Micro SD cards used by the raspberry pis are cheap but prone to failing

If the system won't boot and the SD card is read only it may have failed. Best way is to buy a new micro SD card (16 or 32GB) and restore a backup

I have uploaded an image of nnrpi2 (AIDA@GSI) to aida-3 (/home/npg/nnrpi2.img)

To backup an SD card

dd if=/dev/mmcblk0 of=nnrpi2.img status=progress

To restore a backup to a new SD card

dd if=nnrpi2.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 status=progress

(/dev/mmcblk0 name may differ on different machines, is for a laptop with built in SD card reader)

The three attachments show the orientation of the console cable pcb relative to the FEE64 connectors.

The first with the other cables and the other two with no cables for clarity of position.

The operating proceedure for the Raspberry Pi FEE64 console monitor is attached.

Please let me know if more detail is required.

If there are more than one failures then check how they map to the MACB HDMI connections.
 Are they all connected to the just one MACB ? => Check the HDMI cable at the MACB Layer Port.
 Are they all connected to several MACBs which have a common "Parent" ? => Check the HDMI cable at the "Parent"
MACB Layer Port.

If there is just one failure then open the Local Controls browser window for the failing FEE64.
If the "Status Register" @1 is not 0x7 then the Waveform ADCs will not operate correctly and ASIC readout will
be compromised.
To remedy try 
A)    Enter 0x2B to "LMK03200 control register" @5 
          then Reload the Page 
          then Enter 0xB
          then Reload the Page and check the status, if 0x7 all ok. 

B)     Enter 0xA to "LMK03200 control register" @5 
          then Reload the Page
          then Enter 0xB
          then Reload the Page
          then enter 0x2B to "LMK03200 control register" @5 
          then Reload the Page 
          then Enter 0xB
          then Reload the Page and check the status, if 0x7 all ok.  

The USB controlled power Relays are near their AC fuse operating limit which has caused some Fuse failures.
To reduce the power consumption of each FEE64 it is possible to power down the Waveforms ADCs saving about 20W per FEE64. 

To Powerdown the ADCs in a FEE64 use the 'Local Data' browser window from the 'Control' browser window. Change the setting of the ADC Control 
Register at offset 2 from 0 to 0xFF. All the FEE64s can be thus controlled by using the 'Act on all' tick box.
Clearly, the System Check for ADC calibration will now fail for all those that are powered down.

To Power up the ADCs change the setting from 0xFF to 0. Then using the FADC Calibration browser window calibrate the FADCs. 

The SYSTEM should be in the 'STOP' state during these procedures.

Should the SYSTEM be power cycled then the ADCs will be powered up.

Saving at the 16A AC fuse is estimated to be 3A as there are 16 FEE64 being powered through each.

Attached is the specification for the MACB with the settings currently available.

The attached firmware file, FEE_GF_Feb16_18.bin, should be saved to /MIDAS/Aida and the FlashPgm.csh file edited
to load "FEE_GF_Feb16_18.bin"

Use the Run Control Expert command to update the firmware on all the FEE64s.

Power cycle the FEE64s to load the new firmware.

Make a backup copy of the files in the directory /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/AIDA/DISC.

Unzip the files from DISC_25May16.zip and copy them into /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/AIDA/DISC to replace the existing
ones.

Make a backup copy of the file /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/AIDA/LOCAL.tml

Unzip the file from LOCAL_tml_25May16.zip and copy into /MIDAS/TclHttpd/Html/AIDA/LOCAL to replace the existing
file.

'RESET' and browser refresh the two updated control windows to load the new software.
-----------------------------------------------------

To use the Multiplicity Trigger:-
In the Local Controls select option 5 for the Trigger.

In the Discriminator window.

Set the 'Upper Limit'
Set the 'Lower Limit' ( always greater than 0 ..... or the Trigger will always be present )
Set the 'Time window'. The number of 10nS clocks. So 4 => 40nS. Register is 0 to 255.

-----------------------------------------------------

These registers are not in the Save/Restore set yet.

Tested on the T9 system using the pulser and setting/clearing Mask bits.

Please let me know how this works for you.

Done. Awaiting test. See attachments 1-2.

Due to sometimes operating with very noisy systems, both at Daresbury and RIKEN, I have installed a change to the startup of the system.

The Runcontrol GO button now only starts the output of SYNC pulses. A further button labelled "Start ASIC Readout" ( see attached photo ) needs to be pressed to start the ASIC ADC, Discriminator and Correlation readout.

After carrying out the normal operations to start the system and pressing the GO button the Merger can be checked to be certain it is merging the events. Since there are only SYNC pulses it should soon be apparent if this is not happening and appropriate actions can be taken. ( Kill/Reload the Link and Merger processes using the "Merger for AIDA" icon at the top of the screen is one way. )

Once it is certain the merging is in progress then the new button labelled "Start ASIC Readout" ( see attached photo ) needs to be pressed to start the ASIC ADC, Discriminator and Correlation readout.

This must be done after every GO.

Options and system cosnole disagree about which version of the DataAcq program is in use?

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.

Performed pulser measurements with test setup at Daresbury lab, with main purpose of remembering how to operate the system! The status is similar to what Chris observed in Elog entry #14. Confirmed ASIC settings as in entry#4 of elog.

 

 

 

We want to reduce the configuration of the setup to 4 FEE cards (8 NNAIDA modules), so we only have to isolate 4 of them from the cooling crate for a noise test. Following instructions in April2015 test logbook.

Copied directory /MIDAS@aidas to /MIDAS@aidas.121215

In /MIDAS@aidas/config/TclHttpd/aidas1@8015 edit file:
-rw-rw-r--. 1 npg npgstaff 2281 May  3  2015 startup.tcl

Now scripts does 'lappend ACQSERVERS nnaida$i' from i=1 to 8

The ~/.cshrc was modified to change the MIDAS path for a convenient analysis method, but it should be done in a shell script instead, as it pushes the MIDAS BASE to all instances 
of MIDAS, such as the Run Control, etc.

As we did not want to log out, and the X session is setting these globally somehow (unexpected) then I did a temporary hack.

The directory we did not want, MIDAS@aidas.240215 was moved to MIDAS@aidas.240215.hacking

Then a symbolic link called MIDAS@aidas.240215 was created to point at MIDAS@aidas

We should remember to undo this later and fix the situation.

Let me which merge stats for all data links would be most useful and I will upload screenshots.
