Halldtrg5 is equipped with CODA 2.6.1, which is written entirely in C, C++, and the Tcl scripting language. It also incorporates MSQL databases, which are used to configure particular run control setups. This is described in detail [[Creating/Editing mSQL Databases for CODA|here]].

The central component of CODA is RunControl. RunControl consists of two components: a GUI called runcontrol, written in C++, which is activated with the command "rcgui", and a server called rcServer. The procedure for preparing an executing a data run is described in detail [[Procedure for Operation of CODA Run Control|here]].

My work with CODA primarily consisted of familiarizing myself with its construction/operation, which necessitated learning a lot about C++. I had little programming experience at the start of the semester (other than working a lot with Mathematica, and some tinkering in Python), so this took up a lot of time. The lack of documentation about this version of CODA also led to several setbacks (the latest version for which I was able to locate a User's Manual was 1.4).

The lack of documentation about this version of CODA also led to several setbacks (the latest version for which I was able to locate a User's Manual was 1.4).
The basic setup for which halldtrg5 was configured included a read-out controller (ROC) and an event builder (EB). I wrote short scripts to activate both of these components before starting the RunControl GUI. It was also necessary to start the AFECS platform and the mSQL daemon before starting the RC GUI. The first is the basic framework on which CODA operates, the second allows CODA to use mSQL databases, which are integral to its operation. The AFECS platform is initialized on halldtrg5 with the command "platform", while the scripts for the ROC and EB are "\home\halld\start_roc" and "\home\halld\start_event_builder", respectively.
