Mon Aug 22 11:45:07 2016, Patrick Coleman-Smith, Software updated in Aida
|
Logged into aidas1, installed AidaExecV8 with a test of the time difference between SYNC data items. Failure to be 0x40000 clocks will cause a statistic
to be incremented. "SYNC Time Warp"
Installed updated versions of /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/AIDA/RunControl/sys.tcl and /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/AIDA/RunControl/implementation.tcl |

Wed Aug 17 14:44:52 2016, Patrick Coleman-Smith, [HowTo] start acquisition using the new "Start ASIC Readout" button
|
Due to sometimes operating with very noisy systems, both at Daresbury and RIKEN, I have installed a change to the startup of the system.
The Runcontrol GO button now only starts the output of SYNC pulses. A further button labelled "Start ASIC Readout" ( see attached photo
) needs to be pressed to start the ASIC ADC, Discriminator and Correlation readout. |

Wed Aug 17 14:10:05 2016, Patrick Coleman-Smith, Linux Memory problem solutions for FEE64
|
The problem indicated by "page allocation failure" and the kernal subsequently "killing" the AidaExecV8 process is due ( it appears
) to memory availability.
Solution 1:- Reduce the amount of memory used for histogramming. That would be by disabling the .V histograms or changing the size of the .H and/or |

The DAQ stops working and can only be fixed by a reboot of the FEE64s.

|
Logged into aidas1 and opened the nnrpi1 relay control window ... powered up the FEE64s.
seperatly connected to ribfdaq and opened a firefox to aidas1:8015.
By the time the firefox had appeared on my desktop the FEE64s had started up. |

Wed Jul 20 18:41:55 2016, DK, AIDA topped up on water
|
I actually topped off the chiller with water tonight as I am returning to Scotland (and then off to CERN) within hours.
I added 4 liters on around July 5th, to move the marker from a little under the halfway mark to over the halfway mark. After 2.x weeks, it
was still sitting a bit shy of under the halfway mark. This means that in a humid and hot Japanese month like July, AIDA doesn't evaporate more than |

An updated copy of the merger has been downloaded ( merger64.AD ) with a copy of /MIDAS/Merger/AIDA/Startup.
These two enable the output of all of the SYNC data items to the TapeServer.

Tue Jul 5 10:26:11 2016, DK, AIDA relocation pictures 6x

Here are some pictures after AIDA's relocation.
In principle, it can stay here, but probably after the tests we will push it further against the wall. However, power and ethernet cabling
cannot reach that far. |

Tue Jul 5 09:39:27 2016, DK, Rly16 is not online
|
AIDA was relocated, and now I want to power it on to do some tests. However, I cannot get the Rly16 service running.
Specifically, after powering up the entire AIDA system, on aidas1 PC, I cannot connect to the raspberry pi (nnrpi1) via a web browser
