         CESR Beam Instrumentation Control Application (CBIC)
                       Version 1.10.19

Command Line Options

Flag   Description Usage/further information
-h   This help information. HelpInformation
-v   Version information for this application and its supporting components. VersionInformation
-f <filename> Specify a particular application configuration file to use.
This allows for command-line requesting of different sets of
instruments to bring online in a given session and other startup
options. The file must reside in the current working directory.
If this option is not specified, the default config file
'cbic.conf' will be read from the current working directory
$CESR_ONLINE/instr/CBPM/ops
sample files:
cbic.conf-14ns-FixedGain
cbic.conf-4ns-VariableGain
-a <allocation-spec>

Specify an instrument allocation scheme / allocation name pair
to use for this application instance.

$CESR_ONLINE/instr/CBPM/allocation
sample file: Instrument_allocations

-a Standard:West
OR
-a Custom:Blank (to connect to NO BPMs)
OR
-a Literal:BPM_12W3,BPM_8AW (to specify the BPMs in a list)
-b   'BACK-END' mode. Start program, reading configuration as normal, then drop into
a wait state for an incoming network connection from a manager program,
potentially on a remote host.
Once a connection is established, the manager will have full control of this
program.
. not used much anymore .
-s   Go directly into SERVER MODE.
Once all instruments are polled and brought
online, this will place the application into BPM data server mode to allow
3rd party beam position requests. CESRV and orbit are two programs that use
a BPM server to acquire their data.
This is used for the East and West servers.
This gets automatically to where Menu option 17 will take you manually.
-c   Go directly into CURRENT MONITOR MODE DEFAULT
Intended for bringing a SINGLE instrument online and activating
it to allow continuous bunch-by-bunch current monitoring
The instrument to use for monitoring currents is specified in
the instrument list file with a 'CURRMON' server ID specification.
places data in the mnemonics:
POS_2NS_MAMP, ELE_2NS_MAMP, and CSR_CURRENTS
-e   Older version of Current Monitor. No longer supported.
-i   Use Current Monitor Test Mnemonics instead of the real MPM Database nodes.
used as a test mode, instead of putting data into the usual mnemonics,
they are place in special Test mnemonics
places data in the mnemonics:
POS_TST_MAMP, ELE_TST_MAMP, and TST_CURRENTS
-w   Go directly into POSITION MONITOR MODE
Intended for bringing a GROUP of instruments online and activating
it to allow continuous position monitoring
This gets automatically to where Menu option 41 will take you manually.
PositionMonitorSampleOutput
-d <#> Set debug verbosity level 0 - 5
Determines the level of detail that debugging and trace printouts
show during operation.
0 means no additional debugging output- equivalent to not using '-d'
5 means maximum detail in debugging output
The application defaults to level 0 if no option is specified.
NOTE: Level 5 prints a LOT of information and may in fact clutter useful
information or scroll it off the screen more rapidly than it may be
productively used. It is recommended that the application is run
in a terminal window with a large scrollback buffer so that runtime
details are not lost.
 
-k   Keyboard input protection override - used for running CBIC with command files.
There is a check to make sure that commands aren't entered to fast,
since sometimes due to an unexplained bug, CBIC will just take off,
like someone is entering commands as fast as possible.
The protection will automatically stop the program if
commands happen too fast 5 times in a row.
This protection override is used if you run CBIC from a command file,
since there the won't BE any time delay between commands being "entered".
 
-l   Start with long form of the menu.
When CBIC starts up, it is usually in the "User" menu, the shortest form.
With this option, CBIC will start with the Expert menu, the longest form.
 
-m   Enter 'MAINTENANCE MODE' wherein instruments are brought online with a
customizable set of communication checks and parameter reads.
0 means no maintenance mode will be used- equivalent to not using '-m'
1
2
3 Highest supported maintenance mode. Reads in general parameters but
avoids all communication with instruments to allow low level tasks to be
performed. Example: To perform a rapid blanket reset/wakeup of all
instruments after a power cycle of several instruments has taken place,
start up application in maintenance mode 3 and then run the RESET INSTRUMENT
command. Wait about 20 seconds. All instruments should be ready for use.
Exit and start application normally.
Hasn't been used much lately.
-M   Enter 'MANAGER MODE' wherein this application will start (remote) instances of
itself in Back-end mode and then connect to them for centralized control.
. not used much anymore .
-T   TESTING MANAGER MODE. The same as -M above, but DO NOT spawn copies
of each back-end instance requested. The back-ends will need to be started manually.
Used for testing.
. not used much anymore .
-t   Trigger-enable mode. The program will set the trigger (data) enable flag in the
CESR database on its own once all instruments are set up and ready to acquire data.
The program then de-asserts the trigger enable once the measurement is complete.
 
-g   Graphical User Interface (GUI) mode. Allows for windowed, graphical
control of some program functions.
except it's been discontinued for years: 12682, look at use_gui
-o <#> Set Debug Option mode 1 integer choice if debug verbosity level is 2 or greater , and -o > 0
then Current Monitor will print out array of bunch currents.
The -p switch specifies whether the print out is raw data
or current_array scaled and filtered.
-p <#> Set Debug Option mode 2 to 1 if debug verbosity level is 2 or greater, and -o > 0, then Current Monitor:
DEFAULT: printf( current_array scaled and filtered)
if -p is not 0 : printf( current raw signal sum)
-q <#> Set Debug Option mode 3 to 1 60 Hz synchronize data acquisition trigger for Current Monitor
DEFAULT: trigger = TRIG_MASK_A 60 Hz trigger
if -q flag set: trigger = TRIG_MASK_NONE, no 60 Hz trigger
-r <#> Set Debug Option mode 4 floating point choice exponentional filter time constant for Current Monitor
DEFAULT: a = 4.0
or you can set "a" to a floating point number in the following equation:
newCurrentMeasurement = (1.-1./a)*oldCurrentMeasurement
-u <#> Set Debug Option mode 5 to 1 no longer used
