TD | MIDAS updates | 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

Detector bias cable to nnaida3 & 5 adaptor PCBs *but* LK1 fitted to nnaida9 *not* nnaida5.
This has been set this way since start of current series of tests Wed 27 April. Connecting
via a different adaptor PCB to that connected to the CAEN N1419 bias supply causes significant
noise issues presumably due to high resistance path via 2x adaptor PCB to DSSSD cables
and the DSSSD bias bus line on the DSSSD.

2 (of 3) WD 3Tb ATA disk drives are not currently mounted on aidas1.
Attempted to mount them but found device names changed at each boot.
See https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/186
Mounted Seagate Backup Plus 8Tb USB disk drive - currently /dev/sda2 mounted
as /ntfs
See https://elog.ph.ed.ac.uk/AIDA/187
Started Raspberry Pi nnrpi1 - USB controlled ac mains relay OK
Startup AIDA and test with pulser and no external load.
Typical pulser peak widths ~12-14 ch FWHM as expected. |

TD | Seagate Backup Plus 8Tb USB disk installed | I have installed a Seagate Backup Plus 8Tb (nominal) USB disk for data backup and
transfer to the UK
As superuser
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /ntfs

The device name will probably wander at each boot but can be obtained by using
Applications -> System Utilities -> Disk Utility
and selecting device from the menu of Storage Devices. |

TD | aidas1: updated /etc/fstab file |
The aidas1 /etc/fstab file contained commented out entries for 2 (of 3) WD 3Tb disks
(slot # 3, 4 & 5). The entries are also incorrect - /dev/sdg1 does not exist and
/dev/sdc1 is already used by the OS. This file was most recently changed 8 June 2015.
*** Added note ***
The device list (/dev/sda etc) changes at each boot - at a subsequent reboot the
WD 3Tb disks moved from /dev/sdb, e & f to /dev/sdc, f & g.

PJCS | Updating the FEE64 firmware. | To update the FEE64 firmware:-
- Power-up the FEE64 modules that you wish to update.
- Identify the file to be used ( FEE_GF_Feb16_15.bin at 14/4/2016 )
- This file should be in the Server ( e.g. aidas1 ) at /MIDAS/Aida.
- Edit the file /MIDAS/Aida/FlashPgm.csh and change the file name at the "flashcp" command line to be the file you wish to update the FEE64s with.
- To run the file, and hence update the firmware, open the RunControl page and select "Program Flash Memories" from the menu of System Functions.
- Each of the FEE64 cards in the system at the time will update their firmware using the commands from the /MIDAS/Aida/FlashPgm.csh file.
- Once complete a log window will be displayed with a report about each FEE64.
- Power-cycle the FEE64s to load and run the new firmware.
- Use the "FEE Temperatures" page to check that all the FEE64 cards have the same version of the firmware loaded as expected. ( 0x10300C12 at 14/4/2016 )
