Mandate (work)
At the CALICE Collaboration Meeting in Madrid it was decided to set up an expert working group with the aim to enable common data taking of different subsystems within CALICE. The goal of to deliver the proof that the following combinations of running are possible, SiW-Ecal/SDHCAL, SiW-Ecal/AHCAL (or equivalently SiW-Ecal/ScW-Ecal), cW-Ecal/AHCAL.
In order to do this DAQ task Force is to work out a set of technical questions (hardware and software) and propose and enact concrete means to answer these questions, based on the hardware that is currently available.
It is asked to the group to report regularly at the Technical Board and provide a documentation summarising the solutions after one year. In the second year, the task consist in the critical expertise of the running setups of the combined tests.

Mandate (Org)
The group will be initially set up for a period of two years. The group organises itself, including in its composition to adapt to evolving priorities (e.g. from hardware to software matters).
A coordinator will be decided at the first meeting. It is his responsibility to organise and convene regular meetings, report (or insure that a report is done) to the Technical Board and make sure the documentation is made public in due time.
On critical aspects the group (or member of) can reach support from the CALICE-TB or even CALICE-SB.

Needs for DAQ2
For SiW ECAL test and, immediate needs are
Debug & Basic Monitoring (online)
Shape to be defined...
Some tools exists, … ~extensive list here.
For Testbeam and AIDA & longer term (~fall ?)
Integration in a common interface
For future would precognise EUDAQ.
Other tools already exist...

8. EUDAQ for calos | AIDA final meeting | 10/12/2014
Online Monitoring
Needs ~ 4 levels:
Acquisition (R&D, GDCC validation)
⇒ Stats from PC and cards (rates/counters), check of a reproducable signal [injection], step-by-step validation of connectivity
SLAB functionnality: transmission of signals, connection with ROC
+ step-by-step validation of config loading,
+ “basic” data analysis with ~ stable config (& tools to set-it).
SLAB performances (cosmics, injection)
+ complex data analysis, scripting
TestBeams:
+ long term monitoring of key parameters, logging, run keeping, ConditionDB

9. EUDAQ for calos | AIDA final meeting | 10/12/2014
Statistics tools
DAQ stat ⇒ in shared mem (ext. screen printing & in histograms)
Statmod from Pyrame (push on subscription)
Calicoes/Pyrame counters
Number of lost packets at each level
nb of packet (total & /DIF)
data_size / RO (total & / DIF)
nb of ROC / RO (total & / DIF)
nb ROC evts / RO (total & / DIF)
Post-run stats (commands). → on GUI (PhyGUI … C++ work in progress...)
Card registers:
DIF counters (with enough length to avoid overfill)
GDCC registers
External counters (via Pyrame)

Data Quality Existing
Existing Online (RT)
Fast monitoring by Frédéric (beam profile) in Python
Circular buffer (concept proof, in Root)
HitCam
Existing Offline (after run)
Skiroc_stat (Python)
Raw2Root (by Thibault)
last TB : many histograms
Needs better “hierarchical” presentation.
Example exists in SDHCAL code (Qt) to be adapted.
R analysis (by Vladik)
Complete analysis framework
for online needs decoupling of decoding & histos
data from Calicoes evt builder ⇒ subsampling socket
on request (random, on evt#)

Debug & monitoring
Identification of errors, signalisation & actions:
Existing: Failsafe version mode of configs
Timing in XML
Review of error messages → log parser ? all to be evaluated
Check for message counts/ missing critical things...
Some examples:
pylogsparser to be evaluated]
Analog [
DejaVu (from memory) [
or Complex Event Processing tool
High Level Error msg:
in cmd_det: Transitions errors
In PHYGUI
