The padme-adc package collects programs to use stand-alone ADC modules from CAEN using a RaspberryPi.

Installation procedure

• Install Raspbian OS. After installation make sure to update the OS and install some extra packets needed for padme-adc

pi@padmerasp2:~ $ sudo apt-get update
pi@padmerasp2:~ $ sudo apt-get upgrade
pi@padmerasp2:~ $ sudo apt-get install emacs
pi@padmerasp2:~ $ sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers

• Create a directory for CAEN software

pi@padmerasp2:~ $ mkdir CAEN
pi@padmerasp2:~ $ cd CAEN

• Download Linux version of USB driver from CAEN site (file CAENUSBdrvB-1.5.2.tgz) then compile and install it

pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN $ tar -xzvf CAENUSBdrvB-1.5.2.tgz
pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN $ cd CAENUSBdrvB-1.5.2
pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN/CAENUSBdrvB-1.5.2 $ make
pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN/CAENUSBdrvB-1.5.2 $ sudo make install
pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN/CAENUSBdrvB-1.5.2 $ cd ..

• Obtain precompiled CAENDigitizer libraries for ARM (need to directly contact CAEN)

pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN $ ls -l lib
totale 256
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi     20 apr 11 13:58 libCAENComm.so -> libCAENComm.so.1.1.0
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi  19168 mag 11  2016 libCAENComm.so.1.1.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi     25 apr 11 13:58 libCAENDigitizer.so -> libCAENDigitizer.so.2.7.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 179316 mag 11  2016 libCAENDigitizer.so.2.7.4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pi pi     18 apr 11 13:58 libCAENVME.so -> libCAENVME.so.2.50
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi  58812 mag 11  2016 libCAENVME.so.2.50

• Install header files for the CAENDigitizer libraries (download Linux version from CAEN and copy them)

pi@padmerasp2:~/CAEN $ ls -l include
totale 244
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 20790 nov 27  2017 CAENComm.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 76521 nov 27  2017 CAENDigitizer.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 55968 nov 27  2017 CAENDigitizerType.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 62594 nov 27  2017 CAENVMElib.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi   800 nov 27  2017 CAENVMEoslib.h
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pi pi 17786 nov 27  2017 CAENVMEtypes.h

• Use git to obtain latest version of the padme-adc package (you can use https if you are not planning to change the code)

pi@padmerasp2:~ $ git clone ssh://[email protected]/PADME-Experiment/padme-adc.git

• Edit padme-adc-config.sh and point CAENDIR to top directory containing lib and include subdirectories.

pi@padmerasp2:~ $ cd padme-adc
pi@padmerasp2:~/padme-adc $ emacs padme-adc-config.sh
...
# This directory contains the lib and include directories needed
# to access to CAEN digitizer libraries
export CAENDIR="/home/pi/CAEN"
...

• Configure the enviroment and compile PadmeADC.exe

pi@padmerasp2:~/padme-adc $ . padme-adc-config.sh
pi@padmerasp2:~/padme-adc $ cd PadmeADC
pi@padmerasp2:~/padme-adc/PadmeADC $ make
