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 * FofbTool.Utils: Usefull function that relies on ConfigParser files and call the operation/configuration. Used by the command line tool.
There is also a Command Line Interface bin/FofbTool written in python.
Command Line Interface: Basic usages
Classic: stop, config, start
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…)
| This do not configure Orbit Reference or Inv Response Matrix. This do not start the FOFB, only the communication. |
| PSC will receive frames upon start. Better stop the FOFB beforehand. The CLI won’t let you do that. |
$ FofbTool --stop --conf --startConfigure OPCUAProxy DS
Upon restart of OPCUAProxy Tango DS, to reapply attribute configuration (units, alarm level, descriptions…)

version x.x
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--log LOG Log level (error, warning, info, debug)
--force Force operation even if FOFB is running.
--fileconfig FILECONFIG
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.
--stop-comlbp Stop command for the ComLBP applications blocks.
--dump-configuration DUMP_CONFIGURATION
Dump the current configuration in a file at the giver
path.
--configure [{combpm,ccn,comcorr,corr,all}]
Configuration commands for the Fofb applications
blocs. 'all' is for all com and corrector. Default is
'all'
--align-fa cellnode-cXX
Start alignement process for electron and brillance
plus FA sequence. The designation of the cellnode must
be set as argument.
--nolbp Do not start comlbp module when doing start.
--start Start command for the CCN and ComBPM applications
blocks.
--start-combpm Start command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--start-comlbp Start command for the ComLBP applications blocks.
--start-ccn Start command for the ComBPM applications blocks.
--sync Start synchronization sequence for Libera Electron and
Libera Brillance Plus.
