Name

MFCmngr2 - multifaraday cup with slit position manager

Synopsis

MFCmngr2 <argument list>

Description

This program manages the position of the cups and a movable slit in a multicup faraday cup assembly. It is supposed to prevent cup2 and cup3 from running into each other.

Arguments

Arguments are processed using Unix long argument syntax.
--mngr <fn>

The CONFLIST file from which to obtain the configuration information.

If this is not specified it defaults to "MNGRconf" in the current working directory (i.e. the directory where the program was started).

--mngr_pn <fn>

The program name to use when parsing the CONFLIST file.

If this argument is not specified it generally defaults to the program name.

--show_tbl

If this argument is present the contents of the CONFLIST table is printed to stderr
--diag

If this argument is present stdout and stdin are left open and the program may be killed by SIGINT.

This argument is useful when setting up the parameters for the PID loop(s) because it makes it very easy to kill and restart the program after changing the config file.

--verbose=<n>

Normally the program does it’s work silently. This sets the level of logging information. The number is optional but if provided it must include the "=". If no argument is provided the default level is 1.
0 - work silently
1 - print signon msg, option settings

Configuration name usage

The configuration file uses the libmngr(3mngr) facility to connect internal parameters to the AccelNET database. The mappings for this program are given below.

Parameters needed by this program can be combined with parameters belonging to other programs. The "program name" field in the configuration file differentiates the entries.

MFCmngr2 uses "MFCmngr2" as the program name when searching the file.

Two groups are supported.
