Basic Installation
In order to use and run EUDAQ, we recommend to use a stable release!
Download the zip file or clone the repository to stay up-to-date, just follow these steps:
git clone https://github.com/eudaq/eudaq.git eudaq In order to get the latest release version, list all releases and switch to the latest one (here e.g. v2.2.0):
git tag
git checkout v2.2.0
For installation, execute these steps:
cd eudaq/build
cmake ..
make install
Detailed installation: Please have a look at the README.md included in the source code or the EUDAQ user manual (see below).
Version 1 and 2 and development
EUDAQ 1 is based on one central data collector providing an event definition by associating one trigger to one read-out of each sub-detector. This comes with a (EUDET or AIDA) TLU providing a global trigger-busy handshake communication.
EUDAQ 2 comes with feature updates: This version additionally provides distributed data taking by using multiple data collectors. The synchronisation can also performed by trigger IDs or by timestamps provided by a common clock. For these new options the TLU has to provide a individual trigger-busy handshake communication or a common clock to the device-DAQs.
There are two development branches which are used for new commits:
master for version 2 and v1.x-dev for version 1.
The development for version 1 reduces mainly to bug fixes and anhancements, the development of new functionalities and features will happen on the master-branch.
User Manual
You can generate the pdf manual from the LaTeX sources included in EUDAQ:
cd build
cmake -DEUDAQ_BUILD_MANUAL=ON ..
make pdf
Afterwards, the manual can then be found in eudaq/build/doc/manual/EUDAQUserManual.pdf
Find here the compiled version of the EUDAQ user manual: v2.0 or v1.7
Doxygen Source Code Documentation
To be checked/updated for version 2!
You can generate a html doxygen documentation from the source code itself, which describes the used namespaces, classes and file hierarchy of the EUDAQ code:
cd build
cmake ..
make doxygen
The resulting HTML files are stored in eudaq/doc/doxygen/html.
Find here a generated version of the code documentation .
