Requirements

This tool requires users to have >= python3.7 with the following packages installed:

  • numpy
  • tabulate

Check the local python version with python -V. If the local python version is lower than Python 3.7, set up a virtual python environment following the instructions here.

In addition, users shall install YARR and prepare external scripts for remote control of power supply, multimeter and NTC readout. The external scripts shall follow a fixed format, which is detailed in the later section.

Installation

This package may be accessed by cloning from gitlab or by installing it via pip.

via clone

Use this method if you want to use the latest version of the package from gitlab. First clone the project:

git clone https://gitlab.cern.ch/atlas-itk/pixel/module/module-qc-tools.git

Upon a successful checkout, cd to the new module-qc-tools directory and run the following to install the necessary software:

$ python -m venv venv
$ source venv/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
$ python -m pip install -e .

via pip

Use this method if you want to use the latest stable (versioned) release of the package.

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install -U pip
python -m pip install -U pip module-qc-tools==1.3.1

Usage

After installation, one just needs to enter the virtual environment in each new session to use the scripts:

source venv/bin/activate

The first step in using this package is to set up the Configuration and external commands input json file. This json file is then passed as input to the scripts used to run the Measurements.

Configuration and external commands

All the configuration/settings are defined in a single json file. Examples are provided in `$(module-qc-tools --prefix)/configs/':

example_merged_vmux_L0.json --> Layer 0
example_merged_vmux_L1.json --> Layer 1
example_merged_vmux_L2.json --> Layer 2

Please choose the correct layer so that the measurements are performed properly. This is especially important for the SLDO test.

The major blocks (e.g. yarr, power_supply, multimeter, ntc) correspond to how the scripts will communicate with the module via YARR and how they will communicate with the lab equipment. Each of these blocks are explained in the following sections. The task block specifies the settings of each scan performed by the scripts, and will be explained in the Measurements section.

yarr

The yarr block specifies the path to the YARR repository as well as the corresponding YARR configuration files.

  • run_dir: path (relative or absolute) to the directory where YARR commands should be run
  • controller: path (relative to run_dir or absolute) to the controller file
  • scanConsole_exe": path (relative to run_dir or absolute) to the scanConsole executable
  • write_register_exe": path (relative to run_dir or absolute) to the write_register executable
  • read_adc_exe": path (relative to run_dir or absolute) to the read_adc executable

power_supply

The power_supply block specifies the path and the commands for handling the power supply

  • run_dir: path (relative or absolute) to the directory where power_supply commands should be run
  • on_cmd: command to turn on the power supply with specified voltage and current. Use the syntax {v} and {i} to represent the voltage and current that are to be given as input arguments
  • off_cmd: command to turn off the power supply
  • set_cmd: command to set voltage and current for power supply. Use the syntax {v} and {i} to represent the voltage and current that are to be given as input arguments
  • getI_cmd: command to measure current of the power supply. This command shall return a std output which represents the value of the current (float in the unit of [A]). For example, when I = 5.2A, getI_cmd returns std output = 5.2.
  • getV_cmd: command to measure voltage of the power supply. This command shall return a std output which represents the value of the voltage (float in the unit of [V]). For example, when V = 1.8A, getV_cmd returns std output = 1.8.
  • n_try: number of re-tries in case the script fails to read from the power supply

multimeter

The multimeter block specifies the path and the commands for handling the multimeter

  • run_dir: path (relative or absolute) to the directory where multimeter commands should be run
  • dcv_cmd: list of commands to measure voltage from the multimeter. Each command corresponds to a single multimeter channel (only the used channels need to be listed). Each command returns a std output which represents the value of measured voltage (float in the unit of [V]). For example, when V = 0.352V, dcv_cmd returns std output = 0.352.
  • n_try: number of re-tries in case the script fails to read from the multimeter

ntc

The ntc block specifies the path and the commands for handling the NTC

  • run_dir: path (relative or absolute) to the directory where ntc commands should be run
  • cmd: command to measure temperature from the module NTC. The command returns a std output which represents the value of measured temperature (float in the unit of [C]). For example: when T = 36.2C, cmd returns std output = 36.2.
  • n_try: number of re-tries in case the script fails to read from the ntc

Measurements

An overview of the steps in the module QC procedure is documented in the Electrical specification and QC procedures for ITkPixV1.1 modules document and in this spreadsheet. Each measurement is performed with one script. All scripts assume that the modules to be tested are already powered on.

ADC calibration

  • i_config: the current at which the module should be configured
  • MonitorV: list of Vmux channels to be measured
  • InjVcalRange: the range of the calibration injection circuit(1: a large range and 0: a small range i.e. half the large range but a finer step)
  • Range: the DACs scan range ["start", "stop", "step"]
  • share_vmux: whether to merge the Vmux channels or not
  • v_mux_channels: multimeter channel to measure the Vmux for each chip (correspond to each element in the dcv_cmd in the multimeter block)

Output data

The output of the measurements follows the structure below:

|** Measurements |** <test_type> |** VCAL_CALIB |** <timestamp> |\_\_
<chip_name/module_serial_number>.json

The test-type of each measuremnt is the corresponding test-code used in the Production Data Base. The naming iof each measuremnet script is chosen to be the same as the test-type. The timestamp is chosen to be the start time of the measurement.

Schema check

The schema for the output json files is checked based on the schema files specified in the folder schema. To run the common schema check for all test outputs, do:

jsonschema --instance [path to output json files] $(module-qc-tools
--prefix)/schema/common.json

To run the further schema check for a specific test output, do:

jsonschema --instance [path to output json files] $(module-qc-tools
--prefix)/schema/[qc_task].json
Example (with the emulator output files)
jsonschema --instance emulator/outputs/SLDO_reference/<timestamp>/chip1.json
$(module-qc-tools --prefix)/schema/common.json jsonschema --instance
emulator/outputs/SLDO_reference/<timestamp>/chip1.json $(module-qc-tools
--prefix)/schema/SLDO.json

Upload results to localDB

The output measurement files can be uploaded to localDB using the following command:

 module-qc-tools-upload --path PATH --host HOST --port PORT

Given a path to a directory with the output files, the script will recursively search the directory and upload all files with the .json extension. Supply the option --dry-run to see which files the script finds without uploading to localDB.

Help message
$ module-qc-tools-upload -h
usage: module-qc-tools-upload [-h] [--path PATH] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [-n]

Walk through the specified directory (recursively) and attempt to submit all json files to LocalDB as the QC measurement

optional arguments:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  --path PATH    Path to directory with output measurement files
  --host HOST    localDB server
  --port PORT    localDB port
  -n, --dry-run  Dry-run, do not submit to localDB.

For Developer

versioning

In case you need to tag the version of the code, you need to have either hatch or pipx installed.

  1. Activate python environment, e.g. source venv/bin/activate.
  2. Run python -m pip install hatch or python -m pip install pipx.

You can bump the version via:

pipx run hatch run tag x.y.z

# or

hatch run tag x.y.z

where x.y.z is the new version to use. This should be run from the default branch (main / master) as this will create a commit and tag, and push for you. So make sure you have the ability to push directly to the default branch.

pre-commit

Install pre-commit to avoid CI failure. Once pre-commit is installed, a git hook script will be run to identify simple issues before submission to code review.

Instruction for installing pre-commit in a python environment:

  1. Activate python environment, e.g. source venv/bin/activate.
  2. Run python3 -m pip install pre-commit.
  3. Run pre-commit install to install the hooks in .pre-commit-config.yaml.

After installing pre-commit, .pre-commit-config.yaml will be run every time git commit is done. Redo git add and git commit, if the pre-commit script changes any files.
