Entry  Tue May 3 08:46:25 2016, TD, MIDAS updates - problems 8x
1) Unable to enable data transfer

   From RunControl unable to 'Enable #1 All' or 'Enable #2 All'

   in the former case, no 'X' symbol appears by the sttaus of each acqserver
   in the latter case I obtain an error

   see attachments 1-3

   Note the file referred to in the error message is

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 npg npgstaff 16503 Mar  9 22:46 DataAcquisitionControl.tml

2) Unable to plot temperature data

   See attachment 4 for error message

3) MERGE shows 64 data links - only the first 32 can be toggled (enable/disable)
   For 32x FEE64s should be able to toggle 64? Configuration file issue?

    Reply  Tue May 3 16:11:57 2016, TD, MIDAS updates - problems 100.png101.png102.png103.png
With help from Patrick Coleman-Smith & Vic Pucknell most of the issues identified
appear to be related to one (or more) of the following issues

1) The FEEs required rebooting following MIDAS updates to use AIDAExecV8 (not AIDAExecV7) - reboot FEEs
2) New settings saved to /MIDAS/DB/EXPERIMENTS/AIDA/2016May03-20.44.33
3) AIDA options still quoted AIDAExecV7 cf AIDAExecV8 - update AIDA options, use new settings directory above
4) AIDA SYNCs appear to require SYNC Phase 2 or 3 (cf. 0 or 1) - PJCS reviewing
   See attachments 1-4 respectively SYNC phases 0, 1, 2 & 3

Outstanding issues

1) Httpd Merger/TapeServer, MERGE & TapeServer issues - VFEP reviewing
   With 64 data links configured, Httpd server crashes at startup

2) mtimeout not defined following SETUP
   See Elog 200 - is this an issue?

3) Unable to plot AIDA temperatures (low priority)

Entry  Tue May 3 08:37:50 2016, TD, MIDAS updates startup.tclstartup.tcl.BAK-030516aidacommonaidacommon.BAK-030516
MIDAS updated per instructions of VFEP (I append the new and old versions of startup.tcl and aidacommon)

I have generated the AIDA update for V8 as 2 tarballs.

These are accessed using    http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/MIDAS_Release/

The files you want are the 3th and 4th

http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/MIDAS_Release/AIDAExecV8_Update240416.tgz
http://npg.dl.ac.uk/MIDAS/MIDAS_Release/AIDA_Update240416.tgz

The AIDAExecV8...    is just the data acq program
and AIDA_Update...     is all the  Html/tcl  updates

for information here are the commands I Used to create

tar -zcf  AIDA_Update240416.tgz TclHttpd/Html/AIDA TclHttpd/Html/DataAcquisitionControl TclHttpd/Html/Spectrum
TclHttpd/Html/RunControl TclHttpd/Html/MERGE TclHttpd/tcl/Common SOAP/tcl/SpectrumClient.tcl
tar -zcf  AIDAExecV8_Update240416.tgz Data_Acq/bin/linux-ppc_4xx/AidaExecV8


 JUst click on the name and  select   Save  


 to install

first move existing files which you will replace out of the way

cd /MIDAS
mv TclHttpd/Html/AIDA TclHttpd/Html/AIDA_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/DataAcquisitionControl TclHttpd/Html/DataAcquisitionControl_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/Spectrum TclHttpd/Html/Spectrum_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/RunControl  TclHttpd/Html/RunControl_BAK
mv TclHttpd/Html/MERGE TclHttpd/Html/MERGE_BAK
mv TclHttpd/tcl/Common TclHttpd/tcl/Common_BAK
mv SOAP/tcl/SpectrumClient.tcl SOAP/tcl/SpectrumClient.tcl_BAK


now install the updates
the    *********   is where you saved the tarballs to  
  possibly    ~/Downloads/



cd /MIDAS
tar -zxf *********AIDA_Update240416.tgz
tar -zxf *********AIDAExecV8_Update240416.tgz


 THis will install the updates.


