The program for online monitoring the correlation of the DAQ systems (AIDA-EURICA-BigRIPS) through a common scaler is SyncCheck (J.

Fri May 13 13:27:50 2016, patrick Coleman-Smith, Power supply changes and blowing fuses !
|
Reading about the power supply changes and the requirement to replace fuses leads me to be concerned.
I think the power being changed is the AC input to the FEE64 power supplies.
Which Fuses are failing ? |

Fri May 13 13:24:42 2016, Patrick Coleman-Smith, An idea that might help when everything grinds to a halt
|
When using the T9 system and running with too much rate in one FEE64 so the system is unbalanced.
I found a good way to understand this and to be able to operate the controls of the FEE64s was to place the Merger in "Pause" mode.
Then the data is extracted from the busy FEE64 but it can still be controlled. |

11 am: Changed configuration of power source for AIDA PSU (see paper logbook). Now both cables with power for
USB relay are connected to the 'C' unit of the F11 power supply. They use different socket pads, and share them
with power cables for raspberry pi and NIM crates. Situation intermediate to what we have on Tuesday.

Continued work on beta-trigger for EURICA. However the system seems to have different noise condition than before, which
we think appeared after we changed power source for FEE's PSU (https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/220). This is high frequency
noise of low amplitude, with a period of 10 usec.

Thu May 12 15:50:48 2016, Patrick, System Checks and firmware update
|
Added two checks to the System wide checks.
Modified the Firmware so the checks work properly.
One check reads the status of the FEE64 clocks and checks
against expected value.
The other check reads the value from all the FEE64 Sync Error Counters, pauses for one second, then reads them again and compares
with the first reading. Any change is reported as an error.
The Sync Error counter is incremented if the SYNC pulse arrives at a FEE64 when the Timestamp |

Please note that the Force Trigger and Reset buttons in the Correlation Browser only have meaning if the FEE64
selected is the Master. |

*2:30 pm*: changed power source of USB-controlled power supply for FEEs. Now one of the power cables is connected
to the 'B' power supply of F11, and the second to the 'C' power supply (these are in the unit on top of WASBI
crates). The reason for change is that before both were connected to 'C', and drained current was very close to

Wed May 11 05:49:51 2016, AE, VHDL update to FEE_GF_Feb16_16
|
The firmware of all FEEs was updated to the version in FEE_GF_Feb16_16.bin (https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/215).
This provides a 25 MHz clock output from MACB, plus a manual reset request signal.

Mon May 9 16:46:30 2016, Patrick, Update for FEE64 VHDL and Correlation browser windows
|
The attached VHDL file should be saved to /MIDAS/Aida and the FlashPgm.csh file edited to load "FEE_GF_Feb16_16.bin"
Use the Run Control Expert command
to update the firmware on all the FEE64s.
Power cycle the FEE64s.
This will give a 25Mhz clock from the MACB Fast NIM output 0.
The attached .js
and .tml files will change the Control browser window to allow access to a Correlation control window.
I have already installed the Correlation directory |
