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.

  189   Thu Apr 28 07:42:11 2016 TD[How To] Change the AIDA Acquisition Server Configuration
Edit the file /MIDAS/config/TclHttpd/aidas1/startup.tcl and change the definition of variables
PACQSERVERS, NACQSERVERS, ACQSERVERS (respectively p+n junction strip FEE64s, n+n ohmic strip
FEE64s, and all FEE64s) for example,
     
    variable PACQSERVERS; set PACQSERVERS { nnaida5 nnaida6 nnaida9 nnaida10}
    variable NACQSERVERS; set NACQSERVERS { nnaida3 nnaida4 nnaida7 nnaida8}
    
    lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida3
    lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida4
    lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida5
    lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida6
    lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida7
    lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida8

You will need to close the web browser running MIDAS, restart the 'Httpd for Acquisition' server,
restart the web browser and start the MIDAS DAQ session.

On the 'Run Control' page, toggle 'Act on ALL Data Acquisition Servers' and select 'Reload' - the
revised acquisition server list should now be shown.

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

and selecting device from the menu of Storage Devices.
  186   Tue Apr 26 06:13:00 2016 TDaidas1: 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.

  183   Thu Apr 14 13:56:17 2016 PJCSUpdating the FEE64 firmware.

To update the FEE64 firmware:-

  1. Power-up the FEE64 modules that you wish to update.
  2. Identify the file to be used ( FEE_GF_Feb16_15.bin  at 14/4/2016 )
  3. This file should be in the Server ( e.g. aidas1 ) at /MIDAS/Aida.
  4. 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.
  5. To run the file, and hence update the firmware, open the RunControl page and select "Program Flash Memories" from the menu of System Functions.
  6. 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.
  7. Once complete a log window will be displayed with a report about each FEE64.
  8. Power-cycle the FEE64s to load and run the new firmware.
  9. 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 )
