Overview
Basic configuration
To setup an array for the first time, be sure to set the following parameters:
Parameter types
System parameters
array_id
A string identifying the array. Unless you have multiple array setups that require different configuration files, use "default".
Array description parameters
hardware_rc
A list of 4 integers (boolean), identifying the presence (in the MCE) of each readout card. e.g. for RC1 and RC2 use:
hardware_rc = [1,1,0,0];
hardware_sync
An integer (boolean) identifying the presence of a sync box. This doesn't actually do anything -- use #config_sync to enable or disable the MCE's use of a connected syncbox.
hardware_rect
An integer (boolean) identifying the use of "rectangle mode" firmware on the MCE. Firmware revisions from v5.0.0 are "rectangle mode". The RC and CC configuration steps change substantially between non-rectangle and rectangle mode firmware so it is critical to set this flag correctly.
