Danger

Work in progress

Commands are sended to Pyrame using: bindpyrame.sendcmd(host,port,function,argList) in the python GUI file.

Parameter	Function	Value	Type
host	The IP address of the virtual machine	192.168.56.101	String
port	Module port	MATIS: 9760 IdeFX: 9761 PEPITA: 9762	Integer
function	Name of the function	"my_awesome_function"	String
argList	List of arguments	"arg1", "arg2" ....	String

Caution

Because the PEPITA ASIC is not available at this time (february 2020), we use Idefx for illustration purpose. PEPITA will use same functions.

You have to call register_operation(idefx_id,asicMode,asicAddress,regName,regValue,regMode) to perfom register oprations. The following table gives the argument specifications, it is the argList of the sendcmd command. In case of PEPITA, idefx_id is replaced by pepita_id.

Parameter	Value	Type
idefx_id	The id defined in init_idefx	String
asic_mode	0 for mono ASIC; 1 for multi ASICs	String
asic_address	0 (ASIC#0) to 7 (ASIC#7), 8 (ALL ASICs)	String
regName	The target register name	String
regValue	The value to be written in the register	String
regMode	Operation mode: Write, Read or W/R	String
regLoop (not yet used)	Loop operation, 0: no loop, 1: loop	String

Exemples

#Init and power on MATIS

import bindpyrame

ipVM = "192.168.56.101"
conf_string_matis="matis(bus=tcp(host=192.168.0.10))"

retcode,res = bindpyrame.sendcmd(ipVM,9760,"init_matis","matis",conf_string_matis)
print(retcode,res)

retcode,res = bindpyrame.sendcmd(ipVM,9760,"power_on_matis","matis")
print(retcode,res)

#Switch the multiplexer to channel 2 (ASIC).

import bindpyrame

ipVM = "192.168.56.101"

retcode,res = bindpyrame.sendcmd(ipVM,9760,"set_multiplexer_channel_matis","matis","2")
print(retcode,res)

#Read a register (peaking time, TPEAK).
#res is always a binary string

import bindpyrame

ipVM = "192.168.56.101"

retcode,res = bindpyrame.sendcmd(ipVM,9761,"init_idefx","idefx","matis")
print(retcode,res)

retcode,res = bindpyrame.sendcmd(ipVM,9761,"register_operation_idefx","idefx",
"0","0","TPEAK","0","Read")

print("Default code for TPEAK is 15")
print(int(res,2))
