04:50 Did some major UI updates to merger /data02/2019data/dtas/scripts/parallelscript/runall_xe19_dev.sh
If no parameters are passed, it asks to select each option one-by-one, showing available options
For DTAS, if there is only one run for a given header, it automatically selects it
After that, it checks that all the raw files actually exist
Finally, it composes the command, asks the user if it looks OK, and then launches the script (or quits)
(For experts, it can still take the original case where all 7 parameters are passed at the command line)
There may still be some minor bugs, so for now we don't replace the original one until Alvaro can check

The FEEs corresponding to DSSSD1 are all showing factors 2 to 10 higher than just 30 min. ago
F11 rates still near 180 cps, primary beam still around 130 pnA.
06:43 Before I can diagnose the high noise problem in DSSSD1, it goes back to normal
Merger - attachment 16
TapeServer - attachment 17

Maybe the issue was from looking at the details too often :)
07:46 Shift change.
DAQ continues running OK.
Statistics show noisy DSSD #1 (100-200kHz) - see attach 19
Tapeserver also shows higher than normal write to disk rate - see attach 20
After a few seconds write to disk rate goes back to normal - see attach 21
Data items rate looks OK (500k). This was checked after the rates in DSSD#1 went back to normal - see attach 22
FEE64 temperatures OK - see attach 23
Implants look OK - see attach 24
System-wide checks OK except nnaida7 fails ADC calibration as usual.

Timewarp events appear to be very frequent, consistently every 3-5 seconds.
This seems to have been happening ever since beam was put on target.
Analysed R2_94 using analyser in Desktop 3. No timewarps reported. See attach 26.
08:32 AIDA: R2_100,

08:41 Another noise spike from DSSD#1
Observed up to 1,600k data items per second - see attach 27
Write to disk ~10 MB/s as before.
See LEC xy plot - attach 28
HEC xy plot shows no hints of issues - see attach 29
Rate seems manageable - see attach 30 for analysis of noisy run R2_103.
Note few seconds deadtime in some FEE64 and unequal number of Pause/Resume in nnaida 22
09:45 Rate in DSSD#1 back to normal. Data rate 500k, Write to disk 5 Mb/s.
10:00 Started compressing R2_* files to save disk space.
Used nice gzip to compress to avoid conflicts with the DAQ.
Status of compression can be checked in ELOG desktop in the terminal window running ls -alth

Thu Apr 13 15:08:31 2017, CB, Card test
|
I tested the FWHM of a BNC PB-5 pulser signal as a function of shaping time using the first produced ISOL FEE64 card in Daresbury Labs.
Find attached four representative spectra per ASIC taken with 8, 5 and 0.5 us shaping time values. Run times are different.
Also find attached a plot of the FWHM as a function of the shaping time for the first channel in each ASIC. There appears to be a maximum of the FWHM at around 4 us. This may indicate the main source of noise is external, and at ~4 us the band pass lets most of the noise in.
Unlike the FEE cards employed in RIKEN, this card is grounded to the metal base plate through the screws. In order to investigate the effect of this ground on the noise level of the ADCs in the card, the card was disconnected from the metal plate base. An additional layer of insuating material was placed between the base and the FEE64 card. Nylon screws rather than metal screws were employed to affix the card to the base, and the same tests as before were repeated. See plot below. Overall, the same trend is recovered but suprisingly the FWHM is larger than before for ASICs #1,2 and #3. ASIC #4 has a lower FWHM than before. The reason for the change is not obvious, and may need further investigation.
