EPD DB Tables

There are many EPD database tables, which may be found at dashboard1.star.bnl.gov/daq/DCS_UI/

I am trying to figure out how to use them to monitor and control the EPD.

Here is the list of tables:



At the moment, "EPD Master Table" does not appear at all.


Here is the "EPD FEE Table".  It has 97 rows.  Is it useful for monitoring or control?  If we no longer address via 1wire, then it would seem archival at best.




Here is "EPD Main Control."  Its one row basically holds the current state of the system.



This is "EPD TUFF Control".  It tells the status of the TUFFs, including voltage readings and how many FEEs it has on each branch.  (This number is updated with every 1wire scan.)




Here is "EPD FEE Control."  It has 784 rows.  This seems like the important one, in terms of controlling and monitoring the FEEs.
  • question: how relevant is 1wire ID?  Is it "keyed on" anywhere in the database?
  • the column headings are unfortunately a hybrid of EPD-specific quantities (PP,Tile...) and hand-me-downs from other detectors (e.g. Vcal1 is from FPS and is always zero for us, Vcal0 is our Vset, etc etc.) 
  • Wanbing: this is the table you use for your GUI?
  • I'm not sure what is "PP=-2" etc.  The map given here should be built into this table.  How to do it?
