 Thu Nov 12 18:28:41 2015, CG, TD, 12 Nov 2015 - new Kapton cable tests at DL 23x
|
This morning PC-S changed firmware and DAQ software to that of the RIKEN setup
Firmware version /MIDAS/AIDA/FEE_Riken_Apr14_26.bin
DAQ software has been changed from AidaExecV8 to AidaExecV7 |

Wed Nov 11 17:36:19 2015, CG, TD, 11 Nov 2015 - new Kapton cable tests at DL 18x
|
Upon starting system with nothing connected beyond adapter PCBs, observed pulser peak FWHM of ~12-15ch in nnaida13+14 and ~15-18ch in nnaida11+12
All newly shielded new kapton cables passed continuity tests between drain wire and Cu tape.
Throughout all tests, grounded cable has been connected to nnaida13. All other nnaida have ground isolated cables. |

|
The attached plots show the time-stamp data in the EURICA files with PID information (EventInfo.timestamp). The
timestamp value should correspond to the correlation scaler included as info_code==8 in AIDA.

I have installed Version 8 of the AidaExec program and FEE_GF_Feb15_6.bin for the VHDL on the system in T9.
On the whole the new firmware operates successfully.
I am now pursuing a few niggles. |

Mon May 4 02:32:29 2015, VFEP & TD, How to fix DAQ stalls at GO
|
It has been observed that when starting the AIDA data acquisition (select 'GO' from the 'Data Acquisition Run
Control' window) that from time to time one, or possibly more, FEE64 modules fail to begin producing data.
Once running they appear to be totally reliable.
