Integrating your scaler readout with the readout

Integrating your scaler readout with the readout

Now that we have a scaler readout class (CMyScaler), we must:

• Register an object of type CMyScaler with the framework. Note that if we had multiple scalers, we could just create several instances of the scaler class and register them all.
• Ensure that CMyScaler is compiled and linked into our tailored readout software.

To register an object of type CMyScaler, two addtions must be made to Skeleton.cpp

First locate the includes in Skeleton.cpp adn add an include for the CMyScaler class header:

#include <CReadoutMain.h>
#include <CExperiment.h>
#include <CInterpreterStartup.h>
#include <CInterpreterCore.h>
#include <CRunVariableCommand.h>
#include <CRunVariable.h>
#include <CStateVariableCommand.h>
#include <CStateVariable.h>
#include <TCLInterpreter.h>
#include <CDAQTCLProcessor.h>
#include <CVMEScalerLRS1151.h>
#include <CTraditionalEventSegment.h>
#include <CTraditionalScalerReadout.h>
#include <CEventSegment.h>
#include <CMyScaler.h>         // Added.

Next locate the CMyExperiment::SetupScalers function and add a line to create and register a scaler object:

void
CMyExperiment::SetupScalers(CExperiment& rExperiment)
{
   CReadoutMain::SetupScalers(rExperiment);

   // Insert your code below this comment.

   // For test,setup an LRS 1151 at 0x200c00

   //   CScaler* pScaler = new CVMEScalerLRS1151(0xc00200);
   //   rExperiment.AddScalerModule(pScaler);

   rExperiment.AddScalerModule(new CMyScaler(0xc00200, 0)); // <-- added.

}

To ensure that CMyScaler is built and linked to Readout, add CmySaler.o to the definitions of Objects:

Objects=Skeleton.o .. CMyScaler.o