I attach the  startup.tcl  file used for the TclHttpd  (/MIDAS/config/TclHttpd/aidas1/)
 The important bit is adding    set DataTransferStreams 2


and the file  (aidacommon) used for starting the data acq programs   (/MIDAS/linux-ppc_4xx/startup)
  Change V7  to V8

Entry  Thu May 5 09:52:20 2016, TD, MERGE test OK 7x
Slow comparator 0x10 -> 0x20
Fast comparator LEC/MEC 0x10 -> 0xff

To start DAQ
1) open disk file with tapeserver
2) merge
   select data links 0-31
   setup & go
   start
   toggle merge data transfer state (xfer enabled)
   toggle merge program pause state (paused)
3) enable #1 all *only*
   DAQ GO
4) statistics
   check all FEEs producing AIDA SYNC
5) merge 
   reload (several times over period of ~10s) to check all data links active (green)
   toggle merge program pause state (merging)
   reload (several times over period of ~10s) to check non-zero merged data rate
6) tapeserver
   reload to check data transfer
7) observe spinners in merger and tapeserver server terminal windows

To stop DAQ

1) DAQ STOP
2) toggle merge program pause state (paused)
3) stop disk file with tapeserver

To restart

1) open disk file with tapeserver
2) DAQ GO
5) merge 
   reload (several times over period of ~10s) to check all data links active (green)
   toggle merge program pause state (merging)
   reload (several times over period of ~10s) to check non-zero merged data rate

etc

DAQ/merge/tapeserver test OK

Entry  Mon Feb 16 12:17:21 2015, Patrick Coleman-Smith, MACB update for 50Mhz external clock macb_top_revB_16Feb15.jed

 This version of the MACB has an additional selection at 5 for a ROOT module.

This will operate the Correlation Scalar signals used for RIBF and use the External Clock signal directly for the FEE64 50MHz distribution.

This has been tested at Daresbury with and external clock source and operates successfully with the merger.

 PJCS _ reply The Master branch of the Tree needs to be set to 2 all the way to the Master.

So 

GrandParent : 0

Parents : Master Branch 2 , Others 3

Children: Master Branch 2, Others 3.

Carry out a system Reset/Setup after changing to these settings.

Then System wide checks.

 Apologies, I made a mistake in the information above.

MACB#1 is the grandparent, but #2 and #7 are the parents, with #3-6 and #8-11 the children.

The master goes through MACB#2 to the first port on #3.

So the current setup follows, and always has done, your instructions above.

Entry  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 .L histograms from 65536 to 32768 and using the shift attribute in the Options. This will reduce the memory required.

Solution 2:- Change a kernal setting in the /etc/sysctl.conf to request there is always a minimum amount of free memory. Insert the line "vm.min_free_kbytes=4096" in the file.

Solution 2 has been tried on the system in T9 while the flag enabling raw data to be written to disc is set. Previous to the solution, with the same operating conditions,  the fault would occur after about 15 minutes. Subsequent to the solution the system has run for 46 hours.

I propose that the .V histograms are disabled and the kernal setting is used. ( both solutions :-) The .V histograms are a late addition and not required at present.

Entry  Mon Apr 19 15:10:55 2021, OH TD, Less HEC events than expected in DSSD3 Capture.PNG
we are noticing we appear to see less implant events in detector 3 than we expect. This was first noticed in the xy spectra of the DSSD in the Go4 online.
As part of testing we have lowered the threshold in aida09 which from the xy appeared to have less events.

Following this we still seemed to see less events.

OH downloaded a selection of recent files to analyse. Looking at the total number of HEC events it appears that aida09, aida10 and aida12 are all seeing less HEC events than I would expect.
The ratio of HEC events in aida09 to aida11 was 0.36.

Looking at the energies of the HEC events there appeared to be less events everywhere and not just a threshold issue. We thought it could then be radiation damage and poor
charge collection. To test this we raised the bias to 120V on DSSD3.

The same test was again performed and the ratio again came out to be 0.36
We did not appear to recover any HEC events

Comparing the scaled energy distributions of aida09 and aida11 we see no evidence of a different energy response other than an increase in lower energy events in aida09 due to the lower threshold

I now think it may be a hardware issue. Will look at the last file before the most recent powercycle.

Using TD's analyser program can confirm the rate between aida09 and aida11 before 08:30 this morning was ~1:1.
The problem seems to have appeared during the power cycles following this.

Do not forget to backup the current versions of the attached files before
installing the latest versions. The latest version features the sequential 
power up of each of the eight mains relays - this will help minimise instantaneous
network loads during power/boot up.

 Hello

 Coould we have a copy of the latest USB power replay .tml file please?
 Our current version does not permit sequential power on and Patrick says
 that may be helpful when attempting to start 32 FEEs.
