Recovered AIDA after power cycle (unknown cause of crash from the end of R10)
Corresponding run in BRIKEN: 161109_0814_747576Ni_012
Run condition for Takechi has changed since our crash
F5 empty; F7 CH2; F11 carbon
At the beginning of our run, we had all Aluminium degraders in (1 mm was added back after our crash for safety)
We finally removed all but 1 mm Al on the variable degrader

Put the variable Al degraders all back in for safety (was 4.4 mm, now 5.4 mm)
Takechi team switches the condition: F5 empty; F7 CH2; F11 empty
7:00 Reset Run Control, run Setup, everything looks good. Start the run
Data rate around 10 MB/s
7:04 Checking the online data rate with MIDAS, the event rate is nearly zero...but it comes back (presume Takechi team was playing with the beam condition)
Events come back...
F11 Plastic rate is 1.2kHz
Here is a sample of the offline analysis of event rates with all Al degraders in:

Follow along with https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/303 to fix it. This looks good and the merger seems to come back successfully.

DK, TD, CG, OH | NP1412 Run 1 |
AIDA run with Takechi experiment. 71~73 Ni beam setting
F5 carbon target is: IN
F7 CH2 target is: OUT
F11 carbon target is: OUT
All variable Al degraders at F11 are OUT
When the run started, we had 1mm Al degrader in (count rate of AIDA was near the background rate)
Then we took out the final 1mm Al degrader, and we started to get counts on AIDA (600 Hz on detectors 1, 2, 3, very little on 4, 5, 6)
Run file: NP1412/R1
ASIC parameter file: 2016Nov07-23.03.06
5 mm thick Al stopper is at the center of BRIKEN, with AIDA slightly behind it
Run start: 8/11/2016 22:00
Leak currents (4 to 5 uA each) shown as Attachment #1
22:30 All degraders removed at end of run Run Stop time 22:30 |

OH, TD | FEE Settings and Options files |
Used a program to sort through the settings files located in /MIDAS/DB/EXPERIMENTS/AIDA/Settings_FIle_Name/nnaider1,2,3... and /MIDAS/DB/EXPERIMENTS/AIDA/Options.
By comparing the parameter values we got from this to the value we know they should be set to we found some discrepancies in FEEs 1 and 3-8 with values being set
to 0xd rather than the value to which they should have been saved to. This was corrected and new settings and options files were created. Last night we saw that
the DAQ is able to load these files correctly and that the values remain as they should be.
An excel sheet is attached which makes it easy to compare the values parsed by the code to the default values. To do this it is best to sort the data by FEE, then
type, then type number then parameter value number using the sort function on the data tab. After copying this data into the new settings sheet it will flag any
values that do not match the default values in red. |

11.10 DAQ found stopped. No storage mode so can't tell when, but presumably at 06.30 during LN2 fill cycle.
Unable to regain control of (see errors after merger restart in attachment 1) system so power cycling FEEs.
11.15 Bias voltages @ ambient temp 25.5oC before DSSD noise investigation (attachment 2+3).
11.40 NB+DK attempting shielding of LN2 solenoid.
Manual fill initiated. DAQ still stopped at 11.41.
Unable to regain control of system. Power cycle FEEs while DK+NB install more shielding.
2:55 Made attempts to solve the noise issue that was plaguing DSSD1.
Attempts at checking the cabling, making sure the detectors were light sealed and switching the bias cables
around were unsuccessful.
A blue cable was found to be laying across the snout of AIDA that runs as a temperature probe for one of the
clover detectors.
Moving this cable appears to have solved this issue (Has been locked in position). See pulser spectrum in
