The System menu

• Refresh
  This menu item refreshes all the IPC references between SctGUI and the various components of SctRodDaq, and refreshes the display. Normally you would not need to use this item, unless you suspect the communication has been lost to some component (eg, if the calibration controller is not responding to requests to start a test).
• Hardware Configuration
  This opens a window dedicated to the displaying and editing of the current module configuration. Please look at the section on module configuration for detailed information.
• CalibrationController
  Brings up a submenu to set CalibrationController options:
  
  Ping - Ping the CalibrationController to check its status.
  Update - Update mode. In this mode, the module configuration is updated by the test result after the test has completed (when appropriate, eg strobe delays, trim settings etc)
  No-Update - No-Update mode. The module configuration is not updated at the end of the test.
  Wait - Wait mode. In this mode, the CalibrationController will suspend after a test, UNTIL you select Update mode or No-Update mode. For interest to experts only - you would not normally select this mode, because the CalibrationController will remain permanently busy!
  Abort - Abort the currently executing test.
  
  Note this submenu is also available by right-mouseclicking on the 'Scan Status' panel at the top right of the SctGUI.

The Display menu

• ModuleGroup Selection
  Switch to the ModuleGroup Selection display mode.
• Data Manager
  Switch to the Data Manager display mode.
• Test Results
  Switch to the Test Results display mode.
• SCTDAQ Reference
  Switch to the SCTDAQ Reference display mode.
• SctRodDaq Reference
  Switch to the SctRodDaq Reference display mode.
• DCS Info
  Switch to the DCS Info display mode.
• IVscan Data
  Switch to the IV Scan Data display mode.
• Toolbar
  Open a tool bar with the display mode options. You may find this preferable to using menus.

The Tests menu

• BOC Setup
  Invoke BOC-specific test scans
• Digital Tests
  Invoke SctRodDaq digital tests (NMask, Pipeline, fullByPass tests).
• Analogue Tests
  Invoke SctRodDaq Analogue tests (StrobeDelay, 3PtGain, ResponseCurve (10PtGain), Noise Occupancy, TimeWalk tests)
• Sequences
  Invoke a full module characterisation sequence (like sctdaq)
• SCTDAQ Exerciser
  Run the SctRodDaq analysis chain using SCTDAQ data. The raw data source in this case are ROOT files generated during an SCTDAQ module characterisation, and not the RodDaq, but otherwise the data are treated and analysed in an identical fashion. Note the data corresponds to module 20220330200020 and is published with the same serial number. Hence if your SctRodDaq module configuration does not include the serial number 20220330200020, the data will not be visible to SctGUI!!
  
  To view the data without changing the SctRodDaq module configuration, select menus Options->Configuration->'Manual Configuration...' and select an unused row/position or quadrant/position. Enter 20220330200020 as the serial number. SctGUI will then display data for serial number 20220330200020 even if it missing from the SctRodDaq module configuration.

The Options menu

• Configuration
  Read Hardware Configuration Update SctGUI with the current SctRodDaq module configuration. This should usually be un-necessary, since SctGUI updates automatically whenever the moduke configuration changes.
  Manual Configuration... Add a module to SctGUI module configuration, WITHOUT adding it to the SctRodDaq module configuration. The only reason you would want to do this, is to display data generated by the SCTDAQ exerciser which is always published with the serial number 20220330200020.
• Display
  Clear Result Cache Reset the SctGUI result cache. SctGUI caches a limited number of module test results to avoid overloading the IS servers. You can clear the cache to force SctGUI to re-read the test result from IS.
  Reset all Color Scales Resets all your colour scale settings to their default values. Be careful - you may not want to do this if you've edited a lot of colour scales to your favourite colours!
AutoSelect New Tests If this tick box is selected, SctGUI will automatically select the new test for display, as soon as it is invoked. If you are looking through old data, while at the same time running a characterisation sequence which starts many new tests, you might wish to de-activate this feature, otherwise the display will keep switching to the currently executing test!
