[feature request] Create a remote callable method for confCalPulseLocal

[bdorney]

Brief summary of issue

After discussing with @jsturdy we will need to have a remote callable method for confCalPulseLocal. This should go only in the legacy branch, e.g. release/v1.1.X.

Types of issue

• [ ] Bug report (report an issue with the code)
• [x] Feature request (request for change which adds functionality)

Expected Behavior

https://github.com/cms-gem-daq-project/ctp7_modules/blob/develop/src/calibration_routines.cpp#L39

Have a remote callable method, called confCalPulse, for the local function confCalPulseLocal.

Current Behavior

No remote callable method exists.

Context (for feature requests)

When trying to develop a script similar to set_scanParams_latency.py but for scurves via tracking data path we will need a way to start/stop calibration pulses to a given set of channels.

Hi @bdorney,

I added the remote callable function as below:

void confCalPulse(const RPCMsg *request, RPCMsg *response)
{
    GETLOCALARGS(response);

    uint32_t ohN = request->get_word("ohN");
    uint32_t mask = request->get_word("mask");
    uint32_t ch = request->get_word("ch");
    bool toggleOn = request->get_word("toggleOn");
    bool currentPulse = request->get_word("currentPulse");
    uint32_t calScaleFactor = request->get_word("calScaleFactor");

    confCalPulseLocal(&la, ohN, mask, ch, toggleOn, currentPulse, calScaleFactor);
    LOGGER->log_message(LogManager::DEBUG, stdsprintf("Finished configuring the calibration pulse."));

    rtxn.abort();
}

Also, I modified the corresponding header file.

Its compiling without any error. How I can run this and see if the calibration pulse is configured correctly or not?

Reserve time on the coffin setup and use the same approach you used when testing the SCA ADC interface.

You can read back registers using the gem_reg.py tool. e.g. try to use your function to write registers and then use gem_reg.py to see if your changes were applied.
