+====== How to run tests with Pixel Online Software ======
+===== How to start POS =====
+  * if you run from remote follow first [[phase1:phase1:remoteconnection|these instructions]]
+  * start xdaq applications:
+  cd ~/ph1_TriDAS/
+  source setenv.sh
+  cd pixel/PixelRun
+  killall xdaq.exe
+  ./run_UZHLabTest.sh ../XDAQConfiguration/XDAQ_ConfigurationUZHLabTest_TTC.xml
+  * open the browser and go to the PixelSupervisor web interface (if you run from remote you'll have to launch firefox remotely), the click on "Initialize"
+  http://cmspixel.physik.uzh.ch:1953/urn:xdaq-application:lid=51/Default
+  * set a configuration for a quick check that modules, FED and POHs are working:
+  cd ~/ph1_TriDAS/pixel/config/calib/3
+  cp calib_simple.dat calib.dat
+  * run a TBMDelay calibration clicking on the corresponding button in the PixelSupervisor menu, then click on "Configure". Once it's configured click on "Start".
+  * if everything worked you will see an output similar to this:
+  Contents of FIFO 1 for channel 32 (status = 11)
+  Decoded channel: 32
+  Found TBM header: 1
+  Found TBM trailer: 1
+  Event number: 10
+  ROCs enabled: 0
+  TBM trailer errors: 0
+  Found ROCs without hits: 4
+     - ROC #1 - last dac : 8
+     - ROC #2 - last dac : 8
+     - ROC #3 - last dac : 8
+     - ROC #4 - last dac : 8
+  Found ROCs with hits: 4
+  Total number of hits found: 4
+     - Channel #32 ROC #1 dcol 5 pxl 140 col 10 row 10 pulse height 252
+     - Channel #32 ROC #2 dcol 5 pxl 140 col 10 row 10 pulse height 207
+     - Channel #32 ROC #3 dcol 5 pxl 140 col 10 row 10 pulse height 255
+     - Channel #32 ROC #4 dcol 5 pxl 140 col 10 row 10 pulse height 243
+  * if you don't get a meaningfull output try first to click on "Halt" and rerun the calibration
+  * every time you want to restart from scratch (for instance after compiling) remember first to kill all xdaq applications (killall xdaq.exe)
+  * to compile just type
+  cd ~/ph1_TriDAS/pixel/
+  make Set=pixel
+  * **remember to power off once you are done!**
+===== How to develop calibration code =====
+) add the new calibration to the file **PixelCalibrations/src/common/PixelCalibrationFactory.cc** : this will create a new button in the calibration menu'. For instance:
+  #include "PixelCalibrations/include/PixelMyCalibration.h"
+  #include "PixelCalibrations/include/PixelFEDMyCalibration.h"
+  PixelCalibrationBase* PixelCalibrationFactory::getCalibration(const std::string& calibName, const PixelSupervisorConfiguration* pixSupConfPtr, SOAPCommander* soapCmdrPtr,PixelD CSSOAPCommander* dcsSoapCommanderPtr, PixelDCSPVSSCommander* pvssCommanderPtr) const{
+    ......
+    if (calibName=="MyCalib") {
+      return new PixelMyCalibration(*pixSupConfPtr, soapCmdrPtr);
+    }
+    ......
+  }
+  PixelFEDCalibrationBase* PixelCalibrationFactory::getFEDCalibration(const std::string& calibName, const PixelFEDSupervisorConfiguration* pixFEDSupConfPtr, SOAPCommander* soapCmdrPtr) const{
+    ......
+    if (calibName=="MyCalib") {
+      return new PixelFEDMyCalibration(*pixFEDSupConfPtr, soapCmdrPtr);
+    }
+    ......
+  }
+) create your calibration classes: PixelMyCalibration and PixelFEDMyCalibration (follow for instance PixelTBMDelayCalibration and PixelFEDTBMDelayCalibration classes)
+) add the new calibration to the file **config/aliases.txt**
+  ...
+  Gain99By3        19 ;
+  GainBy3          20 ;
+  Iana             21 ;
+  ROCDelay         22 ;
+  ReadbackCalibration 23 ;
+  Vdig 24 ;
+  MyCalibration 25 ;
+) add the calibration key to the file **config/configurations.txt**
+  ...
+  key 25
+  detconfig   0
+  nametranslation   0
+  fedconfig   0
+  fecconfig   0
+  fedcard   0
+  dac   0
+  maxvsf   0
+  mask   0
+  trim   0
+  calib   25
+  tbm   0
+  portcard   0
+  portcardmap   0
+  ttcciconfig   0
+  ltcconfig   0
+  tkfecconfig   0
+  lowvoltagemap   0
+) edit the calib.dat file with the input parameters of the new calibration (ex: what to scan, scan range, etc..). For the example above the file should stay under **config/calib/25/calib.dat**
+===== Calibration sequence =====
+  * The calibration sequence is described in [[https://indico.cern.ch/event/560056/contributions/2292179/attachments/1330727/1999885/phase1-calibrations.pdf|this]] presentation.
+  * The calibrations parameters can be found in the corresponding calib.dat file in the config/calib directory (check the config/aliases.txt file to know which subfolder you should look at)
+  * A detector configuration for switch 0 and switch 1 of the fitel receiver to use for testing calibrations can be found in [[https://elog.physik.uzh.ch:8080/Pixel/168|this elog entry]]
