAQ data for this module will be downloaded. But you can request data from a specific institute by EITHER right-mouseclicking on the display and selecting the 'SCTDAQ Reference' submenu OR by selecting menu Options->SCT DataBase->SCTDAQ Reference->'SCTDAQ Test Location...' before starting the download.

SctRodDaq Reference Display Mode

The SctRodDaq Reference display mode is used to view SctRodDaq reference data from the SCT database. If no tests are listed when switching to this mode, or you wish to download and view data that is not already listed, download the reference data by either:

- (Menu) Options -> SCT Database -> SctRodDaq Downloads -> Download SctRodDaq Data
OR
- right-mouseclick on the display and select SctRodDaq Downloads->Download SctRodDaq data.


A dialog box will open... select the type of test that you want to download (note that only SCTDAQ-compatible tests are retrievable from the SCT database), and click on 'List Available Data'. After a few seconds, a list of the available data in the database will appear as a spreadsheet. Select a line in the spreadsheet to select which data you wish to download, and click on 'Download Selected Test'. SctGUI will automatically update when the data has been downloaded.

DCS Info Display Mode

DCS Info Display mode is used to view the present DCS conditions for all modules in the current module configuration. Select the DCS parameter in the Display Data list, and the display shows the current value of that paremeter for each module. The bottom spreadsheet lists the data. The colour display and the data spreadsheet update whenever the DCS conditions are updated, and the time of the most recent update is shown in the top spreadsheet.

To use this mode, DCS must be configured to publish the following parameters in IS:
  1. Sensor HV
  2. Sensor current
  3. Hybrid T0
  4. Hybrid T1
  5. Chip Vcc
  6. Chip Icc
  7. Chip Vdd
  8. Chip Idd
The name of the IS server which DCS uses to publish the data must be set using the Options->DCS->'IS Server Name...' menu of SctGUI. If in doubt, list the available IS servers by using the 'Tools->IS Tree' menu to find the DCS IS server. Once the DCS IS server name has been set in Options menu, it does not need to be reset in subsequent restarts of SctGUI.

Right-MouseClick Options
1. On the display but not on a module
You can switch to a different display mode, or invoke a new test from these popup menus.
2. On the Color Scale
You can add/remove/edit scale values and the scale colours.

IV scan Data Display Mode

Use IVscan Data Display mode to view IV scan data and plot IV curves. IV scans need to be imported before they can be viewed by SctGUI, and you will automatically be prompted to import IV scans if no IV scans are currently available to SctGUI.

Before IV scans can be imported, define the data directory where DCS has written the IV files by selecting menu 'Options->DCS->IV Scan Data Directory...'. Once this directory is defined, it does not need to be repeated for subsequent restarts of SctGUI.

To import one or more IV scans, right-mouseclick on the display and select 'IVscans->Import IV Scans...'. A dialog box opens with a spreadsheet list of all IVscans taken by DCS for those modules that are in the current module configuration. The spreadsheet contains the run, scan, date and time of the IV scans, the number of the modules which took part in that IV scan, and whether that IV scan has already been imported by SctGUI or not. Select one or several IV scans in the spreadsheet, and click on 'Import Selected Scan(s)'. The imported IV scans will appear in the top SctGUI spreadsheet, and the colour display updates with the IV scan which is selected in that spreadsheet. The colour display shows the leakage current value for the IVscan voltage step that is selected in the Options list.

To generate IV curves, right-mouselick on a module and select 'Plot IV curve' to view the IV curve for that module, or right-mouseclick on the display (not directly on a module) and select 'Plot IV Curves' to plot all the IV curves on one plot.
