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.

14.00 MACB settings (from left -> right)

           MACB#1 is grandparent in tree

           #2 and #3 are parents

           Rest are children.

14.05 MACBs 1 and 3 (master) replaced with spares. No change, clocks remain not locked.

10.40 .msf spectra saved /MIDAS/SpecData/AIDA

13.30 Swapped MACB module #1 - no change (root module)
      Swapped MACB module #2 - no change
      Swapped MACB module #3 - no change (nnaida5 attached to port 1 of this MACB)

      Note cabling not changed during above tests

15.20 Swap nnaida5 & nnaida6 FEE module for nnaida31 & nnaida32 and update startup.tcl and dhcpd.conf

I suggest you check the hdmi hasn't been disturbed in the Macb or the FEE64.. Since the others are ok. I suggest it is the cable from the 
Macb 
to the FEE64 #5. If this fails to correct then please send a screen shot of the Local Controls status for nnaida5. 

Throughout day:
      DSSD2 (3058-25) would not bias, either short circuit or suspiciously low leakage current.
      Carried out some test in situ which were inconclusive.
      Removed snout and took DSSD2 out.
      Measuring the resistance across the two pins providing the n+n bias yielded 20 Ohms.
      For the p+n the same measurement saw an open circuit => at least one of the bond wires broken.

      DSSD1 (3131-9) was moved into the DSSD2 position and DSSD1 is now BB18-1000 3058-4.

      All detectors were biased downstairs and all looked fine - leakage currents of 3.1 - 3.8 uA.

      First detector sits 54.5cm from Al base plate and 10cm from the upstream end of the snout.
      9mm between each of the DSSDs.

      Stack now:
           |   3058-4
        b  |   3131-9
        e  |   2998-23
        a  |   3058-5
        m  |   3058-6
           V   3058-7

      207Bi source installed at end of snout.

      Snout moved upstairs and mounted.
      DSSD2 would not bias. This was due to the HV cable providing bias for this DSSD having a short to ground.
      Replaced with HV cable 7 and biased successfully.
      All DSSDs now bias. Screenshots of leakage currents attached (attachments 4+5) at room temp 25.3oC.
      Caen module Addr 00 provides bias to DSSDs 1, 2, 3 and 4 via channels 0, 1, 2 and 3 respectively.
      Module Addr 01 provides bias to DSSDs 5 and 6 on channels 0 and 1, respectively.
 
      Snout pushed in to EURICA.

########### The reason being that it is not the solution to this problem. When the X will not stay it seems to be because the FEE64 cannot open a 
connection to the Server. -------- Entry 230 was to help when the rates in the fastest  part of the system caused one of the FEE64 to be blocked for 
control access  while waiting for the slowest to produce data. Judging by the next entry in this diary I think this is now understood but .... 'belt and 
braces' seems a good idea ;-)

I've not seen the 'H' disappear but it could similarly mean that the enabling of Histogramming is failing. Perhaps check the Options settings for this 
FEE64 to see that the Histogram quantity and size parameters are the same as another FEE64.

14.30 DSSSD stack moved upstream to position DSSSD#3 at centre of EURICA.

      Initial tests of detector bias with DSSSD #1-6 were Ok. Unfortunately we were unable to bias
      DSSSD #7 obtaining either open or short circuit depending on which of the two p+n junction 
      side and n+n ohmic side detector bias bus lines we connected to.

      Demonstrated that short circuit was upstream, of AIDA adaptor PCB by disconnecting Kapton
      LH couplers.

      Remove DSSSD stack and replace DSSSD #7. In progress.
