I have a made the change to add a separate flag control to avoid using the emulator_mode
flag. The change is in the branch aabedabu/generate_adc_pattern
and it is available in daqconf
, readoutlibs
and fdreadoutlibs
.
If needed I will also add a configuration parameter to control the rate generation
In WIBEthFrameProcessor, the _emulatormode flag is overloaded to enable the modification of the WIB ADC data (in addition to its existing behavior of enabling the over-writing of the timestamps in the WIB data). I found it confusing to have the
emulator_mode
flag grow this new meaning without any advertisement of the new functionality.I would request a new, separate flag to control the over-writing of the ADC data. Something like
generate_periodic_adc_pattern_data
. And, it might be useful to be able to configure the rate of generation of pattern data (compared to the fixed rate that is provided now).
