Subject: Pulser Test Run after AIDA is moved 

Needed to run startx and start the TcLHttpd server on rpi

Following along here: https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/242

Can now access http://nnrpi1:8015/AIDA/Rly16/

Window at first connection reads:

Using /dev/ttyUSB0 firmware version 0

Using /dev/ttyUSB1 firmware version 0901

 

Looks good.  Sequence ALL On was selected

(By mistake, I then clicked Relay # to turn off...misread instructions...Switch all OFF, then sequence ALL on again)

7:51 they are turned on.  Waiting several minutes now.

Add 4 L of water to the chiller

8:12

 

Save/Control Settings from Hardware Control tab:

Selected: 2016Jun13-00.53.55 and Restore. (missing from elog 242)

 

From Run Control, Enable Histogramming, Data Transfer: Enable #1 All (missing from elog 242)

 

TapeServer / Merger / Httpd started on Workspace 2

 

TapeServer reports

Cannot issue more Access Tokens: Claim TapeServer returned:- 3 Capability table is full

Make a new directory for storing test data: /data10/TapeData/July2016

Merger: Setup and configure

Data Statistics shows about ~5 x 10^5 events in many nnaida.  Should we use a different setting file?

Now we try 2016Jun12-10.10.08

Perform ReSync

 

Probably event rate can be high because the SSD bias is off?  We set up Putty and turn on all biases to -100 V.

Attachments 1 and 2 show the bias settings after they are turned on.

 

Good Events rate improves, factor 2 to 4 (now about 100k roughly)

 

Pulser settings: around ~900 on dial, attenuator x10, x10, x2 switches down, 5x up.  Frequency ~250 Hz

 

21:19

Now we change the Control ASICs (select act on all ASICs, act on all FEEs)

Slow Comparator from 0x8 to 0x20

LEC/MEC Fast Comparator 0x4 to 0x80

Now the Good Events go down to about 10k to 25k roughly

 

TapeServer starts a run.

Merger started / paused / unpaused

 

Merger rate is 500k / sec.  TapeServer is 4 k / sec.

 

AIDA Syncs shown in Attachment 3

Temps in Attachment 4

Good Events Attachment 5

Run Number 1

Setting file: 2016Jul05-21.37.20 (Note: I wrote the wrong setting file name last night...this is the right one!)

 

Show sample pulser peak in Attachment 6, 7, 8

 

July 6 - 12:29: Stop the run.  114 run files, 2.0 GB each.

Attachments 9, 10 show biases at the end of the run
