= FofbTool Module
This python module provides functions to deal with the Fofb MTCA platform.
It connects to the OPCUAProxy tango devices.
The module is packaged in sections
* FofbTool.Configuration: For application configuration
* FofbTool.Operation: Function to perform operation (start, stop...)
* FofbTool.DeviceAttributeConfiguration: contains functions to apply tango attribute configuration
There is also a Command Line Interface bin/FofbTool written in python.
To deploy on the RCM, move into dir and execute install_rcm.sh.
This stops the communication on all the nodes.
Also stops Bpm to CellNode communication blocks.
Then apply the default configuration on FPGA blocks:
* ComCellNode (Expected packets, correct MAC size...)
* ComBPM (BPM ID filter Filter for each CellNode...)
* ComCorr (Default PSCID on output...)
IMPORTANT: This do not configure Orbit Reference or Inv Response Matrix.
This do not start the FOFB, only the communication.
WARNING: PSC will receive frames upon start. Better stop the FOFB beforehand. The CLI won't let you do that.
Upon restart of OPCUAProxy Tango DS, to reapply attribute configuration (units, alarm level, descriptions...)

usage: FofbTool [-h] [--log LOG] [--conf-file CONF_FILE] [--DS-init-opcua]
[--DS-init-watcher] [--DS-conf] [--stop] [--stop-combpm]
[--stop-ccn]
[--configure {combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} [{combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} ...]]
[--start] [--start-combpm] [--start-ccn]
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log LOG Log level (error, warning, info, debug)
--conf-file CONF_FILE
Path to config file to apply.
--DS-init-opcua Run init on opcua devices.
--DS-init-watcher Run init on the Fofb-Watcher device, and then the
Fofb-Command.
--DS-conf Applying attribute configuration on Tango Device
Servers. This is required after restart of devices.
--stop Stop command for the CCN and ComBPM applications
blocks.
--stop-combpm Stop command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--stop-ccn Stop command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--configure {combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} [{combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all,every} ...]
Configuration commands for the Fofb applications
blocs. 'all' is for all com, not configuring
corrector. 'every' configure everything.
--start Start command for the CCN and ComBPM applications
blocks.
--start-combpm Start command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--start-ccn Start command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
