			==Trouble Shooting==
			If it is difficult to establish communication with the board/alpides the following error message may be displayed when running a text:
			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
			$ File "registertest.py", line 276, in <module>
			register_test(args['--board'], args['--tctype'], args['--chips'])
			File "registertest.py", line 48, in register_test
			board = BoardPTB()
			File "../bsp/board_ptb.py", line 43, in __init__
			super(BoardPTB, self).__init__(interface=MainSocket(49153, "192.168.1.10", "SOCK_STREAM"))
			File "../bsp/mainsocket.py", line 29, in __init__
			self.open_socket(socket_type)
			File "../bsp/mainsocket.py", line 55, in open_socket
			self.sock.connect((self.addr, self.port))
			KeyboardInterrupt

			</syntaxhighlight>

			Make sure that the necessary ports are open, this can be checked by the following command:

			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

			$ sudo iptables -L

			</syntaxhighlight>

			If you need to open a port, this can be done with the following command.

			<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">

			$ sudo iptables -I INPUT -p udp --sport portnumber -j ACCEPT

			</syntaxhighlight>

			For the VCU118 board, udp is used in communication. For the PTB tcp is used. You also need to specify if the port is source or destination. This is the --sport/--dport argument.

Created page with "Main Page -> Control & Readout Software Documentation and Howto's -> Running Test Software This is a guide for how to install and run the test software. == Softw..."

New page

[[Main Page]] -> [[Control & Readout Software Documentation and Howto's]] -> [[Running Test Software]]

This is a guide for how to install and run the test software.

== Software Function ==
The test software consists of multiple tests which aims to provide a classification of the ALPIDE chip and scripts needed to run the ALPIDE in a beam environment.

==Install==

Requires devtoolset-7 or higher, gcc 7.3 or higher.

The software requires installation of the pct-online software.

It also requires a working version of rootpy, the installation guide can be accessed at http://www.rootpy.org/install.html

Make sure you have installed all other requirements: https://wiki.uib.no/pct/img_auth.php/d/d5/Requirements.pdf

You need access to the project at https://git.app.uib.no/pct

Using a terminal in the location where you want to install the Test software:

<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
$ git clone git@git.app.uib.no:pct/production_tests.git

$ cd production_tests

$ git checkout v2.0

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
</syntaxhighlight>

You should now be able to use the test software.

==Usage==
The How to and usage for individual tests are listed in their dedicated pages linked below:

== Tests ==

*[[Digital Scan | Digital Scan]]
*[[Threshold Scan | Threshold Scan]]
*[[DTU Scans | DTU Scans]]
